Are we being played for suckers?? |

Two-hundred and fifty-eight Democrats in the Congress and we can only squeeze out 220 votes for healthcare reform? Was it really that tight of a decision or was it meant to appear as a very "tight" decision? After all, if it was that difficult to get thru a Congress with such a huge majority, then we will need to lower our expectations for any bill to get thru the Senate. It fits the puzzle, if you are a liberal. Don't expect too much...

1. I heard it was all politics. Pelosi had more votes than she needed to pass the bill, |
|
so she cut deals with Dems in disticts that might not re-elect them if they voted for it.
I see why it was done, but it makes politics dirty.

When I've spoken to friend or coworkers who haven't been paying as much attention to this debate I find that the majority of them want health care reform and a lot of those people have been assuming that the "public option" was a Medicare for All kind of plan. They're going to be in for a rude awakening when they realize all we got was RomneyCare and forced participation in a private plan - with no guarantee of access to care.

The only time they need us is on election day. The rest of the time it's piss off, bozos.
