I hate to say it but,We folded like an accordion on public option. |

I had hoped for more fight, more willingness from our leaders to put themselves on the line. Instead they fell into line like good robots.
I so hope I am wrong I am hoping for some. some last minute slap in the face to shake them out of their stupor
trying not to turn on them Rage and Disgust are fighting for control within me

I am QUITE skeptical of the O Man. But in case you hadn't noticed - and it appears you don't notice much - there are MYRIAD Dems all over America, including the House and Senate, who haven't given up at all.
All in all, you don't seem that clever, or even awake.
