Rockefeller is one of the good guys
Edited on Thu Jun-25-09 07:35 PM by DrToast
If anyone is wondering who is actually fighting for us on health care, read this article about Jay Rockefeller:

http://sundaygazettemail.com/News/200906250731


On Thursday, Rockefeller admitted he expects little bipartisan support.

"There is a very small chance any Republicans will vote for this health-care plan. They were against Medicare and Medicaid . They voted against children's health insurance.

"We have a moral choice. This is a classic case of the good guys versus the bad guys. I know it is not political for me to say that," Rockefeller added.

"But do you want to be non-partisan and get nothing? Or do you want to be partisan and end up with a good health- care plan? That is the choice."

8. I agree. A Dem blocking health care is suicide.
