Thank gawd for liberals.

I have misgivings about the health care reform bill about to be passed by the U.S. Senate. But I'm concluding that there must be some good in the legislation. If for no other reason than that Republicans are livid and unanimous in their opposition. Yes, the GOP sees this as a real defeat. They are going home with tails between their legs. Of course, I know the bill was watered-down to appease moderate and conservative Democrats. That's a shame. Causing many liberals to hold their noses while they vote for this historic legislation. Yes, liberals know it's a step in the right direction. And that some day, we'll have truly universal health care. And even a single-payer public option. Thank gawd for liberals. Otherwise, we wouldn't have social security or Medicare or public education. --Jim Broede

At least we liberals are getting a foot in the door, so to speak. Now there's no retreating. Ever forward. Bit by bit. We have the conservatives on the run. Upset. Because they are losing ground. --Jim

Liberals these days seem to be calling themselves progressives. As if they're ashamed of the word 'liberal.' Not me. I wear the name liberal proudly. --Jim
