We'll see. The country is better off with nothing so long as there is an Obama in place, with people like Pelosi and Reid flanking him. They don't care what the people want as long as they get what they want.

Playing for all or nothing is bad politics Compromises with the left have been incremental over the last hundred years. Keep it up long enough and serious change occurs. I'm just a third into SOFT DESPOTISM, DEMOCRACY'S DRIFT. WOW!! Astounding that 17th century thinkers foresaw what we're experiencing. American salvation requires election of the kind of radical leadership that we won't accept, for now.

As of now, a bill will pass. Now citizens can make their points on either side. How can you take that opinion when democrats are hiding from their constituents? It's not about health care; Americans see the socialist democrats for what they are, power hungry career politicians. If it was about health care, socialist democrats would be bragging about how great Medicare is, how great the VA system is, how successful their 40 year war on poverty has been. If socialist democrats were really concerned about health care, they would be having town halls asking how they could make it better, doing everything they could to help make it better, not running around destroying the greatest health care system in the world by starting from scratch with Central Planning as the almighty, rammed down everyone's throat. Of, by, and for the people, not of, by, and for me the career politician.
