The fact is people who are bitching about not knowing what is in the bill are too lazy to spend 30 minutes finding out. Those same people are more influenced by a commercial in Jerry Springer full of lies. Then they repeat those lies. People who have actually taken time to see what the bill does say 'what the hell are you talking about'. Apparently everyone else says 'wow, really?'

Here is the link again if you missed it:
http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2010/...-iraq-war.html
In short, it shows that when people are asked if they are in favor of the actual content of the bill they say that indeed they are. When asked what is in the bill they do not actually know even though, as you say, there it is, right there to read.
Lies won. Truth lost.

BUT ITS DEAD so my point is quit bitching about it, the Left can if they choose repackage and present another Bill, this Bill or a hybrid of new and old, learn from its mistakes and move on.

That remains to be seen.
It doesn't want to go in the cart.

No the American voter won, Democracy won, we all won as long as we hold Elections, officials and Policy accountable. There was no lies just different point of view.

Is *that* your point now? The bill is dead and you're too stupid to understand how tragic that is?
Good point.

In the sense that the position you hold seems to be about to win I agree but because your position is antagonistic to your own well being....... you're losing.

You are wrong. Death Panels. Not in the bill. Government control of health care. Not in the bill. Deficit expansion. Not in the bill. Government between you and your doctor. Not in the bill. Increased costs. Not in the bill. Rationing of health care. Not in the bill. etc. etc. etc.
