Is the Silent Majority starting to come out of its slumber? |

Edited on Tue Aug-18-09 08:01 PM by trumad
I've read several recent stories about our side starting to outnumber the anti-health-care Morans in townhall meetings.... Robert Reich calling for a march in DC.... Progressives saying no way to a bill with no "pubic" option----
Did we rope-a-dope the Repubs and they've punched themselves out...
I think it is time we put them on the canvas.

I hope that we can arrange similar demonstrations favoring health care reform in other cities to coincide with the one rumored to be called for by Robert Reich. Lets do it! Whaddya say? :)

I don't think anybody ever considered for a minute that Democrats with such a huge majority would have any issue passing reform.

6. The wackos are overplaying their hands. |

They're showing up with guns at these things just to "prove that they can", and it's attracting attention--and not the good kind.
We can win a vote in the Senate on the public option if we get every Democrat to vote for cloture--we don't even need Ben Nelson or his kind to vote for it to win.
