In the words of GOP Senator Kit Bond:
"I think the White House got a better deal than they even had hoped to get"The White House immediately endorsed the proposal.
Of the Michigan Democratic delegation, Conyers, Dingell, Kilpatrick and Levin all voted no. So what's the the problem with Bart Stupak and Dale Kildee? Is this why we go to all the trouble to elect Democrats so they can vote the Bush line?
The problem with the Democratic Party is that there is no Party, and this is why we continue to lose even when we are in the majority. One, one Republican voted against this bill. 105 Democrats supported it. This brings me back to the question of why do I give a shit about the Democratic Party if this is what they give back.
Fuck 'em; Pelosi, Hoyer, Emanuel and the whole lot.
And never mind that Barack Obama just fell in line with Democratic Leadership and endorsed this travesty. I expected better of him.

And they have the gall to call it a freaking compromise! ARGHHHHHHH
When the Republicans are openly celebrating, it takes a real politician to say with a straight face that they achieved a compromise.
Caving to the GOP doesn't work anyhow because they will still hang they issue around the Democratic neck. See: Max Cleland
