If this "not so perfect" bill was this hard to pass out of the house, in which we have a wide majority, why would anyone think we could have gotten anything more progressive through?

I ask this question because I've heard so many believe that somehow,
if you just ask for what you want and pound your fist on the table,
Presto, you get it!
Well for those who still think that, I've got news for you;
this nation has got more than just liberals in it,
and since we have a right leaning corporate media, always there,
willing and able to assist the GOP in any way they can.....
adding to that, all of the money that was spent attempting to defeat this bill
from the rich ass corporate outside interest.....the fact that we have gotten this far is a wonder.
Principle is fine,
but reality is what tells the tale.
We don't need no stinkin' imaginary utopian health care,
We need the real thing, and we need it ASAP.......
Cause it's only what is real that counts.
