I partly agree with you. However, since the cowardly democrats are now avoiding town hall meetings, the democrats won't have angry crowds for a foil any more.

A lot of people are mad that they are being lied to. Local talk radio here has all sorts of people calling in upset about this health care program.

I am beginning to think that they should go ahead and pass this health care turkey. Let them put down what they want in an actual bill, so that they can't dodge questions by saying "we don't have a final bill yet." Then everyone could run against democrats by promising to repeal the bill.

I couldn’t agree with you more. Frankly I’d rather see the thing passed then get some kind of watered-down thing that will much easier to slip through the door later when nobody’s watchin. Bearing in mind that our so-called opposition party is too often in the tanning booths and keeping all head hairs in their properly appointed places. Example, so far this morning I saw only one pub out and about on the talk shows. WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS?? Shouldn’t they be on every talk show shooting down this health care thing?

At any rate, once this thing passes, everybody with a heart beat will be jumping on the band wagon and will promise to repeal the thing.

And they will win, yes they will.

It’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

No way! Though the point you make may have some merit a couple of things are bad. First the obvious. Assuming it passes both houses of Congress and Obama signs it, it won't be repealed unless we regain both houses and the presidency, too. Even then the Rats will do everything in their power to keep it in place.

Second, before it goes to the president it has to go to the Senate. One guest (maybe McConnell) said that whatever bill comes out of the Senate would have to go to conference. When it comes back from conference, it only has to be approved by a simple majority of both houses. Since the Rats control congress they will also control the conference committee so the outcome is preordained.
