Waterloo: Weariness and Desperation in Health Care Debate
Welcome to Waterloo. Not enough votes for a public option, not enough votes without a public option.
Weariness and Desperation in Health Care Debate

Acorn, Amerocorp, Union thugs will not silence Americans.
If Dems ever hope to be in public office again they will have to vote against Communist Health care and vote against Amnesty.
