” We cut the cost of the bill, delayed a floor vote and ensured that the public option will not be forced on anyone,” said Rep. Mike Ross (D-Ark.) who has led the negotiations for the Blue Dogs. “Members will have time to go home to talk to their constituents and actually read the bill.”

It aint pretty, but its a move that will not please Obama and the moonbats who wanted public option to be key part of the bill. Now if this is delayed until they come back, I would have to ask everyone slamming the Bluedogs right now, what are you going to be doing during the month of August, Writing letters to your representatives, or going on vacation and cursing bluedogs?

I can't say it enough, Get Involved

We need to ask “If the plan is so great, why is it good for US but not for THEM?”

Absolutely!!! And this should be part of the deal! In what other job does an employee vote in his own raise and health care benefits??? Only in the U.S. privileged class known as Congress!
