Awesome analogy for getting health care reform passed in spite of the idiots

From tombaker, a commenter on Think Progress:

Sometimes a housecat will need medication.

But, because it's a cat, it doesn't understand that.

SO a good cat owner must do what is necessary,

wrestle that cat to the floor, pry its jaw open, and, at the risk of getting scratched and bitten, ram that pill down its unwilling throat.

The cat will be pissed, for sure, and it will avoid that owner for a couple of days, but once the medicine has done its job, and the animal is feeling itself again, it will be right back in that owner's lap, purring.

Republican congress members are a lost cause. But can the blue dog Democrats get this through their heads, please?
