5. Bingo! This issue is not going away.
As more and more Americans find health insurance out of reach, with fewer benefits, and higher co-pays they will find their way to our side of the street.

Republicans offer nothing of value here. Their last attempt at acting like populists saddled seniors with a pathetic bung hole drug program and left a massive debt for Democrats to clean up.

2. Whatever it takes to get the American people to see...
And if the Republicans want to play into our hands, then so be it.

Of course, they did not intend to have it play out this way...

3. I thought you would refer to the door in the face sales technique.
Edited on Sat Feb-20-10 03:01 PM by Gman2
They started with a decent plan, then inch by inch, in full living color, they gutted it, in real time. We hated it more and more. NOW, they slam back in public option. We get much of why we liked it back. And Obama is capable of selling more than a worthy pipe dream. He can get to brass tacks. NOW, he can sell it.

And what I thought you were referring to was how the rethugs insist that their obstructionism was ordered directly, by the American people. Thereby insulting us by telling us what we believe. tehy keep inissting that REAL AMERICAN opinion, is Teabagger. That will cause a severe backlash. And in the bible it says, dont grab the best seat thinking you will gain social advantage, only to be asked to occupy a more lowly location. When the people tell them, that is not at all what I think or want, they will be DONE.
