The Party of NO

[jensieblue]

Congressional Republicans are holding fast to their role as the party of NO. After their failure to act on Health Care, they are fighting like their Country Club memberships were at stake, to prevent any meaningful action on the Health Care Reform bill now before Congress. After refusing to be a part of the process and progress of the Bill, they are now in a snit claiming they don't know what's in the bill. I am so tired of immature, adolescent men dominating our legislative branch of government....

I'd be willing to bet that many Democrats don't know what's in the bill either. :roll:

Republiicans passively ensured their ignorance. Democrats were the process. If not for them, we would remain in ther hangman's noose of inactivity. Need I remind you of how long this need has been the focus of inactivity?

hangman's noose of inactivity = Government

government

Are you saying you do not believe we need government?

What she is saying is you haven't a clue about what you are talking about and are insisting on blaming one party for all our ills when our TOTAL Congress is in shambles. Read what is needed for real health reform as posted in the many threads on this forum and then you'll be up to speed on where the real need of healthcare reform is located and how it can be achieved.

The issue has just became moot. Sen. Ben Nelson (D) Neb. has announced he will vote for the Senate healthcare reform bill, thus sending it to conference committee between the House and the Senate. It is my firm hope you all enjoy what you are about to get.
A bill which hasn't been seen, hasn't been read and one which no one except Harry Reid and his compatriots know what is contained in the bill.

mmmm, NO.

But I believe the speed at which the wheels of government turn is determined by how much money the special interests are going to give out.

When the government feels they've tapped all the big money, then they might decide on something. It isn't over because they don't want it to be over.

I for one see improvement in the Republicans and even in some Democrats as demonstrated by their just saying NO to bad laws and deficit spending. The reason Republicans lost the confidence of the citizens was the abandonment of their core principles. Going back to them is the first step. Now the party must take the 2nd step and introduce a plan that revives the economy and reforms healthcare without allowing defcits to grow and government control of our lives to increase.

I guess the threats, payoffs and intimidation finally worked. I sincerely hope that the people of Nebraska show Mr. Nelson that his job security is more about them and less about Obama

Democratic leaders also offered Nelson a deal similar to the $300 million in Medicaid assistance Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana got for her support, numerous sources told Fox News.
