Excellent Republican amendment to HCR
This politics stuff is getting kind of fun. When Sen. Vitter and Sen. Coburn introduced a health care amendment that would require all senators and representatives to be enrolled in the public option, they expected the Democrats to rise in opposition. What happened next is just RICH. Julie Gulden's diary :: :: On Thursday, thinking Democratic senators would balk at the idea, Sens. David Vitter (R-La.) and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) introduced the gimmick health-care amendment. "The idea, broad-brush, is that whatever government option is in the bill, every senator and every representative should be enrolled in it," Vitter told The Hill. "No other possibilities, no other choices." "It's called leadership," Coburn said. "If it's good enough for everybody else, we ought to be leading by example." But Democrats called their bluff, and the Republicans wouldn't allow it. When Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) tried to become a co-sponsor of the amendment, he got the cold shoulder. So Brown, joined by Sens. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), Barbara A. Mikulski (D-Md.), and Al Franken (D-Minn.), forced his way onto the amendment with a unanimous consent vote. Franken: I rise and ask for unanimous consent to be a co-sponsor to Senator Coburn's Amendment #2789 requiring all members of congress to enroll in the public option. I am pleased to co-sponsor this because I strongly support the public option and would have no qualms at all about enrolling in this plan. Brown: And it's a little curious that some of these, these two sponsors are so much against the public option but they want to pass this amendment. It sounds to me like you are as serious about going on the public option as I am. Franken: Well, I talked to my wife Franny, we've been married 34 years now, I talked to her a couple weeks ago and I said if this thing passes we should go on the public option. She said absolutely. Presider of the Senate: Without objection Senator Franken's motion to be a co-sponsor of the amendment is approved. From Julie Gulden on Kos. |

"At the approval of the prime sponsor of the bill" Bill, Bill, Bill...there's more than one way for co-sponsors to "attach" themselves to a bit of legislation or an amendment to same. What happened here, and what everyone realizes (except you), is that two of your boys, neither of whom are among the brightest boys in the Senate, introduced an amendment they thought would either help kill off health care legislation or embarrass the Democrats. What they did not expect was that the Democrats would embrace the idea. In other words, their little idea backfired on Vitter and Coburn. Perhaps Vitter ought to stick to whoremongering and Coburn to his boys at the "C Street House" of ill repute. Nope, is a case of well we will steal the glory. Kill it in the end, but say we were those for it. Pigs. Your brain is a very capable organ. It seems even to be manufacturing serious hallucinations in this case. It was a bluff by Republicans, the Dems called 'em on it. The only glory stealing that exists is in your head. They actually did steal the glory. Good politicking! I agree, but it was pretty much the Republican's own doing. They probably thought they could make some political points, and then it backfired. If they want their party to survive, they need to stop thinking just about themselves and start thinking smart politics, which means inclusion not exclusion. -- Nom=de=Plume Both the ****ing parties need to think of the people, not what is best for the party.

It was a bluff by Republicans, the Dems called 'em on it. The only glory stealing that exists is in your head. They actually did steal the glory. Good politicking! I agree, but it was pretty much the Republican's own doing. They probably thought they could make some political points, and then it backfired.

Neither is including the people who voted for them and also pay the bills. I disagree. It's pretty clear that the Democrats, at least wrt to healthcare reform are doing (or at least most of them are attempting to do) what the people want. -- Nom=de=Plume You must be a lot more stupid than I figured you were.
