Congratulations to my fellow Democrats

[Sword_Of_Truth]

In fairness to Tricky, you did choose "Sword of Truth" as your nom de plume.

I did....to annoy and infuriate the 9/11 truthers back when I was first drawn here by the 9/11 conspiracy debunking work that was going on here.

I keep meaning to ask for a name change, but I haven't figured out a name I really want.

Vote is happening Right NOW
About 10 minutes left at the time of my post.

We're watching history, folks!

I think it's a good idea to change, since I obviously took a meaning from it you didn't intend. That said, it's votin' time!

So are the people at Moody's:

(FT)- Moody’s Investor Service, the credit rating agency, will fire a warning shot at the US on Monday, saying that unless the country gets public finances into better shape than the Obama administration projects there would be “downward pressure” on its triple A credit rating.

Examining the administration’s outlook for the federal budget deficit, the agency said: “If such a trajectory were to materialise, there would at some point be downward pressure on the triple A rating of the federal government.”

Aye... I should just pick something and then change it again later if I come up with something better.

And it's a done deal.

 

[thaiboxerken]

Yay! America just won!

 

[Sword_Of_Truth]

And it's a done deal.

Sixty billion dollars a month servicing the national debt just wasn't enough for them.

 

[rdaneel]

final tally 219 Yea, 212 Nay

edit: whoops, changed at the last second.

 

[Unabogie]

Yay! America just won!

Yes! As of today, my boss's wife no longer has to worry that United Health will drop us this summer.

This is a wonderful day for Americans!

 

[Tricky]

It ain't perfect. It will require years of tweaking. But it's a start. A good start.

 

[MattusMaximus]

219 to 212

Epic win

 

[corplinx]

219 to 212

Epic win

Epic win would be like 400 to 31 or something.

Considering the contents of the bill, its quite the other epic thing.


Seriously, what sort of person looks at the contents of this package and stands around high fiving? Is it just a die-hard democrat loyalist thing? Yay, we passed a bill with huge majorities in both houses? Go us?

 

[thaiboxerken]

The second vote needs to be won....... and the GOP is going with the abortion angle, again.

If you suffer from the delusion that the problem with health care was insurance, then yes, it is a good start.

People that care about the uninsured.

 

[FlamingMoe]

Once again, I am very proud to be a registered Democrat, and SOO very proud to be an American.

You must be proud of being smarter than everyone else, too. I mean, where would we all be without you genius Democrats to take charge of our lives?

**** the Democrats, except the 34 who voted "nay."

The tenth amendment isn't toilet paper.

 

[MattusMaximus]

The second vote needs to be won....... and the GOP is going with the abortion angle, again.

Yup, they're trying to torpedo the bill by scaring the hell out of the pro-life Democrats.

I don't think it'll work.

 

[thaiboxerken]

The GOP anti-abortion angle logic is weird. By their logic, to be consistent, tax cuts are the same as paying for abortions.

 

[FlamingMoe]

Yay! America just won!

What did we win? MORE CRUSHING DEBT!!! WOOHOO!
