Its LITERALLY everything the GOP now complains about, but they did it themselves. Jamming bills threw.Adding amendments that have nothing to do with a bill.

How can we believe a part that says they stand for small government, state rights and being fiscally responsible but do the exact opposite?

I just don’t think we should have any politicians in office that take the will of industry over its own citizens.The health industry and drug makers and auto industry and Banks and Big oil. Anyone wonder why all 5 of these industry’s are top dogs with profits in this country? How can we bail all these people out and not our own people with health care?

Lets not forget they are nitpicking and trying to pin the economy issues on Obama. For saying jobless rate wont go higher then 9% or whatever.Did they forget that they caused this mess? Or maybe just maybe that rate might be 12% or 15% had we not done anything?

Dont let the gop frame the economy issue in their favor. Asking Americans to give them a chance when they had 8 years after only 6 months of not having control is ludicrous.

Obama needs to stop being nice because they are taking advantage of it knowing hes going to try and be bipartisanship. Saying no to everything unless you get what you want isn’t bipartisanship. Obama in my opinion has held up his campaign promise of trying to work with the other side. I think the gop is trying to take that and run with it so they have something to hide behind every time they say no.

I think a huge mistake with health care was leaving out the single payer. Like another author said it leaves the public option looking like the extreme options in the health care reform. WE ARE ALREADY COMPROMISING WITH A PUBLIC OPTION. Letting the GOP try to convince the rest of us that they are being left out because we wont compromise is just BS.

Let it be known. Republicans and even democrats. You will be voted out if you vote for a coop or trigger bill. You wont be able to hide behind these as trying to be bipartisanship.

The American public are not morons.We see it for what it is a copout so you can hide the fact of being bought off by the health industry.

I’m not really sure why the GOP is all up in arms over not being included. Obama gives them lots of tax cuts in the stimulus, but because he did he ended up with no bargaining power and a knife in his back while the cry about dems not being bipartisanship.

Am i the only one that remembers that the gop had control of congress and the presidency for years?They keep on whining like there has never been a party that could pass bills at will.Medigap plan D? Bankruptcy Bill? Bush tax cuts? The bush tax cuts were passed by exactly what the GOP is whining about how dems might pass a filibuster to pass health care the SAME EXACT WAY AS BUSH TAX CUTS WERE PASSED.

Im an independent. I currently support Obama.I understand both partys have their flaws.

I just cant sit here and listen to a party whine about Deficit spending and not having enough money for health care for all when they pretty much racked up what will be 10 trillion dollars(would have been zero debt in the year 2009 had bush and gop not destroyed the budget) in debt and 2 wars. Think about that for a minute.

The Republicans keep bringing their “dirty and outdated Laundry list” to the table, Obama says: Clean it up and give me something NEW; but they insist on bringing the “old” stuff up. Obama says: HEY! Listen, I said NEW stuff! NOT last year’s worn out stuff. Get Real will ya’. Then they pout and whine that Obama rejects their “old” stuff. And says he’s not playing fair…..Well, the new sherrif in town says: I’ts my ball now, you can play but I’m the umpire, kappish?

Thank GOD the time ran out and The Lord showed up and pull the covers off the REPUBS!!!!!

It might be of interest that Chuck Grassley receives his major political bribes from the medical insurance and pharmaceutical industry. His major supporter in Iowa covers 71% of the medical insurance in that state, no wonder they don’t want to compete on a level playing field; no wonder Senator Grassley is serving as their lackey. They keep him in office and he guarantees their egregious profits at taxpayer’s expense. In the Senate, they call that democracy; everywhere else it is corruption.

Doesn’t “No” mean No? How many times can President Obama ask and be turned down cold, before he looks like a stalker for continuing to call? These guys don’t want to dance; they just want to make a show of turning up their noses.

He reached out, no support and no aknowledgment of his efforts. Now it seems they are ready for bipartisanship if they can have it there way (no public option.) That looks to me like the same old Republican “bipartisanship” as we have had for the past forty years. They know were he is. They know where he stands. If they have something constructive let them take the initiative.

Cantor is following the cycle of a domestic abuser. After aggressive torment breaks, he wants to get close and love-y dove-y. Has affection and aggression all mixed up.
