Glad to hear it, but it's one thing to say you're "prepared" to take a strong stand, then find a reason to "compromise" in the name of "bipartisanship." I'm concerned some GOPers may jump ship on the premise a bill with the symbolic, easily removed Republican ideas is "half a loaf."

LOL!!
The Republicans need to delay things long enough so that Congress can face the American people during their Spring break.
The Senate Pubbies better grow a big pair before this gets to the floor. They’re gonna need’em.
It is my understanding that under Reconcilliation, they can continue to offer endless amendments and tie up the Senate indefinitely.
Screw the collegial stuff - I’d rather hear, “We refuse socialism, it’s NOT what this great country is about. We will fight to protect America from ANOTHER tax burden they can not afford. Uncle Sam can’t manage a postal service - we sure as hell are not going to allow a takeover of your healthcare. We are sickened by the prospect of those tax dollars funding abortions. Americans have spoken, it’s about time Barry and his party start to listen. Oh yeah, and Harry, meet me by the bike rack after school...”

Yeah sure; we’ve been hearing from the beginning that the health care plan as proposed by the WH is DOA, has no chance, will die before a vote etc etc - yet, here we are. When it comes down to it, most Repubs run away like screaming school kids.
Reminds me of the orchestra in the last moments before slipping under the waves...
