I am sorry, but I think the us in the U.S. have been so bushized in the last 8 years

that we cannot hear a compound sentence and understand it. Bush and his ilk, was good a short pontifications.

Have we become so used to being pontificated to that we cannot hear a complex thought and not get confused.

The President said last month he needed a public option in the bill that comes to his desk. Yesterday or the day before, he states that public option whether it is part of the bill or not is not the central issue. No where did he say he did not want a public option.. Getting a health care bill passed is the central issue, not any one portion of it.

We have to have insurance reform (my brother was denied health insurance on Friday)http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x8590485

There are many important parts to the bills that will be coming forward.

This is a complex issue with complex points coming forward.

Pontification republican style will not work with this.

"I think there’s something perverse in the very strong desire I see among liberals to make problems in congress be about anything other than congress. It’s just not in the power of Barack Obama to make the senate anything other than what it is. To pass a bill, you need sixty votes. To get sixty votes you need Ben Nelson or Olympia Snowe to back your bill. Neither Nelson nor Snowe is especially liberal, and the President doesn’t have a great deal of leverage over either of them. You can try to change the rules, or you can accept that you’re at the mercy of Nelson and Snowe and maybe a few other moderate members."

and demand reform. We have to show them that the American people are behind this bill.. The congress will move to the place it knows the American people are in full support. Our sitting on our hands and whining and not showing the establishment that things really have changed, we will get no where.
