They always want more money...

Is it me, or is this clusterf*ck of a "health-care" reform bill becoming an even bigger disaster? Wait till they piss off big pharma, who has (quite illogically) remained supportive, even hostage, to the Chosen One's moronic plan to screw up the economy and country even more. Waiting in the wings are some highly effective, inflammatory ads aimed at seniors who will hold these idiots responsible in the 2010 mid-terms.

Nobody wants to piss off seniors, for the simple reason that they vote. I don't like it - I think they're given a disproportionately large impact on policy (and it's normally quite liberal), but that's the way it is. And this time, Republicans can use it to their advantage - cause the dirty little secret about seniors is that not only do they vote, they're very easy to frighten and manipulate. The right should revive the ghosts of "Harry and Louise" if that's what it takes to kill this horrible legislation.
