Nothing like some bogus race relations issue to cover up what's really happening --> Dems are failing. Pelosi and Reid said that health care reform will be handled after the break.

BUT they bloviated the nation to death before they were put in their place by the Blue Dog Democrats.

Hope for the nation rests with the Republicans and Blue Dogs

Is it too early to send Thank You cards to all of the Blue Dog Dems? Just wondering.

My congressman, Ike Skelton of Missouri's 4th district, voted for cap and trade and will likely vote for Obamacare.
I am very disappointed in this man.

And the hope I have is for the healthcare co-op.

Health Care Co-Ops, D.C.'s Latest Buzz, Have Ups, Downs

I work for one. We are innovative, provide fantastic care, and do it for lots less money.

They will give in after getting some concessions for their districts or states and vote through an even more bloated bill. That is how these things work. With majorities in both the house and senate, they will pass something, no matter how bad, just to say they did health care. Count on it.

Hopefully our side and a few of these blue dogs can at least hold down the runaway spending. I’m not a fan of more government regulation, but they also need to do something about the preexisting condition problem so everyone who wants to buy insurance can.

I don’t buy this supposed Blue Dog opposition...friction...or whatever it is. I think it’s a contrivance...stale Washington theater. A setup for “compromise.” Compromise is just a government-sanctioned euphemism for the installment plan. Me? I think of it more like small doses of arsenic. No matter what, we’re doomed.

Just publicity and cover for these people, most of whom voted for cap and tax.
