"Rep. Mike Ross of Arkansas, speaking for the Blue Dog Democrats on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said

the agreement calls for the panel to begin debating the bill later Wednesday but for no vote by the full House until after the upcoming August congressional recess."

They are living in a bubble, self sustained and reinforced by other delusional birthers and tea baggers. They are unaware that the majority of the country has left them behind. The only reason anybody should pay any particular attention to them is to make sure they don't hurt anybody.

i am not giving up, and i do believe that the next elections will sort it all out. i think the democrats have overstepped their greedy big government demands and i think that americans are seriously tired of it. that and the fact that the economy isn't improving will sink the incumbents.

There is a reason why Dems have not been in real power in the last 30 years. The amnesia will soon wear off.

The agreement is that they will start debating "later Wednesday", but no House vote until everyone's back from recess.

Vote against every incumbent, every time, forever. That's the only way to take our government back from the lobbyists.
