Cut the thread! Looks like calling our reps. and senators still might do some good. Emphasis on might. The Dems don't seem to give a rip what we the voters want. But it's worth one last effort to kill this beast.

So what is the difference between public option and the term they are now going for ..... national exchange??

Health care reform is "hanging on by a thread,"

And the dems who wrote it should be hanging by a rope. JMHO

[clintonh8r]

Chris Dodd...yeah, I'll believe him.

I wasn’t aware of this Exemption from Obamacare were you?

HEALTH REFORM: People with religious objections can opt out Federal health care reform will require most Northern New Yorkers — but not all, it turns out — to carry health insurance or risk a fine. Hundreds of Amish families in the region are likely to be free from that requirement.

Don’t trust the democrats. They will do anything and say anything to get their way.

[Gaffer]

As liberals are predisposed to do, they should take a
coathanger to it.

[Cicero]

I read the article, but I’m unsure what Dodd’s intentions were in making this curious statement. He still won’t admit that the reason it’s hanging by a thread is that it’s a truly destructive bill that a large majority of the people strongly oppose.

[Made In The USA]

If the legislation is ‘hanging by a thread’ I think that just means that another Democrat hasn’t been promised his payoff yet.

I’ll try a few more calls though.

Yes, I think it is certainly worth continuing to fight this monstrosity.

Ubama needs to make a decision, and soon.

Ubama can either get out in front of the health care debate and proclaim that, “I have decided that I cannot sign a health care bill that has no bipartisan support. A major undertaking of this importance deserves input and ideas from all sides.” Etc. He will do this only after breaking arms, shooting kneecaps, and threatening families, and ONLY if he knows the current bill is doomed, and he will do this in order to put himself high above the “petty bickering and rancor”. He will endeavor to project magnaminity and good common sense. ...A President for ALL the people, not just the Democrats.
Etc.

But if he waits until congressional leaders pronounce the bill dead, he takes the hit.
Then, it is Ubama who is the failure.

This will be an interesting few weeks leading up to Ubama’s SotU teleprompter extravaganza.

They pull this crap everytime they are going to vote.

Dodd says this to give us a warm fuzzy so we’ll quit calling.

He’s lying...again.

[USNA74]

But Dodd, who is retiring this year, said it's an issue that needed to be dealt with — otherwise it would "strangle our economy," he said.

Oh - so now we're worried about issues that "have to be dealt with". . .where the heck was he when Bush was trying to deal with Social Security -- that will also strangle our economy, and very likely much sooner than health care ever will.

[Brouhaha]

Times are tough but I would definitely be willing to contribute a pair of scissors to the cause.

If this abomination fails, we should all recognize that a miracle has taken place and thank God Almighty.

[headstamp 2]

Praise the Lord and pass the scissors!

[ColdOne]

I do not believe a word he says!!

[Tzimisce]

It’s been “hanging by a thread” since they put the first sentence on a page.

And yet, here we are. :)

[Charles Martel]

"If this is all about surviving politically, then we're missing the whole purpose of what we're supposed to be doing," (Dodd) said.

That's rich, coming from a guy who is retiring solely because his replacement will have a better chance at political survival.

[nina0113]

Pass the scissors.
