WASHINGTON – A bipartisan group of senators is closing in on a health care compromise that omits key Democratic priorities but seeks to hold down costs, as lawmakers on both sides of the Capitol labor to deliver sweeping health legislation to President Barack Obama.

This stinks of betrayal.

Don’t ~we~ get 5 days to read the “new” version?
We’re supposed to, according to Mr Transparency.

[Salamander]

“Relax”?!?

What does *that* word mean?

I’ve completely forgotten.

Seriously.

[Salamander]

That’s just the lingering stench of January, 2009 blowing downwind.

Anytime I read “bipartisan” and “senators” in the same sentence, I get worried.

Take a wild guess who the three are? I haven’t read the story but would venture two of them are females from the Northeast.

[lt.america]

I wouldn't tar them all with the same brush. Saw Kyl speaking this weekend and I think he is pretty much tracking with what needs to be done.

Jan Schakowsky is one of the ultra libs. She’s in the cat bird seat. Her constituents range from the uber-liberal
NU town of Evanston, the old line democrats of Skokie, the guilt ridden (the Oh so shee-shee) North Shore and the welfare army of uptown Chicago. She is secure.

The only alien thing in this socialist enclave is the American flag.

Letters to the Editor in yesterday's Post (not digging Barry's Deathcare):

********************************************************
I have already been cured by ObamaCare. I am a recovering Democrat and am immediately switching to the Republican Party.

If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, then baffle them with bull.

Enough is enough of this used-car salesman's efforts to conceal his real agenda.

These are the states that allow the recall of Senators...

No. State Senators, yes.

US Congress Senate members are immune from recall, period.

[Son House]

Well, $700 billion dollar bail-out, The (not)!Stimulus Bill, Omnibus spending bill, this Congress will pass every piece of bad Democrat legislation,

Health Care, Amnesty, Hush Rush to follow. They feel all powerful, and are going to continue in their ways.

[ExSoldier]

Big flipping deal. House version still has to pass and Stempy says there ain't no way.

Agreed and moreover, the two versions have to return to the conference committee to reconcile the differences before the House and Senate vote on that "final" version....

[DainBramage]

Yes but even a small victory before recess make Obama look victorious.

Translated: We stayed up all night waiting for a big story and got nothing to show for it but this headline.

[Man50D]

This story just broke at approx 3:20AM EDT.

The story broke last night. People need to contact their Senators demanding the bill be voted down in its entirety. The bill needs to be scrapped. No compromises. Toll free capital switchboard numbers are below.

Yeah, but Obie’s victory could spell defeat for many who support this garbage.

[tobyhill]

***After weeks of secretive talks, three Democrats and three Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee were edging closer to a compromise that excludes a requirement many congressional Democrats seek for large businesses to offer coverage to their workers. Nor would there be a provision for a government insurance option, despite Obama’s support for such a plan, officials said.***

So Medicaid will have its rolls increased by 40 million, including 20 million illegals. I guarantee everyone who pays taxes will see an increase. It may not be shown in in the Federal Tax part of a paycheck but it will be in that little part that says Medicare.

Republofascists helping the Obamafascists Nationalize our health care.

BTW- NAZI was German slang for Nationalize business.

[Harrius Magnus]

“NO government run healthcare.”

You mean “NO MORE” as we already have ample...
