Baucus to GOP: Time is running out on health (America to GOP, Just say NO!)
msnbc ^ | 9/5/2009 | ap

Signaling it's time for action, the Senate's chief negotiator on a health care bill told his colleagues he won't wait much longer for a Republican compromise.

"I am committed to getting health care reform done — done soon and done right," Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, said in a statement. He is considering making a formal proposal soon to the small group of Senate negotiators who call themselves the "Bipartisan Six."

Baucus, a Democrat from Montana, held a nearly two-hour teleconference on Friday with the other five negotiators from his committee. The group has been struggling for months to come up with an acceptable bipartisan bill.

“I am committed to getting health care reform done — done soon and done right,”

“Soon” are “right” are diametric qualities. Idiots!

Its time to let him know that unless it inclueds tort reform and is reasonable and workable while protecting PRIVATE health care and insurance, the American people don’t want it and we can’t afford it.

Can anybody tell me the difference between Montana's two senators and say Massachusetts's, California's and New York's two senators?

Montana has become Big Sky New York.

In the case of Massachusetts, they recently made an improvement by putting one of theirs 6 ft under. Unfortunately that's only a short term improvement.

I lived there for several yers in the 90s. They always split their delegation then. One conservative and one liberal. You take Missoula, Bozeman, parts of Helena and Great Falls out of the mix (along with other resort and small liberal infested areas) and most of the state and small towns are very conservative. But there is a significant liberal element in those areas of the state too.

I always tell my clients: Good, fast, cheap—You get to choose whichever two you want. The one you don’t choose will be the opposite of the two you do.

“..told his colleagues he won’t wait much longer for a Republican compromise.”

Okie-doke. Fine. DO IT!

Go right ahead force this travesty through. The public outrage and tsunami of the voting public will annihilate you in 2010. Have you seen Baucus’s numbers in Montana lately? Not good at all. Ninety percent of the red and purple districts currently with a RAT repp’ing them will have a brand new GOP Rep. who ran in no small part on repealing this debacle once in office.

Go right ahead. It will ensure ever increasing numbers of GOP in Congress and almost certainly a defeat for B.O. in ‘12. Political suicide, be thy name....

Anyone hear Sen. Grassley on Hannity the other day? All I heard from him was about not supporting a bill without bipartisan support and some mumbling about the American people seeing democracy in action. Hannity didn’t press him but didn’t seem unhappy to let him go.

If this is a conservative Senator...

I usually look for a major university in an area I am unfamiliar with. If there is one, you can bet the surrounding voter base is liberal. One of the reasons Boston is so leftist is that there are 80 colleges within a 20 square mile radius of Boston Proper.
