Now that their free ride is squandered, the Democrats should...
3
votes
... abandon their signature policy like a bunch of punk ass bitches
... water the bill down to the point that Lew Rockwell would vote for it
... keep pushing the same sorry shit forward so they can blame Boehner when it dies on the Senate floor
... damn the torpedoes and footnote health care to an even more radical economic strategy
... start a Balkan war for cover
... convert to Islam en masse
... split the vote by tying health care reform to the most virulent piece of populist racism in the history of American politics
