If Obama caves to blue dogs on public option liberals should tell him they will vote against bill
   
It seems like the administration is doing it's best to accomodate blue dogs and republicans in the health care fight. Well what about liberals and progressives who want and believe in a public option? Can they pass a bill without them? Maybe public option supporters should put pressure on the WH and say no public option then no health care reform bill and Obama will lose. You know a public option could be passed by reconciliation process. The WH is all about "bipartisanship" that it has forgotten that what is best is to produce a strong bill not a weak one.

5. Obama is turning into an even better Republican than Bill Clinton
   
There is no advantage to actual citizens to "reform" that isn't single payer. It's seems the administration just wants to save the present system by tweaking it.

If Obama and the gang had the people behind them on this like DUmmyland claims, they would have drafted, voted on, and signed into law this legislation by now.

Welcome to Earth,United States of America 2009.

You twits do not have the support for your utopian idiocy and that is why it is going nowhere.
Hopefully even a watered down version gets killed too unless or until the 800 lb gorilla in the room of liability and tort reform get added into the mix.

It's depressing to watch stupid people attempt something dangerous that is probably going to end up hurting you, knowing in advance how it will fail, and not being able to do anything about it.

The OP and a couple of people who responded sound like they are auditioning for a Commissar position in the new USSR

I love DUmmies...they go after the simple stuff..ignoring the 800 lb gorilla sitting in the corner......DUmbasses...want to "fix" health care?  dump all the .gov regulations and institute tort reform.
