Brown, who campaigned against the proposed health care overhaul, said Wednesday that his election had sent a "very powerful message" that voters are weary of backroom deals and Washington business-as-usual. ... McCain said the message was clear: "No more business as usual in Washington. Stop this unsavory sausage-making process."
This actually hurts me to read.
But really, democrats? Call them on their shit. Put this out in the open, grab Brown by the balls and find out what he wants to do better. Something like, "We're very happy to have Senator Brown here, coming from MA, he's been able to see firsthand how government can work to make sure everyone has access to health care. So, Senator, what will you do to make sure everyone in the country has health care?" Then rub his face in it so he HAS to do something. There. No backroom deals, and you'll end up with either a Republican who has to vote yes because he helped write the bill, or a Republican publicly humiliated for being a jackass.
The democrats need to grow the balls to look the Republicans in the eye and say "Fine... go ahead and filibuster." each and every time they threaten it.
The problem with the super-majority/filibuster thing is that they are letting them get away with the THREAT of a filibuster and not the actual thing. Make them put their mouth where their money is (to turn a phrase on it's head)... see if they can actually filibuster each and every little thing. See what people think when they are OBVIOUSLY grinding government to a halt.

but the dead intern comment is probably questionable.
legalize it
Select your gun and then select your Meissnerd.
And as long as they're white and pretty they'll help bolster the failing newspaper industry.
wider bookz selection i mean
if the health care bill doesn't go through, I think those industries will get a huge bump from all the poors anyways!
Amazon and barnes and noble both have huge selections. Not to mention you can grab just about anything from the Gutenberg project.
So excited to get my nook in a few weeks.
