Your answer to everything the chosen one does is one of two things, and I quote, "He did the right thing" or "He did the wrong thing, but only because he had to because of previous policy." Fuck that, when does he have to account, in your eyes, for HIS policy. You crawl out of his ass, and maybe, just maybe, you will get some people to meet you in the middle, but as long as you are on the left edge of the cliff throwing rocks I wouldn't expect anything other than rocks back from those on the right cliff.

Here is my bet, you ready, bookmark this, my bet is the house tries to get done what they were voted in to do, but the senate and/or the saint blocks it. Then you and your cronies will cry about "the lies". Care to take me up on it? I can use the search feature too you know.

Which is what happened when democrats tried to get things done; Filibuster. We ended up with watered down versions of things so we could get some 'blue-dog' or moderate republican to actually allow the bill to go to the floor. This rule needs to be removed, as it prevents compromise because either party can just say, "No" and then its over.

Exactly. If you actually do a search of my posts from say 2007 you will notice my trademark phrase is "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" because at the end of the day they are ALL playing the politician game.

So they passed what they wanted to pass and not what the people they represented wanted.

So, when the people had their opportunity to show them who is the boss and that who the senators were suppose to represent and didn't, they got fired by the peoples votes. Oh and what a big response it was.... Might have been the biggest change in history.... How many people got fired anyway? It might be a record....

Lol, they ran on health care reform and they won. They controlled the House and Senate because they were voted in. The House was really paying for the Senate's failings. 70% of the public wanted a public option, and as posted in this forum, people wanted the bill to go further. It got watered down and somewhat neutered in the Senate. So those failings really drained any enthusiasm from liberals and Democratic-leaning independents, and the harpies on the right drummed up faux outrage about the bill, and that side won the enthusiasm battle.

But guess what? Health care reform is here to stay.

What they passed wasn't "reform," it was a piss-poor compromise that basically pours money down a hole of bureaucracy and technicalities that in the end won't change anything. At all.

As for the loss of "Blue Dogs," most of those were Dems who rode in on Obama's coattails in traditionally conservative districts (such as my own). Most of those representatives voted against the Health Care Bill as a political stunt in a failed attempt to set up the "I voted against my party, therefore I am a good Democrat" ploy to get re-elected. As you can see, most of them failed. The Senate has 6 years between elections, so they rammed the bill through with the "reconciliation" bullshit because they think their constituents will forget in time. I bet in two years the VA senate seat that goes up for re-election will be back to red.

Why bother waiting three months? To be fair? LOL. Go ahead and start now.

On the topic of the blue dogs, hate the plan, not the player. The strategy was to bring in conservative democrats, run them in districts where a left of center liberal would never win, and call it a majority. The ensuing outrage at the lack of ability to rubber-stamp the chosen one's agenda is only surprising if you just walked in the door.

Those who followed were punished.

It's akin to putting 1/2 a tank full of gas, the other 1/2 full of water, calling it a full tank, then getting mad when the engine won't start.

Hate the driver. Not the car. Fool.
