All I can think is that from a strategic point of view, they screwed up by not passing a bill before recess...............The hubris of believing Americans would not rise up has killed this bill.

Here is one to bookmark for later quoting use:

Arlen Spectre promised that he would not vote for any healthcare bill or legislation that included healthcare coverage for illegal immigrants.

So true!

That said...I have a “bit” of a soft spot in my heart for Arlen. Heard an interview on the Laura Ingraham show and he sounds like a decent, nice guy who has been through a lot with cancer.

And, THAT said...he needs to retire. He made a mess of his political career.

Good bye Arlen...at least you have the nads to show up at a town hall...but it's time to go.

He said it was too vague.

I can't tell if the guy is senile, uniformed, uninterested, flippant,confused or a combination of all of the above. I can't imagine this being good for him in his upcoming election.

EXCERPT

“Well, of course I am,” Mr. Specter said when asked if he’s worried about the conservative backlash. “But (President) John Kennedy had it right. He said, ‘Sometimes the party asks too much.’ And this is something I think is necessary for the country. It goes beyond politics. It goes beyond the Democratic or Republican position. It’s the right thing for America.”

Mr. Specter said he would have supported the package even if Democrats had not added $6.5 billion in additional money for the National Institutes of Health to the final version of the bill.

Mr. Specter had sought the money for years, and had mentioned that he wanted the money in the bill when he met with President Barack Obama last week.

“That’s only one small part ... That’s not determinative in my mind,” he said.

The stimulus vote could create “a political problem,” he said, but “I thought the public interest was so important that I have to take whatever problems it brings me.”

a key Democrat strategy is to strip out of the senate bill anything controversial that the house has already voted for.

Many felt that would be the case:

Excellent question by the baldguy!

Horsefeathers! No preventative care can prevent all chronic illness. Prevent rheumatoid arthritis, Dr Arlen.

Gotta change the Constitution to have a national referrendum.

Interesting idea, but it hasn’t stopped the legislature in California from ignoring the legal decisions of the voters.

This is a debate for a different day, I think.
