#1 Remember which party was against slavery back then, and which one was for it?

Abolishing slavery and women's suffrage were noble causes and were constitutional. I wouldn't soil these causes by putting the healthcare takeover bill in the same class.

#2 But Dinty Harry would (and did). This should make a great campaign ad - it'll show Ried for what it is and remind people who, exactly, opposed slavery.

#7 get set for the grand betrayl. By getting this to the floor the dems can now let the wobbly Senators like Landrieu and Lincoln vote against the final bill, and Reid just passes this with the nuclear option. It goes to committee and we are all toast. By the time 2012 rolls around it will be imp[ossible to dis-establish the agencies, laws, rules and regulations that have been put in place. Welcome to the workers paradise my friends, the era of government interference in every aspect of your lives has now arrived. In a generation, we will be just like Germany or France....and in two, no one will remember what actual freedom felt like.

#8 NoMoreBS no one will remember what actual freedom felt like.

#9 If they push it through on reconciliation it will be repealed in 2013 as the long promised first act of the incoming trunk president after the 2010 congress refuses to appropriate the necessary funds to implement the legislation in 2013.
