Me too. I hope they don’t go simply because the American people do not want government run health care.

INHO the word “bipartisan” means one party rule.

Not interested, thank you very much.

Having been thus far excluded from the entire process, logic dictates that any such dialog should start with a clean slate.

Rename, repackage, rewrite it a tad smaller, and sell another pig in a poke.

Tennessee has joined several other states in trying to pass a Health Care Freedom Act. NO COLAs for granny, retired Military or retired fed employees. BIG NEW fees for Tricare for Life retired over 65 Military's secondary health ins. (DOD bill already passed, delayed but goes into effect 2011)

New Dem mantra: Woof, woof eat dog food granny....ala let them eat cake.

My, how refreshing it would be to hear the Republicans say:

Mr. President, a one-half day Healthcare "discussion" isn't necessary, or warranted.

Mr. President, the Congress of the United States is responsible for, and should be fully capable of, determining the content of all laws submitted to you for your signature.

As you well know Mr. President, the Congressional Branch of the United States is separate from, and equal to, the Executive Branch.

Mr. President, we have made it perfectly clear to the Democrat members of Congress that we expect them to halt all of their efforts on both Healthcare bills passed by the Senate and House of Representatives.

Following that action, we are fully prepared to proceed with addressing any new Healthcare bills proposed by the Democrats in the Senate and House, but only if the Democrat leadership is willing to play by all the rules, and to televise ALL proceedings to the American Public through C-SPAN.

Mr. President, Republicans do not require the Executive Branch, nor its supporters in the media, to explain our duties as Senators and Representatives.

Mr. President, we fully understand the U.S. Constitution, and plan to ensure that all laws passed by Congress meet the requirements, and limitations, of the Constitution, before they are ever sent over for your Signature.

Mr. President, we must respectfully say no to your invitation.

However, we cordially invite your Executive Branch designated individuals to participate in normal, and Constitutional, activities associated with any Healthcare bills generated by Congress.

He's been regulated to the back row...by the likes of talk radio hosts..and Tea Party types.

Personally....I've always thought the saying...."Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way"...works pretty good.
