Shove the Healthcare Bill down the Throats of the Republicans

Where have you been?The losers on the left have been doing that for A year already. The liberal party is the problem, they can't get together on healthcare.To get A resonable deal they need to start over.No special deals for anyone or any group.
Obama needs to live up to his campain promises and then he might get more support.

I'm not sure what good a healthcare bill is without the public option except a gift to the insurance companies. Typical Washington ...take from the people and give to the corporations. I feel the fool for expecting anything good to roll off the hill.
I do agree with no quarter for the right wing though. Why show mercy to those who give none in return.

Jake...you better rephrase your title to include "shoving down the throats of the democrats" too. The exit poll done in Mass was just issued last night and it said that 41% of voters "strongly opposed" Obamacare and only 25% "strongly in favor."

Most everyone, regardless of their party ideologies, want health care reform. We just want it done honestly, fairly, and in a way that will not bankrupt our country. Obama and the democrats have unarguably been trying to "shove this down" all our throats, yours included, through dishonesty, corruption, and will bankrupt the US. That is why America is rising. The Bay State and other Eastern elections are just the beginning.

Jake: I agree it is a wise political move to have the House pass the Senate Bill. Protestations from the right regarding popularity, et al, are attempts to cow the Democrats. If the situation was reversed, Republicans would say they are sticking to their principles and pass their bill.

Democrats have majorities in both houses, and own the Executive Branch. Successful legislators legislate...and failed legislators do not. Republicans understand this, and are raising power over policy....and misuse of power over ethics.

Victor...Republicans are sticking to their principles by not allowing the corruption from the liberal democrats to continue and are putting ethics over misuse of power. I know you can’t see this because of your liberal mindset and the facts you don’t read or watch balanced news or books. But it’s your democrats that are "misusing" power. That was evident by the huge upset in Mass. and the many lies from Obama about transparency, openness, and the debates for all to see. Is that not a lie Victor? Can you address that Obama lie since that is the root of all the reasons why liberal democrats are getting kicked out of office?

Sweetheart deals and backroom negotiations may have got Obamacare passed in the Senate, but it has left the American public dazed and confused. Determining the quality and the cost of your healthcare should never matter whether you live in Florida, Michigan, New York or Nebraska.

Our liberal democrats cannot expect me or you to support a 2,000 plus-page proposal that many members of Congress don't fully understand either. Too many Americans (Mass is the latest example) are convinced that healthcare reform will force them to lose their current coverage and then have to pay higher taxes for that new coverage. The response from Congress to these concerns has been confusing and you should know that. Obama, Reid, and Pelosi need to start over, get all our politicians involved, and back their camping promises right now. The lies and corruption by the democrats is what is hurting Obamacare. If not, then why does it take all those corrupt, special sweetheart deals to get it passed? No liberal yet has addressed that question

This line from today's Times editorial sums it up nicely:
"It is indisputable that the Republicans have settled on a tactic of obstruction, disinformation and fear-mongering, but it is equally indisputable that the Democrats have not countered it well."

Very true jmark.Uncorrected misinformation becomes fact in the minds of the misinformed that do not look beyond the soundbite news blurbs for their own answers. So for your typical tv vegtable american the death panels etc..become reality, they believe it to be true because they heard on the news.

U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold is calling for the removal of "sweeteners" from the final health care bill, which, he wrote in a letter, were originally put into the legislation to sway some members of Congress.
In the letter, from Feingold to House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Feingold writes that items that give unmerited Medicaid assistance to some states, and eliminate some insurers from cuts to Medicare Advantage plans, should be removed.
Feingold's letter said that these items create unequal treatment for different states and take away from the bill's overall quality.

"No liberal yet has addressed that question"
Russ did just that a week ago Jim.

jmark...Times editorial? Aren't they the ultra liberal newspaper on the verge of bankruptcy? aren't they the same newspaper that had their own liberals remove the entire board of directors for getting caught in lies from their journalists against Pres Bush? That Times jmark?

Can I counter with Rush or Ann's opinion on this?

Carl...here's what I said "The lies and corruption by the democrats is what is hurting Obamacare. If not, then why does it take all those corrupt, special sweetheart deals to get it passed? No liberal yet has addressed that question."

According to Feingold's recent meetings on health care, he has every intention to vote for Obamacre as is and with the sweetheart deals. However, watch all the democrats come out from their secret meetings (Obama promised you he wouldn’t do this. Do you recall that Carl?) this week and insist they wouldn’t have passed Obamacare as is. All to save face since Pelosi said today that Brown's victory all but canceled the liberals most corrupt Obamacare.

Let me see when did the Filibuster become more powerfull than a majority vote. When did the minority in our 2 party system have more power than the majority??????????

Democrats still have a 59 to 41 vote majority, and they act like they lost.

I say get rid of the filibuster, because the minority party in this country should have no rights.
