Yea 60 Nay 39
History has been made

The polarization of American politics is complete thanks to the DEMOCRATS forcing through a very unpopular bill that is 100% partisan!

"From rationing care to infringing on the doctor-patient relationship, this government-run system will guarantee US taxpayers a staggering tax burden for generations to come," Republican Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa said on the Senate floor.

The Laughs to Lighten up your Xmas

• “The Senate’s health care bill is expected to pass on Christmas Eve. Yeah. Because, really, what’s more American than waiting until Christmas Eve to finally wrap something up?” — Jimmy Fallon

• “It does look like the Democrats have their 60 votes for health care. Harry Reid said this bill will save us hundreds of millions of dollars. Well, it would have, except for the hundreds of millions of dollars we had to pay to buy the 60 votes, but other than that. . . .” — Jay Leno

• “The Senate is ready to pass the health care bill. No public option, no buy-in, no op-out, no trigger. Do you folks know what this means? Neither do I.” — David Letterman

Merry Christmas
