GIVE IT UP!

I'm fed up wih Barak's bipartisan acquiescence to the Republicans, and the cowardliness of our spineless Democratic Congressmen. He said "Now, bipartisanship depends on a willingness among both Democrats and Republicans to put aside matters of party for the good of the country," and " I've also called for a bipartisan fiscal commission. Unfortunately this measure, which originally had received the support of a bipartisan majority of the Senate and was cosponsored by Senators Conrad and Gregg. Democrats and Republicans, was blocked there." Democrats have failed time after time to stand up to the minority party!

John Boehner said "The house can't pass the health care bill it once passed; the Senate can't pass the health care bill it once passed. Why would we have a conversation about legislation that can't pass?" and wants to start from scratch, as does Mitch McConnell, minority leader. Both have said they'll attend the HCR conference Thursday, but SO WHAT?

Paul Krugman says "The truth, which is obvious from every day's news, is that there is nothing, nothing at all,that Obama could offer - other than switching parties - that would get him any GOP cooperation," and Elliot Spitzer said Friday night "Fundamental reform doesn't come from bipartisanship. And it seems to me bipartisanship has become appeasement. Barak Obama won an election based on a set of principles. Fight for them."

Today Obama presented the White House proposal for the conference, and it did not include the Public Option. It is now time for reconciliation, and fifty-one votes for HCR.

BARAK AND CONGRESS - WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? THE COUNTRY WANTS HEALTHCARE REFORM - I AM DISGUSTED WITH YOUR GUTLESS, SPINELESS, PUSILLANIMOUS REPRESENTATION OF ME!

FIGHT!
