The one thing the GOP could NOT do is give the asshat the floor for 6 hours for an infomercial which would do two things: allow Odummy to blame the GOP for any problems and for him to again push his party to move his program forward into law.
I agree, this is not the best battle field for the GOP but from what I understand, both the house and senate GOPers heading up there will speak with one voice. That maybe why Odummy tried to get Snowe to attend because she was not invited by the leadership as they know she is a weak sister. They know it and Odummy knows it too.
The first point the GOP should make is while the whitehouse thought it important to try to get Snowe into the meeting, they did NOT invite any hourse or senate members who happen to be members of the doctors caucus. It should be apparent to anyone the irony of discussing a medical bill while excluding any subject matter experts. The point to made by that is the bill is POLITICAL, nothing more.

I have felt all along that this “health care” bill is just a pretty wrapper for CONTROL. It has nothing to do with health care reform.
Olympia Snowe said she was not going to attend. I say good for her
