I've been trying to stay abreast of the health care 'debate' in the Confederacy of Dunces we call the Congress, (thanks, Mr. Kennedy).

That cluster**** couldn't decide which exit to use if the building was on fire.

I cannot blame the Prez for this; He just left them to their own devices,

Exposing them for the histrionic, narcissistic leeches they really are.

We're better off without the DimRats plan anyway.

Hey, HCR was Obama's idea, and a campaign promise. Keep letting him slide and he'll be a one termer.

7. Unless the House really sticks to its guns
   
I'd just as soon most of this gets scrapped. The Senate has made a mess of it and I agree with you, Obama just exposed the Senate for the cluster**** that it is.

8. I'm inclined to disagree. I think we will all WISH it didn't pass.

It's turning into TARP part 2. A windfall for the insurance companies and a screwjob for the rest of us. Except instead of it being a burden on our descendants, we get to pay for it right now, with the IRS as the enforcer. Not to mention what this will do for our popularity as a party. I'd much rather they write the insurance cos a check and leave us out of this. We should wait and try again when we have actual representation instead of corporate sponsored hatchet-men.

70. Yeah, IRS-enforced mandates will go over REAL well with the American people...
   
not just teabaggers.

Not sure what chess move that would be considered...

9. Why can't you blame the Prez?
   
He has provided no real leadership. He took the summer off and would not commit to anything other than a deal with big pharma.

Why did he want the job if he doesn't want to do the job?

Being President is hard !!  He can't blame the health care reform failure on President Bush, so he doesn't know what to do.

Obama showed absolutely ZERO leadership on this issue, which was supposed to be the cornerstone of his presidency. If (when) this bill fails, most of the blame will and should fall on him.

21. Its Obama leadership that we are debating this at all
   
If it weren't for Obama, there wouldn't even be a bill in the Senate to complain about.

When we get healthcare, it will only be because of the great leadership that Obama has demonstrated for the last several years (even before he became President)

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Sorry, stupid, that is, if anything, precisely why you should be blaming the Idiot in Chief - he's not a leader and therefore essentially abdicated leadership on his own conception of healthcare (really, deathcare) reform to the worst elements of the hard-core left in his own party.  Abdication and appeasement are not positive characteristics of a leader, any leader.
