Ok, What the fuck is this??

The controversy over Republican Rep. Joe Wilson's shouting out "You Lie!" at the President over his claim that illegal immigrants wouldn't benefit from health-care reform apparently sparked some reconsideration of the relevant language. "We really thought we'd resolved this question of people who are here illegally, but as we reflected on the President's speech last night we wanted to go back and drill down again," said Senator Kent Conrad, one of the Democrats in the talks after a meeting Thursday morning. Baucus later that afternoon said the group would put in a proof of citizenship requirement to participate in the new health exchange — a move likely to inflame the left.

Imagine back to how you felt about Congress two years ago.

Summon up that anger.

Recall your rage.

Remember Tom DeLay. Get his evil face right in your head. Think back to when Rick fucking Santorum was a US Senator.

And remember.

Now read on.

What's up with this? Progressives FOUGHT to get Tester in the Senate, and now he's shitting all over the number one progressive policy goal? WTF???

People need to call Testers office and ask him to make clear that he supports a bill ONLY if it has a P.O.

If Jon Tester can't be counted as a rock solid vote on Healthcare, who can? I know he's from Montana, which isn't as Liberal as the rest of the country, but it's getting bluer, and Tester is a reliably progressive guy normally, right?

Seems to think Leon Panetta is resigning from the CIA over Torture prosecutions....

Seriously, what is it with these people? Firstly, that they would imperil a nation's security by posting this kind of outrageous rumour on the internet, and secondly, that they would take such pleasure in spreading it.

It saddens me that people like that are actually out there.

Sorry if this comes off as over the top. I'm a little upset today, Ted Kennedy was a great friend to Ireland, and Irish republicans.

Hoyer has committed an unforgivable sin

Steny Hoyer has committed an unforgivable sin, as far I'm concerned.

Earlier today, he said this:

Hoyer (D-Md.) emphasized his support for a public option in a teleconference call with reporters, but also said he wants to ensure Congress sends a bill to the president.

“I’m for a public option, but I’m also for passing a bill,” he said. Democrats believe the public option is necessary, useful and important, he added, “be we’ll have to see.”

He then said there are many other important parts of healthcare legislation that have been approved by three committees in the House.

President Barack Obama already has signaled he won’t insist that a public option be included in final healthcare legislation, and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on Sunday opened a firestorm with the political left by saying that a public option was “not essential” to a healthcare bill.

Hoyer has long been seen as a voice for centrist Blue Dog Democrats, who have reservations about the public option.

Read on for why I think he must be primaried:
