...But as I watch the internecine fighting amongst Democrats over non-issues like abortion in the health care "reform" bill working its way through Congress, I see only one outcome.
That being a hollowed out shell of a bill that give everything to the insurance industry while only paying lip service to a public option. To be at all viable, the public option has to be open to ALL Americans, otherwise the few million that will be able to enroll in a public option will be too few to have any affect at all on private insurance premiums and services.
Let's get real here. The parliament of whores we call "Congress" is going to roll over and spread their collective legs for the insurance industry just to keep the money rolling in. I hope I'm wrong, but time and experience show me I'm not.
Mike Pence won’t even admit the Republicans are the minority party.
Here’s what he said the red hot minute the healthcare bill was announced on Thursday:
“Well, you know, there's a minority of Republicans in Congress and it's technically true, but I always tell people a minority in Congress plus the American people equals a majority. The Democrats may be able to pass this government-run insurance plan, that will lead to a government takeover without Republicans, but they can't pass it without the American people.”

This is a few moments of Stephanie's opener at "Stephanie Miller and Bill press Uncensored" at the Barrymore Theater. This is very poor quality, but it's the best I could do.
I had Stephanie take a picture of me and my friend in the lobby after the show.
Here's another montage for our buddy Glenn Beck. This one is based on O'Reilly calling him a regular guy with Steph, Jim and O'Reilly as the bread while Beck's wild rants comprise the meat of the sammich - set to Nine Inch Nails "Head Like a Hole."
