All these 'moderate' democrats say they can't vote for the health care bill as it is...?
Is this just their way of saying, "I'm for sale, let the bidding begin?"

If a republican would have done that, it would be a bribe. Libs call it a compromise. Go figure.

Depends on if they can get a better offer from the (un)insurance companies to allow them to continue to run death panels.
FACT - Insurance companies in the USA admit to pushing up prices, buying politicians and not paying out claims when they should [1]
FACT - PER PERSON the USA spends more on healthcare than any other nation on the planet [2]
FACT - Obama debated his plans before the election for healthcare [3]
FACT - the chance of a child under five of dying in the USA is greater than industrialised nations with universal health coverage [4]
FACT - Obama was elected by the American people to bring in change [5]
FACT - Obama wants to stop insurance companies from screwing American [6]
FACT - The reforms Obama wants work in the Netherlands and Switzerland [7]
Let me know if my facts are wrong, but please provide proof.

Check your out of date facts. Health care passed last Friday in the Senate. It passed the House long ago. It will be on Obamas desk before Christmas. Ya think he'll sign it? BTW, just so you know it's called the Patient Protection and affordability Act. This is your homework, look it up.

Since the health insurance corporations obviously own the entire republican party, I can only assume that you aren't against health care reform; you merely believe the politicians should vote based upon their convictions. And not upon money.
I agree. And that's why I can see clearly that the republican party is bought and paid for by the health insurance corporations, bankers and the filthy rich. They're whores. No doubt about it.
Source(s): Anybody remember the bridge to nowhere? Please? Let's not pretend that the republicans aren't knee deep in pork. I don't mind the fact that people are angry about our government (Even though now is the time that we really need our government), but the fact that so many people believe that the party, that damned near destroyed this country, is the solution to our problems, is down right frightening. And we all know the republicans are responsible for the current state of our economy. Somehow, far too many of us still don't understand, that what has brought us to where we are today, is not too much government. It is the lack of government. SO THE AVERAGE AMERICAN IS BEING RAPED EVERYDAY! AND ASKING FOR MORE OF THE SAME? There isn't another country on earth, where the average citizen would actually be protesting the fact that their government is trying to protect them from shysters and swindlers.

you're patently speaking on the subject of the "Louisiana purchase" of $a hundred,000,000.00 Reid is such an fool. Watch Landrieu upward thrust up against the "public decision" in coming weeks, whilst Reid showers money on her state. Liberals have no experience of financial accountability!

If you or I offered a congress person $5,000, or perhaps a key position on some committee, to vote a certain way, we'd be in jail.
Why is it even legal for congress to buy the votes of other congressmen/women? (Yeah, I know it's always been done, but that doesn't make it right --- we really, REALLY! need new rules for congress!)

YES. Votes for sale by Demo-rat prostitutes.

Absolutely, not only are they whoring their convictions and votes for pork, but their also increasing their leverage in the Democratic balance of power.
Source(s): I've found that there hasn't been such as thing as a Conservative Democrat since the Pelosi Congress.
