Monday Night Blogosphere Roundup

I’ve been doing a lot of Christmas things with family; preparing, shopping, decorating, cleaning, etc. I really appreciate the folks posting here keeping things updated. My mind really isn’t up to in depth analysis on all the political happenings right now, so I’ll just round up some of the thoughts of those that are.

It’s hard to find any optimism with the healthcare disaster so close to being a reality, but glimmers of hope do exist. Democrats are actually pinning their hopes for the midterm on this unpopular healthcare bill. The rest of their strategy is to continue to blame Bush. That my liberal friends are actually celebrating this based off one modest bump in a CNN poll brings the optimism up another notch. Meanwhile the other half of liberals are making lists of why the bill should be killed. Don says there is no satisfying the liberals.

Unbelievable! Can you believe a U.S. Senator actually prayed out loud on the Senate floor?

A conservative blogger friend is so afraid of this healthcare bill he crosses a line I can not, but I’m sure speaks for others afraid to say what he says. A Byrd dropping for Christmas? Seriously? Are you actually wishing death on someone on the birthday of Christ? I’m sorry folks, but I can’t go there.
