Yahoo News AP ^ | Aug 18, 2009 | CHARLES BABINGTON and RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR,

Frustrated liberals have a question for President Barack Obama and Democratic lawmakers: Isn't it time the other guys gave a little ground on health care? What's the point of a bipartisan bill, they ask, if we're making all the concessions?....

...Many liberals are fed up.

"It is clear that Republicans have decided 'no health care' is a victory for them," Andy Stern, president of the Service Employees International Union, said in an interview. "There is a point at which bipartisanship reaches a limit, and I would say it's reaching that limit."

What seems clear is that the room for compromise between Republicans and Democrats is shriveling to almost nothing. Some Democrats found Kyl’s remarks particularly galling. Even if Democrats manage to produce a health care bill that won’t increase the federal deficit over 10 years, Kyl said, “that doesn’t mean Republicans would support it.”

SIEU is the Stalinist front group and goon squad for 0’s attempted coup against the Constitution.

These commie hacks and the Pelosites are the only ones supporting this national enslavement masquerading as mere legislation.

Stock up on ammo and rations. Methinks we’re in for very interesting times if the Dems push this through.

Pure agitprop. And pluuueeeze. Charles Babington. That hack. If you look up “pompous and pretentious” in the AP stylebook, there is his picture. I wouldn’t believe anything he wrote, including the conjunctions, articles and punctuation in his copy.
