This makes up for the Maryland loss, I've never been this happy about a bill in my life. Today, I'm proud to say that I'm a democrat and elected those who gave all of our people health care! Congratulations guys you finally did something right. I'm really at a loss for words on how happy I am.

Last night's vote was a giant step in the well being of the country. Funny thing was I would watch 5 minutes of coverage on MSNBC, 5 minutes of coverage on Fox News, and then 5 minutes of coverage on CNN...and then I kept rotating them. Fox News was by far the most entertaining..lol...you had one whining that the house had just burned the US Constitution, one who had a FOLDED UP copy of the Constitution that he says he carries daily (which seems like a psych problem to me)..and 50 blue million others whining and crying which amounted to the biggest whine fest ever televised on national TV.... How quickly these same folks forget the years 2001-2006 when the GOP used underhanded tactics to run our nation in the ground in every facet of life here in the USA...for the sake of LEGISLATION THAT WAS DESIGNED TO HELP NO ONE BUT THE WEALTHY. Piss on em, I say. I hope Obama achieves all his goals because the future of our nation depends on it.

I guess I'm probably the first conservative to post on this thread. Probably not a typical conservative though because I was for health-care reform. What we got was terribly watered down and nothing close to the single payer system that we really need. Also it is really health insurance reform not health care reform. But it's still better than nothing.

I think that the positive aspects of the bill which kick-in very early will transform the opinions of the casual voter in particular and could actually turn out to be a major obstacle to the Republican party come Nov and beyond due to them looking like obstructionists and in some cases liars.

I'm disappointed it wasn't a stronger bill, I'm glad we got something.

Painting with a pretty broad brush there! For instance, he wants to cut our nuclear arsenal in half. That may be dumber than anything that even Bush or Carter did.

There is safety in strength and if every good man throughout history had been a pacifist the entire of mankind would either be enslaved or would have been destroyed. We must not start down that road, we must remain strong and diligent, but should try to again become honorable.
