reform, it will hurt them, but I see that as hurting the country, not
helping the "Party of No".

Don't be too sad. I'm OK.

If the Democrats would propose an adequate health care plan, it would
probably pass. To blame the non-passage on the Republicans is very
Reid-like, but also bull****.

If this health plan is so great, why hasn't it been made public? Why
are
Republican senators prevented from seeing the bill?

Read this. It's from a liberal newspaper, so it must be true.

In the meantime, keep blaming the Republicans for the bill not
passing.
Not even Howard Dean does that.

Read for content, John. I didn't blame the Republicans for the bill not
passing. The Republican party is irrelevant, and it will remain
irrelevant until they get there house in order. Pandering to their
"base", all 20% of the population, will keep them irrelevant.


You're right. I misread. I thought your reference to the "Party of No"
was a jab at Republicans. But it seems as if the Democrats are doing
it to themselves.

If the Democrats would propose an adequate health care bill it would
pass with support from both sides. It would also stand the test of
daylight.


I am sorry but it bugs me big time that no democrats are concerned about
the secret meetings and the lack of any time to review the biggest bill
in history. That has got to set off bells with even the lowest level
thinkers...



Secret meetings? You mean the Dem caucus and the President? Or, perhaps
you're talking about Dick Cheney's meetings with Big Oil.

Sounds like you need a refresher course in gov't process.
