    All these Liberal defenders and blind Obama followers. Who among you has read the entire 2,000

    plus page proposed Bill ? And if ONE says they have they are right up there with the liar Obama himself.

    Only 9% of the Senate that is pushing this monstrosity have read it. And you know Obama won't.

    And neither will the public until it's passed into law and then it's too late.

    How can ANYBODY, Liberal, Conservative, Libertarian or Independent, blindly approve and even defend something they have not and WILL not read ?

    And then these Liberals wonder why Obama is compared to Hitler in his tactics of control.

    Don't worry. That's why it's behind doors. They don't want the media to know they are working on how to blame Bush and the republicans for this. I'm sure we will get some answers here on just how to blame Bush.

    Dems are in control. Yes they are scared. It's on their shoulders.

    They never could blame repoblicans! Obama and all his fathful followers have tried for all there worth to blame Bush and the republicans but all it has ever done is show just how incompetent the dems are. Besides the obvious fact that they want control of every aspect of our lives and the fact that they want to get there handes on all that money and dog the Ins. co's. they are trying to destroy America and capitolisum. Can you say Clowerd and Pevions .

    The Dems in Congress have got themselves into a situation where they're damned if they do and damned if they don't. I think the smart ones are those who recognize this and are jumping ship before they are part of the blood bath.

    mr_crank, Congress operates on the principal of majority rules. The Dems are the majority. They rule Congress.

    They are scared because the 2010 elecions are coming up and they ( the demobots ) have done nothing but lie , and lie some more .

    Our great Potentate is scared because he may lose his push unless he replaces them with all these high paid who knows what they do czars and he then can no longer blame Bush , but he has accomplished one thing in my mind . In one year he has become the worst presidend for America ever in history.

    Terrified. And they see no way out and try to believe if it passes at least SOME will be pleased....

    They are so screwed.

    I'm thinking of the next email to send my Senator, something like 'the best thing to do would just be to say 'we spoke of the basic deal amongst ourselves so long we had no idea the public would really hate it this much. We'll start over.' "

    The repubs wont shut up about it though. What is going to happen is they are going to ask for speding increases because complaining will sink in and the systems will fail.

    Plus everybody is going to cry about the extra little deduction from the paycheck. Employers are going to pass along the addedd expenses.

    No. I fully intend to blame Republicans if health care passes. Instead of cooperating with the majority party to make a reasonable bill, they decided to play partisan politics and force the Democrats to get every member's vote to pass health care reform. That means unscrupulous Democrats can extort exorbitant concessions for their home states in return for their votes. Yet, all it would have taken to stop this bloated, earmark-riddled bill from going through is for a couple Republicans to cross party lines in the best interests of the American people.

    Six Democrats so far are jumping ship and thank God Chris Dodd is one of them...they see the writing on the wall.
