    If deeply flawed progress is what it takes to get any progress that’s what we are going to have to settle for. And it’s going to be even harder in the Senate.

    Nancy Pelosi takes a tremendous amount of heat but she is the best Speaker we have had in ages, this is the most progressive step since the civil rights legislation in the 60s.

    Now, let’s get it through the Senate and begin planning its improvements, of which there are many to be made.

    Yeah, it’s so sad that more babies won’t have their brains vacuumed out of their skulls. Golly gee whiz Democrats are compassionate.

    Can’t let anything but liberal opinions through on this board, huh. Typical retarded, totalitarian Democrats.

    cgray, doesn’t the fact that your comment #7 is posted contradict your comment #7?
