Has there ever been a bigger joke than the current Speaker of the House?

If you start with nothing, and demand 100 percent, then compromise for 30 percent, then you are 30 percent ahead,” Alinsky wrote.
In selling an item, you ask for more than you actually want, so you give the buyer ‘leeway’ in negotiating the price. Knowing all along you would have taken less to start with. Obama does that on ALL issues. We are outraged at ‘how much’ they are asking and demanding. All the while he didn’t really want ‘all’ he was asking for, just part of it. Or 30%. He still wins. WE NEED TO SAY LEAVE ALL OF HEALTHCARE ALONE. Remember he only wants to get his foot in the door. He knew all along he would not ‘immediately’ be able to takeover all of the healthcare system. But in ‘increments’.....he’s not looking for the total takeover, oh, if he got great,but he wasn’t expecting that. He just wants the FIRST increment to the government takeover of healthcare.

Incrementalism. It’s all about incrementalism. And our side relaxing after battles and letting our guards down.

Everyone on FR should read your post. They are like cancer and slowly seep in. The GOP needs to say NO to anything they propose that is not 100% market oriented and 100% has tort reform.

RINO scum like McCain better not thrown the Dem vermin a lifeline.

Whether Penis pinching Pelosi knows it or not, she is going to blamed for the entire fiasco and be thrown under the bus.

Her fellow Dems are going to take away her big plane in a coup. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving witch.

Nantzi Pelosi wiffled at the end of that statement. She said UNLESS someone comes up with a better idea.
bam is going to pull something vague and shady out of his shiny new suit. Beware a muslim bearing “truth” and “clarity,” because you will get neither.

Never. Pelosi is the biggest joke ever. By the way, her last name Pelosi means "hairy" in Italian. Nancy is indeed hairy.

“Completely agree. They are history.”

Unfortunately, if this passes - the damage will be done. It will be extremely difficult to “undo” it.

Also . . .

Whether or not there is a public option is only of minor significance for the general public. (big difference if you’re an insurance company)

HR 3200 still mandates all private sector policies to be virtually identical, and they be purchased only through the Federal Insurance Exchange. The HR 3200 mandate that all people must buy one of these Government designed plans makes it rather inconsequential that it’s being technically underwritten by a “private sector” company.
