…it will be important for voters to see at least some previously without insurance being able to sign up for affordable coverage.

If such a thing as affordable coverage exists, we can be sure congress won’t find it.

Nope, SW, I really want to see Weiner and Grayson drag a couple of those old “got mine” blue dog bastards out into the back alley and wale on them for a little bit. Hey, it was a regular occurrence right before the Civil War

Bee did you forget? Congress wasn’t in session when the tea partys were happening. I’m beginning to think that we’ll have to solve the health care problem ourselves. How you might ask? By setting up a non profit health insurance agency.
Knock sense into them? No vote them out.

Bee, I love your fighting spirit. I wish you’d bottle some and take it across the river, to where it’s needed. However, I’m sure you’re speaking figuratively about “knocking sense into them.”

Healthcare should have been rammed through last summer during the height of the tea parties. They blew it, big time, in timing.

There are a few congressional dems who do give a shit – and they’re the ones who need to take the ones who don’t out into the back alley of the Capital building and knock some sense into them…literally.

Holte, I've worked with people who did a good job but had a way of not looking particularly good doing it. I've worked with people who looked really on top of things, but often were not. I've heard and read Reid is effective away from the cameras and bright lights. I have no way to know for sure. Going by results, even considering he like Obama was dealt a tough hand, something is left to be desired.

Randal, I don't think Reid is a war hawk. Do you, really?

Tom, I think most congressional Dems do care about us. I think most are highly frustrated. I also think a few are too intent on playing their own games, and that others need to make life really rough for them until they knock it off and stop pulling against the team. The names Nelson, Lincoln, Landrieu and Stupak leap to mind. And yes, they all need to get it in gear; there's no time to waste.

Congressional Democrats might not care about us, but they certainly care about their careers. Hopefully they’ll figure out soon that if they don’t get it in gear yesterday, they’re gonna get voted out in November.

I think politicians’ oblivion in general is a result of their sheltered lives full of perks. They’re like those infuriating drivers who go 40 in the left lane while they’re texting, eating, fixing their hair, changing the CD…

But he’s got those cool glasses.

Molasses in the dead of winter. Unless it’s for blowing stuff to smithereens.

I have probably said this before, but Harry Reid must be one hell of a mover and shaker behind closed doors, but on camera he comes across as being anything but. We can only make our opinions on what we see, and when it comes to Reid as a leader, I see nothing.
