Something has to be done. Moderate Republicans know something has to be
done. Just saying No ain't going to cut it.
Well, if proposing 34 seperat bills to date is doing nothing, so be it.
I consider "doing nothing" summarily dismissing each and every bill and
idea the Republicans suggest, without debate or due process...

Fact, we can address waste without a huge takeover.
Fact, tort reform will save billions
Fact, the ability for ins. companies to work over state lines would save
billions.
Fact, outlawing preexisting conditions requirements can be done without
a huge take over..

Fact, these four things can be done without a huge takeover and if the
Dems were really concerned with reform, they would address these issues
seperatly without a huge takeover, but that is not their final agenda...
Until they get serious, the name calling and lies, are useless..

Only the GOP would give kudos for someone heckling the president giving
a speech in Congress. Even most Republican politicians are railing
against what he did, but the unhinged portion? They think it's just grand.

Read the original statement again, then my response.. Maybe I missed
something here but heckling was not even part of the conversation. Seems
like you just blurted out an attack at "the unhinged portion" out of the
blue.. Seems a bit unhinged to me



I take it you didn't see the title of the post?

Yup, you are right.. Still, two little words are nothing compared to the
booing and hissing the entire democratic side of the senate did during
Bush's 1991 state of the union... Guess the double standard continues...

Those two, but I suspect several more, including some rather
Conservative Senators. If the final package comes in close to deficit
neutral, I suspect you could have McCain and Voinovich on board.
Perhaps, another couple, but I wouldn't want to guess who.

Orrin Hatch?

It wouldn't surprise me. There are several Senators, from both sides of
the aisle, that when push comes to shove, put partisan differences aside
to get the job done. Hatch has done that in the past. My view, it will
depend on being as close to deficit neutral as possible, even if it
includes a "pubic option". That public option will most likely be co-
ops, but again, if it comes close to deficit neutral I could see several
Republicans coming on board.

In all the recent noise, overlooked is Grassley, Enzi, and Snowe, have
all been working with Baucus, in Committee, to reach some sort of
compromise legislation. Grassley and Enzi have been vocal against the
public option. I wouldn't predict Enzi signing on, but Grassley is a
possibility. Perhaps, a long shot, but possible.

Funny, during Obama's speech I heard booing and hissing. Not much was
made of it, as it isn't uncommon in these sorts of speeches. However,
calling a sitting President a liar on national television ... Many would
say that crosses a line.

Really, I didn't hear it... Not like the display in '91...

With all her travels abroad and diplomatic experience, Palin is their
choice for secretary of state.
