"Never give in.. never, never, never, never..."
Never give in.. never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force.. never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
....

We shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing grounds. We shall fight in the fields, and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender!

Winston Churchill

1. Wonderful! We all needed that.
A foot in the door is better than a toe. A toe is better than nothing.

BUT, we still have to fight like hell. Fight like hell for a public option that we can then expand on, once it is popular and people like it. The idea is to make it like Medicare which people ended up loving. THAT is what the REpukes fear most because they KNOW that it will gain in popularity.

Let's all be "Fighting Dems" that won't give up on the health care dream. Try anything and everything to get that foot in the door. And keep on fighting to expand the reform elements. And if that means primary fights to challenge those Dems who in the thrall of the insurance and drug companies, then that's what we will do!

"Failure is impossible." Remember that.

Arthur: You fight with the strength of many men, Sir knight. I am Arthur, King of the Britons. I seek the finest and bravest knights to join me in my court at Camelot. You have proved yourself worthy; will you join me? You make me sad. So be it. Come, Patsy. Black Knight: None shall pass. Arthur: What? Black Knight: None shall pass. Arthur: I have no quarrel with you, good Sir Knight, but I must cross this bridge. Black Knight: Then you shall die. Arthur: I command you, as King of the Britons, to stand aside! Black Knight: I move... for no man. Arthur: So be it! Arthur: Now stand aside, worthy adversary. Black Knight: 'Tis but a scratch. Arthur: A scratch?! Your arm's off! Black Knight: No, it isn't. Arthur: Well, what's that then? Black Knight: ...I've had worse. Arthur: You liar! Black Knight: Come on then, you pansy! Arthur: Victory is mine! We thank thee, Lord, that in thy — Black Knight: Come on then! Arthur: What? Black Knight: Have at you! Arthur: You are indeed brave, good Sir Knight, but the fight is mine. Black Knight: Oooohhh, had enough, eh? Arthur: Look, you stupid bastard! You've got no arms left! Black Knight: Yes, I have. Arthur: Look! Black Knight: It's only a flesh wound. Arthur: Stop that! Black Knight: Chicken! Chicken! Arthur: Look, I'll have your leg. RIGHT! Black Knight: Right! I'll do you for that! Arthur: You'll what? Black Knight: Come here! Arthur: What are you going to do, bleed on me?! Black Knight: I'M INVINCIBLE !! Arthur: You're a looney. Black Knight: The Black Knight always triumphs! Have at you! Come on, then. Black Knight: Alright, we'll call it a draw. Arthur: Come, Patsy! Black Knight: Oh, oh I see. Running away, eh?! You yellow bastards! Come back here and take what's coming to you! I'LL BITE YOUR LEGS OFF!
