Senate Democrats won the cloture vote at about 1:15 this morning, moving the now over 2700-page ObamaCare bill closer to passage, after bribes to both moderate and socialist Senators. The Wall Street Journal calls it "Change Nobody Believes In." The payoff for Senatorial Gigolo Ben Nelson (D-NE) is especially sneaky, because it was hidden by a hyphen in the bill. Nelson also proved that he was not holding out for a compromise on abortion because there is still federal funding of abortions, but both pro-life and pro-choice groups hate the compromise. Sen. Bernie Sanders (Socialist-VT) got a socialist medicine starter kit for Christmas.
So what's in the bill (other than bribes paid for with your tax dollars)? Americans for Tax Reform has a list of the tax increases, Michelle Malkin points out that "children" will be covered until the age of 26, and the Congressional Budget Office still admits that this thing will still cost $2.5 trillion over the first ten years of spending. Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) says that the bill is just a "starter home," and they'll be adding onto it later.
Senate Republicans blew its chances to kill ObamaCare by being incompetent, and now they're considering just giving up so they can go home for Christmas.
Even though Democrats are painting opponents of ObamaCare as birthers and neo-Nazis, claiming that wanting the bill to fail is the same thing as wanting a Senator dead, and telling young people to withhold sex from opponents of ObamaCare, this thing is far from a done deal. The American people hate this, and the more they learn about it the less they like it.

Even though the United States Postal Service lost $3.8 billion last fiscal year and expects to lose more than double that amount this year, they spent $800,000 on things like fancy food and alcohol. Why bother being fiscally responsible when the government backs up everything you do?
