The America of their youth, where women stayed at home and couldn't vote, where Jim Crow was the law of the land and Negroes stayed in their place........yes, what a vibrant country America was.

They know that the gravy train they have been on for over a decade is coming to an end! They sold their souls to the isurance, drug companies and the defense contractors and they are now going to be accountable. They will now have to do what is right for their constituants instead of their own self interest.

They feel helpless because they don't have, and haven't had, a single idea that would actually serve to benefit America since...........since when, I don't know.
Good post; in complete agreement; the GOP's "big idea" to reforming health care was to provide "portable insurance" ( i.e. a MA resident getting his insurance coverage from BC/BS of Arizona, etc); the same stuff they've trotted out for years, etc.

They were never serious, or enthusiastic, about reforming health care. The status quo was just fine with them.

Thankfully, Obama had other ideas.

yea, the Cincinnati of John Boehner ... where they are afraid of Robert Mapplethorpe pictures and Larry Flynt. Oh, and there's a swell museum about creation there.

Who said democrats arent but you are assuming that every single democrat wants this bill also.

Majority of this country wanted them to start over.

Orange John Boner has always looked like he just suffered a diarrhea accident in his pants ever since the American people voted by a landslide, President Obama into office. Is Orange John going to move to Costa Rica with the big fat drug addicted load from the radio?
