1. No. Time and again, this party has shown that it does not represent the poor, minorities, workers.
It represents the wealthy, banks, large corporate concerns, industry, and basically these "representatives" represent the interests of their own investments.

I am sadly not optimistic.

13. So curl up in a ball and do nothing. That way, you're not disappointed. Republicans like that plan.

5. If the White House is not willing to stand up for Public Option the Senate sure won't.

8. I think they are in the process of making that decision right now,
and they will decide to do it. Actually, what they will have to do is wave the whole rule because not all of the bill will be able to pass on reconciliation. They will need 51 vote to wave the rule.
