We now can clearly see who votes for what and what they stand for!

That's important to know for the future.

In the end liberals will be responsible for the death of Obamacare and for what liberals call "killing of people" due to no insurance!

More people than before Obamacare will be stuck wit no insurance!

Thanks to Obama, Pelosi, Reed, etc. and of course some Republicans who never were able to deal with loss of becoming the Presidency and will do anything to hurt this President!

Liberals will have to live with their own health care bill to die over the next few years.

I thought the same thing. Heller voted to take health coverage from millions. He's the weakest up for re-election. He voted yes for nothing. A lot of Republicans in the house said the same thing. They voted for a "mean" bill for nothing and now they are on record.

Time will show you and your hard-headed friends. Liberals were right all along. Mark my words.

And yet, "liberals" have no power to stop anything. Do tell, why don't you blame the people from the R party who voted negatively?

On the toilet paper where they will soon get the consideration they deserve.

Murkowski, Collins and McCain have nothing to be ashamed of, and they didn't have anything to hide, either.

They were all simply representing their constituents. All 3 are from states where Obamacare is the first regular care many of their citizens have ever had, and they now depend on that care for their and their family's health.

John McCain wanted the health care issue to be voted on in every way possible. The vote-a-rama was the fastest and most efficient way to wade through the thicket of competing and contradictory bills. This issue has clogged the Senate, which has a lot of pressing business still awaiting. One in particular, raising the debt limit, cannot wait for much longer, or the government will be shut down again.
McCain got what he wanted; a full hearing on them all. When the last bill solution didn't suit him, he voted against it.

Demanding repeal for so many years was a big mistake. Over that time, the voters who didn't like the idea of national health care came to love it once they tried it. Opinions have changed now.

It happens. Things change, and mistakes are made. The best thing the party can do is drop it until the GOP can come up with beneficial improvements to the law and move on until those improvements are fully developed.

It is obvious that the law demands careful study and preparation to work out how to fix it's weak spots, not a half-baked effort that only threatened the health and lives of millions of insured voters by cutting them out. The Republicans can do that all on their own, if they find the will and accept that their old opposition is no longer valid.

Don't try to blame the Democrats. There were none who would ever be willing to throw out one of their own President's greatest achievements. If the law was passed by a Republican President, you would not expect any Republican to throw it out.

Not True !!!
Many have recognized the willingness of some in the GOP to be democrats. They have proved it repeatedly.

I have absolutely no problem with a person doing what they believe to be right versus blind partisanship. It is neither "republican", nor "democrat" to serve the best interests of the majority of the populace. It is a politicians ONLY function to serve the majority, regardless of party affiliation.
