Some of my Tweet thoughts last night

As promised, some of my live tweets of the health care vote last night. I can't say I as surprised because if they were short vote, they would not have called the vote yet. That said the Stupak collapse did surprise me, as did the fact that they still won by a soft margin, meaning the Stupak sellout ensured passage of this bill. Way to go Bart.

My post vote intitial reactions:

No one in America is a virgin anymore. Everyone is screwed.

Stupak: principles? #wherearetheynow

So if I get in a car accident in my govt GM hybrid, and I'm paying the penalty for not having hcr insurance, do I still get treated?

On Obama's Late night post vote speech:

He means 'a government above the people'

Not every American, 2/3 voices were clearly not heard Mr. President.

Tax cut? More benfits, less tax and less debt. WOW! This is one magic f'n bill!!(sorry for the curse)

On Nancy Pelosi's post vote speech:

Is she prattling? I'm pretty sure she's prattling.

Nancy Pelosi victory lap - I hope she crashes.

This fight is not over. You don't have to roll over and accept this pile of bolshevik.

That's it, I'm going to bed and hope that I wake up to discover this was just a bad dream...
