... WHO wrote the bill?

The same people who always write "the bill". Usually a task force consisting from aides to legislators (Representatives and Senators) and various Special Interests Groups that have a financial or ideological interest in the bill.

Then they adjust the "flavor" by adding "special seasoning" to taste, for those whose votes they need to pass. That's how all "sausages" get made. Whether the bill passes or not depends on mix of ideology and financial incentives.

"Hey Dems, Keep your laws off my BODY!"

That's actualy quite a clever catch pharse. The libs used that one about abortion and we should turn it right back on them! I like it!

Good post Phil. Obama is a facial contortionist - and they ‘made fun of Bush’!

I thought so too.

FReeper Salvation posted that to me on a thread early
yesterday morning on my Breaking News Thread I posted.

It was the inspiration for my Pete Sessions Freep sign
I made up! :)

is fixed! LOL!

The Senate Finance Committee. Key players: Baucus and Grassley. Baucus has to give Grassley something that Republicans Hatch, Kyl, Enzi, or Cornyn can agree to sign.

Which Grassley, Hatch, Kyl, Enzi or Cornyn should avoid at all costs.

If they know what's good for them...and the party...and the country.

They should know that, once the Conference Committee is convened, it will be the House bill that survives -- regardless of what a milquetoast measure the Senate might pass.

Why try to take credit for "bi-partisanship" when it simply insures your eventual defeat?

The Dems’ problem is that only live voters show up at town halls, so they appear to be in the majority again...

...WHO wrote the bill?...

We have begun research on that question. We hope to name names of those who had a major part. The Committes are given credit but we hope to find who actually did the grunt work the Chairmen are taking credit for.

So far it appears there is a wide web of leftists individuals inputting to legal weanies who transform the input to gobbledygook
