House Passes Health Care Bill - FOXNews.com

Here's hoping that ALL that are up for election next year are history.

Right wing?

Find a credible poll that says most Americans want this.

The entire house is up for election every two years.

I would pick a republican who voted for the bill over a democrat who voted against. It is the sensible thing to do. But, I don't expect you to get it.

12.00 extra a mth is not worth the extra we are going to be paying for this healthcare bill and cap and trade and if we still smoked we would be in the hole

Average saving is 1200 per year. And there are 6-7 other tax cuts which you can take advantage of. Like I said its the largert tax cut in US history.

That would be impossible, because you've already presumed that any poll that disagrees with your partisan position isn't credible.

I people which will have to worry most are the 39 Democrats who voted no. Not only will their Democratic base feel woozy and unmotivated they are also most likely in conservative districts where the right wing machine is in full force.

If my rep has a Green Party challenger, I'll probably vote for the Green Party candidate.
I wish my rep would have supported H.R. 676

Kunich will probably be safe.
He was for single-payer.

I would gladly donate to his reelection campaign. He fought the good fight.

Supporting single payer is great ( would), but when you side with people who would vote against even public option (much less single payer) and the corporatists/lobbyists pushing hard for the reform to fail, then you're a self defeating ideologue.
