WASHINGTON Given hardening Republican opposition to congressional health care proposals, Democrats now say they see little chance for the minority's cooperation in approving any overhaul, and are increasingly focused on drawing support for a final plan from within their own ranks.
Top Democrats said Tuesday that their go-it-alone view was being shaped by what they saw as Republicans' purposely strident tone against health care legislation during this month's congressional recess, as well as remarks by leading Republicans that current proposals were flawed beyond repair.
The White House spokesman, Robert Gibbs, said of Republican lawmakers, "Only a handful seem interested in the type of comprehensive reform that so many people believe is necessary to ensure the principles and the goals that the president has laid out."
The Democratic shift may not make producing a final bill much easier. The party must still reconcile the views of moderate and conservative Democrats worried about the cost and scope of the legislation with those of more progressive lawmakers determined to win a government-run insurance option to compete with private insurers..........

I am so angry these marxist acting like they are in some third world country with the authority to dictate what every American is going to do.
I hope America is so POed at these people they won't win again for a century!
Actually I got the year wrong. It was 1988 and it was the Medicare Catastrophic Health Care Plan. Here’s a link to a article about it written at the time of the Hillary Clinton plan: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1316/is_n3_v25/ai_13563875/
First and only time in all of recorded history that a nation of individuals asserted itself as superior over its government. It was a unique historical event.
If by some miracle Obama was led to threaten a veto....
I live in Maine. On this issue, they are virtual Democrats.
I know,I know.Just shaking my head here.

car chase. Their tires are blown, smoke is pouring from the
engine, and theyre trying to beat a locomotive barreling
down the tracks 100 ft. in front of them. **

LOLOL!!!
You painted that picture PERFECTLY in my mind, lol!
Where have you been the last 44 years? All those presidents have had their legislative agenda. It’s been along long time since GW walked down to the house and just sat in and listened.
What was the French Revolution?
Isn’t that the one were the guy had the Seniors jumping on his car and chasing him down the road?
That protest was organized by someone who works for Pelosi now (if I am remember the details of the story right)
No. They don't. The plan covers illegals. :(
Remember when the media used to lecture that Americans LOVE a split government. They don’t like to have one party control everything. Of course that was before 2008.
In 2010 they will be shown the door.
I wish it was only the imbeciles who voted for him that had to pay for this and all the rest to come.
Drudge DOES have a sense of humor! Good headline / pic.
Amen.
There will be Pubbie Traitors.....
Count on it..!!
** This smells like Reconciliation is afoot.
The Left will happily burn the Constitution
to destroy this country. **

Yep, so sad.
Mark Levin says the “Blue Dog” Democraps are
gonna be under a lot of pressure now. There
are enough of them that THEY could stop this,
if Levin is correct. And he usually is.
I dunno. I was up in the NJ/NY area during 9/11. NOTHING else mattered, we were of one mind.
We might be a bunch of rowdy siblings, but, when we get hit, or are uniting to beat up the bully who is picking on our siblings (this time the senior siblings we have), it is a mighty force. I am not ready to count that out yet, we just need a seperating of wheat and chaff. It is long overdue, and the threshing floor is beckoning..
