You said Drudge.

Don’t worry Dirty Max Baucus is leading the charge on the Senate Finance Committee bill. Blue Corporacrats might hold their nose and vote for it.

So, you would rather the Democrats act just like the Republics where they threaten their members who don’t follow the party line? I’m sorry, I would rather have the messy Democrats who think for themselves than become the Borg like the Republics. If we don’t like the way the Blue Dog Democrats think, we can vote them out of office.

I think it’s more a sign that they are starting to feel the wrath of their constituents. But WTH, whatever works is fine by me.

That’s one thing that I will never understand. Why in the hell are not the corporations in this country screaming for a nationalized health care system? Having it would make them so much more competitive it boggles the mind that they are fighting tooth and nail to stop something that would help their bottom line.

To hell with the obstructionist Republics. When 72% of Americans want something and that includes 50% of Republics, then Congress needs to git it done!

Why is it the Party of “NO” can take OUR country into a Trillion dollar War of choice in Iraq and not blink, but to INVEST a Trillion dollars over ten years to help ALL Americans they scream like they were castrated?

INVEST in Universal Single Payer Health Care, it lasts a lifetime!

I thought that this comment needed to be repeated.

It is quite hypocritical, convenient and telling that those on the right choose to attack “costly” health care reform which would not only benefit all Americans, but also small and large businesses, who without the added cost of health care for their employees could better compete on the global stage, BUT these same morons remain silent to the COST of the Iraq war.

I am not just talking about the $1 trillion dollar price tag of the war today, but also the estimated $1 trillion it will cost in the future for rebuilding our military, caring for our injured soldiers that nobody seems to want to talk about.

The question to be asked is simple: What would you want your children and grand children to be paying for in the future the cost of two failed wars and a perpetual failed war on terrorism or health care for all Americans?

Yet, they claim, nothing is being done…(HYPOCRITES)

There is no “BIPARTISANSHIP” with these Clowns.

Don’t let the Republicans bully you into some false “bipartisan” compromise. 73% of the American public wants this. The other 27% still think Bush was a good President. They never let you play in the sandbox when they were in charge. As Rush Limbaugh used to like to say when the Republicans were in charge: Elections have consequences. America voted you in to get this done. It has been 15 years since Health Care Reform failed in 1994 due to pressure from the insurance agencies and the fear tactics of the right. Now is the time.

Sincerely,
The American Public

Which puts the lie to certain TP posters’ assertions, that the Senate dems were overwhelmingly in the pocket of the healthcare industry, and that the single payer option was dead, for that very reason. They should offer an apology to the rest of us who have had to listen to them smear democrats, and for their chicken-little attitude.

End of experiment. Time for action. Move forward without the repukes, and let them eat our dust while we put back together the country that they and their facsist corporate controllers have destroyed over the last 8 years.

Name one good thing any Repuke has done for the country in the last 30 years…I give you time to think it over.

Fcuk the Republic Fascist Party

you have made a noble effort to gain bipartisanship. In return, the repubs would stall, demand concessions (which you would then give), and ultimately still vote against the bill which had everything they asked for.

In the meantime, the importance of healthcare for all is imperative – both from a moral standpoint but also as an economic boon to the USA; imagine the improved bottom lines of companies when healthcare is already provided – not to mention the fact that those with insurance subsidize healthcare for those without insurance.

So, like Nike, please “Just do it!”
