So what Dems will fuck us us?
Which progressives will vote against a pre-existing conditions ban or even a public option that isn't perfect in their minds, or those of their online worshipers? What Democrat will oppose an even weak PO because it doesn't set well with their insurance sugar daddies?

My guesses: Kucinich and Baucus.

1. the progressives used to talk about killing a bad bill
I haven't heard that kind of talk in a while, however.

3. Any bill that results in mandatory corporate insurance DESERVES to be killed
And so do the treasonous fucks who wrote it, for that matter. But I'll settle for just the bill.

If it's anything less than a true untriggered public option available to all who want it, it is NOT reform.

5. they would both be opposing good progressive legislation
for different reasons. Kucinich because he will fuck the good for the perfect

And the Blue Daogs because they were never for good (much less perfect) and answer to their corporate masters.

But I'm starting to feal we have had somw REAL grassroots impact on this.

So I predict VICTORY.

7. Didn't Kucinich want Baucus as a running mate?
Oh, wait...

That was Ron Paul. Nevermind.

11. He never said that.
That might have been the talk around the MonSatan water cooler, but Dennis never said it. He made some comment about a few things that he had in common with Ron Paul (i.e. opposition to the PNAC wars and occupations) and the DLC spin machine ran with that and turned it into "Dennis wants Randtard Paul as a running mate".
