Republicans now complaining about the shape of the table at health care summit (Representatives, lobbyists)

After further research, I found another reason why the Repubs have been bickering over the table setup. It seems they don't want to be sitting in a position where cameras can see their faces. Although, their NOs will be heard, they don't want the American people to be able to associate a face with those NOs. That face association thing is very important in politics, which is the only thing the Repubs concern themselves with.

NO, on the contrary, the republicans will be proudly saying no-and would love to have their faces shown- they have to make sure the Insurance companies know that their lobbyist money was well spent in trying to take down any real health care reform-

Actually, you may have a point there.

Its a shame that the insurance companies have given more money to Democrats than Republicans. There goes your argument...

Here is another suggestion for chair arrangement- have one of those acrobat teams balance all of the Congressmen in their chairs up in a big pyramid- then they can all crash down ina pile while we all watch, as the health care system tumbles down into the toilet due to their BS partisanship-

Not really, if you're gonna buy Congress you give the $$$ to those who control it, and that sale's been on for many years now

Yes I know.. it was another poster who proclaimed that money is going to Republicans.. Do I need to inform posters here who controls Congress? As you admitted, the money buys who controlls Congress, thereby proving the OP incorrect in his whine about Republicans being bought..

Would this be the very same bs partisanship which caused you a minute ago to ignore facts when you proclaimed Republicans were being bought by the insurance companies, when indeed its Democrats received the most money recently?

There is a reason after all the insurance companies are supporting a UHC plan.. MORE CUSTOMERS.. If you dont understand how this means more customers for the insurance companies, then you havent educated yourself enough on the plan to be qualified to speak about something as little as the arrangement of the chairs..

It doesn't matter, Congress was sold a long time ago to corporate interests and has remained so regardless of which party controls it, differnt sides of the same coin.

The only difference lately is do we choose those who would waste money building other countries or those who would waste money building our own?

I looked at the pictures in that article of the proposed seating and the agreed upon seating.

It seems to me that it is best for everyone to be seated together at the same table.

That is what we're hoping to accomplish.

I guess they have to complain about something.
