A civil war is threatening to erupt within the Democratic Party as liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org looks to punish moderate Democrats opposed to the sweeping health care overhaul proposed by party leaders.

Man DEM little piggies have a huge tent, everyone is welcome in there, until MOveon huffs and puffs...

MoveOn has reportedly raised more than $3.5 million in contributions to fund primary challenges against "any Democratic senator who blocks an up-or-down vote on health care reform with a public option," according to an e-mail sent to group members on Thursday.

The e-mail warned that any Democratic House member who joins Republicans to filibuster the health care reform measure will "face an enormous backlash from the grassroots."

If the public option, a centerpiece of the debate, is widely popular, one might expect that overall support for the health care bill would be stronger than it is. In the ABC/Post poll, 45% said they "supported the proposed changes to the health care system being developed by Congress and the Obama administration," but 48% were opposed. In the NBC/WSJ poll 38% said that from what they "had heard or read about Barack Obama's health care plan," his plan was a good idea; 42% said it was a bad one. In the new Gallup/USA Today poll that mentioned the White House and congressional Democrats, 25% said they would support the final health care bill and 33% oppose it, but 39% said it would depend on some decisions that have yet to be made about the bill.

Weak sauce, come back with something to say in 10 years when you grow up.

Oh and in fact, where I live the ambulance service is a private company.

You don't have anything to contribute do you. You better run back to your sand box, the cat is taking a crap in it.

Once again, this has nothing to do with conservitives. If you are upset about the HC bills, blame Dem Little Pigges. It has made it this far because of Dems, and has not passed because of Dems. Either way it is the Dems fault.

What is this rubber and glue day? Come on please, step up or shut up.

Again you miss the point. This is a war of the Dems. Has nothing to do with anybody else. You have a hard time with that don't you. Always trying to deflect and point at the shinny objects. But while you lay in your mental crib,the real issue passes you by.

Ok, with the kid remarks, I guess I mistook your depends for diapers. the real problem is you can't put together a coherant subject. This thread is not about debt, or any other "can of ensure" passing you by. It is about the HC bill, try to keep up. I know your short term memory may be sketchy, but please stay on topic.

You know my 99 year old grandmother used to tell the same stories over and over. That is exactly what you are doing. Start another thread if you want to talk about that. This is about HC, and the only thing that matters to weather or not it passes is if you have a D after your name. (or I in Joe's case).

I understand your concern, you may not have much more time to wait, or rember what you are waiting for. Start the thread, and away we go. If you want to comment on the HC bill, then please do so. Other wise have an ensure and a smil and STFU.

Thank you for getting this back on topic

And, yes, I'm for health care reform and a public option. I suppose I must be more 'conservative' than you because I'd rather not see my premiums go up another 100% in the next 7 years.

you are about to be close to being on topic. What is in the HC bill really does not matter. It could be great or suck, and it does not change that is a 100% Dem HC Bill. Now, can you nudge a little closer and comment on weather or not it will pass and why. I sure there are classes at the library that could teach you how to blog. They are perfect for people like you, that start out with "What is a Mouse" and move on from there. Just your speed.

Ok back with the dementia, you were making such progress, then that damn short term memory thing again. LOL, you are a lot of fun.

(who does not understand that "Option" is a synonym for "Choice").

Choice sounds so great, why not expand all our choices, car insurance, life insurance, fast food, shoes, clothes, car wash places, furniture makers, house builders, etc. we could have all kinds of guberment agencies that provide choice. That is what the founding fathers must have really meant. And all those govt companies can be ran with the same efficiency as SS, Medicare, Postoffice, DMV's, Wealfare,... That sounds like a wonderful plan. Or not!
