John Breaux for HHS Sec?

[Unsane]

I think he could call in some favors and get things done. He's respected across the aisle and is familiar with DC politics. Dick Gephardt is another possibility.

[Thrill]

1. Hopefully not. He is one of the most hated Dems

Always bending over

[Unsane]

3. most hated?

lol ok

[Thrill]

8. Yes with the base. One of the biggest Bush Enablers

He's an ass kisser. DINO is being kind

[Unsane]

9. He isn't hated by his colleagues who actually vote on legislation

[Thrill]

11. I'm sure he is loved by Republicans

because they don't really want real Healthcare Reform. So no doubt they would welcome him.

I think you should go look at some of his ratings from the the Public Health organizations. And he's not even Pro-Choice. Do we want someone who is not Pro-Choice running healthcare? Come on folks are we forgetting how much of a pain in the ass he was when he was in the Senate?

Isn't he one of the ones stopping getting cheap drugs from Canada?

[TwilightGardener]

2. Isn't he ultra lobbyist extraodinaire, with his buddy Trent Lott?

[blm]

4. Breaux is a BFEE fixer in a donkey mask. He and Poppy were BFFs even before Bill came along

and stole Poppy's heart for favorite Dem fixer.

[frazzled]

5. Gag me with a spoon /nt

[Bluebear]

6. 'He's respected across the aisle' - well, that's the main thing. nt

[Unsane]

7. It's a selling point. We can't get healthcare passed with an uber partisan

[WI_DEM]

10. No, Gephardt would be better if it had to be one of those two.

[DFW]

12. And Howard would still be far better than either of them

Maybe that disqualifies him from the outset?

[Hippo_Tron]

13. I don't think he'd take the pay cut, to be honest

Breaux could've coasted to a fourth term in 2004 and continued to be a powerful figure during a very important time in American History. Instead he quit so he could get rich. Not that I have a problem with that, but I doubt he'd go back to public service.

[FLAprogressive]

14. DLC Lobbyist -- perfect choice

[karynnj]

15. Or Bill Bradley

Who fits the other Obama pattern - he has played basketball.

[Sebastian Doyle]

16. FUCK Breaux with Gephardt's shrivelled up raisin sack!

Two DLC coward Bushsuckers not even worthy of the time it took me to type this. :puke:
