wow, someone with a clue at last. This effort needs (needed) direct and constant pressure to keep the energy flowing. It is much harder to build something up than it is to tear it down.
Here is where things got fucked up IMO...
1) Obama should of had the dems out to camp David to to hammer out some solid ideas and direction for th program that were solid AND defensible.
2) There should have been a HUGE public relations blitz on the movement like the Obama channel on Youtube. It would also have fended off disinformation quickly before it went wide.
3) Recognizing that the biggest problem is not the public but Congress(Obama is fine with the public, but not with them) and winning their support, establish some discipline. Not members are worried and will not stick out their necks for a 50-50 chance at being supported down the road by the public.
the roll out was just awful. I expected better from Obama.
This whole ordeal is so frustrating. I can't even watch the news anymore, I mostly come here... at the very least, because the commentary is relatively sane.
I just heard on World News that they are going to drop the end of life consuling from the bill.
Fuck them.
They are also pissed about abortion. Hello, family planning does a helluva lot more than just abortions. You Christian zealots need to make up your damn mind, do you want poor people having more kids and ending up on welfare and your taxpayer money going to them or do you want them having fewer kids? And don't even fucking bring up the adoption issue. It's easier to be a foster parent than to adopt a kid...especially if you are single or gay. Most of these kids go into the system and never come out.

And when recess is over, it's time for the 9/12 project that is trying to organize a million-man conservative march on DC!
