IF THIS BILL IS SO GOOD FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SHOULD IT NOT BE PUT UP TO A DIRECT VOTE?

Rather than all the bull, If these pols have the courage of their convictions should they not stand tall and say I voted for it. If they believe in it what do they have to fear ?

Folks that believe in this bill, If it really is good for America shouldn't those who vote for it be held accountable for it? Are we not all held accountable for our actions. Please try to avoid the nasty terms

Update:

EDIT@ PiPointe you are missing the point I want the politicans to stand up and be held accountable for their vote. Nothing wrong with that. If they voted for it they must believe in it Right?

Update 2:

I am talking about just the politicans if they are going to vote yes on it Then they must believe in it. If they do not believe in it vote no

    Referendum in November.

    That would save some Democrats from a massacre at the voting booths.

    This is why we have a Congress - to "represent" the wishes of the people, which many in this Congress are ignoring. We The People MUST force our representatives to listen to us!

    They did vote for it. It was the main topic in Obama`s election platform.

    Since the MAJORITY do NOT want this debacle, they should have a direct vote AGAINST it.

    Of course it should..

    Again, no tax cuts exclusively for the rich were ever passed under Bush. Why are people so thick?..
