yet here is a Democrat representative suggesting that "BRICKS WILL FLY" if they don't get their way.

Yesterday there was discussion about why the GOP is caving in to the healthcare plan just at this moment and after this entire summer of protest.

I wondered whether there is actual physical intimidation or threats of violence against the pubbies.

This quote makes me think I'm right. I hope someone does some investigative journalism on this.

There's a "story" about Republicans caving in ~ there is no evidence that this is so.

Ask yourself, what is it they are caving in to? Is it the massive tax increase hypothesized in the Baucus Plan perhaps?

That's just what you need to get re-elected, right? More taxes, and this time that includes a heafty excise tax on diabetic sugar meters, and tabs, and insulin injection systems.

It's an even more massive tax on heart pacemakers, catheters, colestomy bags (and undoubtedly the HIGHEST POSSIBLE TAX on the special high-tech adhesives that make that system work).

One does wonder what goes on in the minds of politicians who envision bringing America to fiscal soundness by taxing dental floss and surgical sutures.

You must necessarily believe that any Republican who has "caved in" for this nonsense has gone stark raving mad.
