Reid: Didn't Make a Deal? SUCKER
— Slublog

You have got to be kidding me.

“There are 100 senators here and I don’t know that there’s a senator that doesn’t have something in this bill that isn’t important to them,” Reid said. “If they don’t have something in it important to them then it doesn’t speak well of them.”

He likened the legislation to the defense bill, which is thick with earmarks and other provisions benefitting individual members and even private corporations.

“That’s what legislations all about,” Reid said of the compromises

Didn't somehow find a way to funnel some of that sweet, sweet taxpayer cash to your state? Tough luck, chumps! Guess you'll have to grovel earlier next time!

It's unreal how cavalier they are talking about using our money to bribe one another. (h/t: @seanhackbarth)

1 This doesn't speak well for the American public. We didn't get one thing important to us in this bill.

11 I suggest that everyone call their senators and demand a sweetheart deal from Dingy Harry for your state. I mean, everyone else has one, so it's in your right to DEMAND a bribe.

Sigh. Being reasonable doesn't work with these @ssholes, so let's play their game and demand bribes. If every single state doesn't get a bribe, then the senators shouldn't vote for the bill.

I would rather you made your appraisal after seeing what the enemy does, since it is certain that, angered and outraged, he will soon launch a determined counterattack." It was true then. It is true now. Prepare to be filled with our terrible resolve, Harry.

I was just surprised that we have not heard the story yet that at 12:45 a.m. this morning, Roland Burris walked up to Harry Reid and said "I'm a no on cloture - gimme".  Of course, the day is still young so I expect to hear this story any day now.

34 Hello all, So I am leaving California for a job in Quebec Canada. I will be taxed at about 33 per cent and get covered by the national health care service, but get this; I won't be using that, I will also be covered by a health care coop formed by the company. So I will have private insurance. Question; why do they need to provide a private health care coop if they have national health care? Yeah, I know the answer. Funny side note; Quebec and Canada in general seems more conservative that America at this point. Also, the two guys most responsible for questioning AGW and Mike Manns bullshit hockey stick are Canadian. I will miss the weather in L.A., but nothing else. 7 banks in California failed on Saturday including mine. Fuck you California.

58 To touch on the overall "Republicans screwed up" argument, if we had made a deal, we would have been trying to winnow down a much more popular plan over the summer. It was because of us publicizing what all was in it that its popularity collapsed and the moderate Dems did it for us. They gained more they we could have hoped for outside of outright killing it. We also would have done nothing, yet again, to distinguish us as the party of small government. This was the right move.

They've been the exact same way with all of their lunacy. They were proud to boast of having shoved the Porkulus through without letting anyone read it. They are proud of holding 1 am votes and constantly reanimating legislation that the public has clearly denounced and rejected. They are proud of the Traitor Tour that The Precedent ran around the world on. Dems, and the left, are very proud of all the shit they've been able to pull. If given any opportunity at all, they'll do far more. These people are without bounds, and with the slowest pea-brains that the US has ever seen. No morals. No shame. No limit to their stupidty or their arrogance.

One downside to the holiday legislating is that our media talkers are not working.  Nothing but fill in hosts on radio and lots of Americans not paying attention to the news during the Holiday's.

I only cling to hope that if they are not proud enough to show it to the public in the full light of day before passage, they are hiding something.  Once passed, there will be no hiding anything.  We will get to analyze it and explain to the American public how the theft of the century was accomplished.

80 Disgusting on two levels.  One, because it goes beyond the normal horse-trading ("I'll vote for the bill if you include an amendment naming the local post office after me") to the transfer of billions of dollars in an outright quid-pro-quo.  Two, because it demonstrates just how awful the bill must be and how disinterested individual members are with the health of the country at large.  If the bill was truly a good and honorable thing for this country, the member of congress would need no financial bribe to vote for it.  It would prevail on its own merits.

83 More bad news - just released, Medicare and Medicaid are slashing their reimbursements fees (tests, hospital, M.D. payments, etc) by 20%, like they even come close to covering bottom line costs anyway. Will private insurance companies follow their lead? Or will private insurance policies have to charge another 20% right away? Looks like "they" are trying to bankrupt the system as soon as possible. If anyone needs any kind of medical care or medication, better try and get it sooner rather than later. That "free health care" just got a whole lot more worthless because if hospitals and health care providers can't pay the rent and the utilities, there will be quite a few that just won't be around too much longer.

I'll probably ask the question how I stated it here as well...
Are they crooked enough to take bribes, or stupid enough to work for free when others are getting paid $300 million for the same work?

I'm not sure I see a third option here.  I'm not sure they like getting communications from me anymore.  I am however half-expecting an Audit sometime soon for my improper opinions and attitudes.

142 It's unreal how cavalier they are talking about using our money to bribe one another.

Two reasons: 1) Democrats are in the majority, so they don't have a problem with attempting to do whatever they want. Who's going to investigate them?  2) If and when Republicans take the majority back, they won't do a damned thing about what the Democrats did. No investigations, no indictments, and no imprisonments. What's more, the Republicans will go straight back to making compromises with the Democrats, even while being in the majority, courtesy of the RINOs in their ranks.

Jean Chretien, the erstwhile Prime Minister of Canada, once defended the shitloads of money he was sending to worthless projects in his own riding (read: district) by saying "That's what a good member of Parliament does".

This is relevant because with your newly minted health care schemes, America will become more like Canada than you can yet imagine, and quickly. Harry Reid is just ahead of the curve.

Seriously folks, you may have lost the battle but you may yet win the war. When the Republicans retake Congress next year the first order of business should be to put an unending legislative full court press on Obama to undo whatever health care bill ends up passing here. He probably won't, but at least you'll have the stage set to do it quickly when is successor takes office in 2013 (as there's no way he'll be able to keep his office without succumbing to consistently applied pressure).

As long as you can repeal this bill before 2014 you will have only suffered some additional taxation and some interference with your private arrangements. But once that public money starts flowing you will NOT be able to turn off the taps, and health care and the increased governmental intrusion that comes with it will slowly consume your economy and your politics (look at what abortion has done to your judicial confirmations process). The American era, and the world as we know it, will come to an end.

This will feed the egoes of the anti-Americans of the world who currently praise this initiative; these will be the same people screaming themselves blue when America shuts off it's foreign aid and security guarantees as domestic spending drags the US into a more isolationist, inward-looking stance. So, you'll have that schadenfreude to look forward to.
