Filibuster-proof majority my bum cheeks

This comes from NanceGregg's journal. Nance has a whole lot to say about this. Can't say I don't agree with her.

“We cannot support any health-care reform proposal unless it explicitly excludes abortion from the scope of any government-defined or subsidized health insurance plan,” the letter read.

Nance's Journal: Yes he will and you should read all of this. - "Last-Grasped Straws"

Well said Nance. Well said.

Barrack Hussein Obama will be the next President of the United States. And that is not a fluke – nor is it the result of a more competent campaign strategy, more compelling ads, more money spent, or more people of a certain type being persuaded to come to the aid of one of their own.

It will be the result of decent Americans wanting to feel decent again, wanting to rid themselves and their country of the kinds of people who feast on hate and propagate it, the kinds of people who promote greed as somehow being something to be valued and admired, the kinds of people who make up excuses for the use of torture, for war-for-profit, for watching unmoved while their fellow men are annihilated for political purpose or reduced to living hand-to-mouth for the sake of a few more dollars of profit in someone’s pocket.
You should read all of this - click here please.

I realize that many of you are seeing Obama’s campaign as appearing weak and ineffective because he’s not fighting back – and he’s not, at least in the traditional way. But this is not your traditional politician – and you should have known that all along.

In my humble opinion, he’s fighting back in the best way possible: by ensuring that the McCain campaign has an endless supply of rope with which to hang itself. And in case you haven’t noticed, that noose grows tighter every day. read more here Digg!
