A number of Blue Dogs have announced their intention not to seek reelection. So why should they vote with Pelosi when this bill goes back to the House for Reconciliation? When the Democratic Party Headquarters relocated to Chicago did any pundit even mention that with Obama in effect running the party that these kind of threats could be commonplace? I like Nat Hentoff but the alarm bells should have gone off when this was done.

A Senator or Rep. can just as easily look Ommanuel in the eye and say "go ahead, make my day" as they can be scared and bow down. At this point in time Ommanuel have not as much clout as Jan/Feb. o9 and it seems to be dissipating rather rapidly. so the threats seem pretty empty to me. But then, I am not a whore for political power either... well I come back to the point I made in the original post, and that is that a President who is low in the polls has no political clout. he can huff and puff and threaten all he wants, but unless he has The People behind him, where to the threats ultimately lead?

Right on the mark! It is all about them; it is not about us. Amazing that we can be in such economic peril and the congress fiddles around in DC while we burn. Those on the left and the right so disillusioned and upset with what is happening must come together to overthrow this mess.

I am believing that, more than anything else, this healthcare fiasco will create a Republican tsunami in the next two elections and a close to permanent minority status for Democrats. The effect of this Tea Party Movement will be devastating to Democrats who apparently are completely politically tone deaf.

They knew the mood of the country was for <strong>health insurance reform </strong>so they went through this distraction/dance while they slowly but surly, through the use of judas goats, to the mandatory law. They did this rather then allow us into the discussion on the pros/cons and ramifications of mandatory health insurance. I think one of the things <strong>WE</strong> would have insisted on was interstate competition. I believe the people who are telling us that this is the bill they wanted all along

I am a fan of Masterpiece Theatre, many of whose presentations are set in an era of English classism. Class was everything and one didn't cross class lines and it occurs to me that our government's obsession to separate us is actually along those same lines. It's a not so gentle push at the moment, but I can see within Congress, the same disdain for the common man (the voter). It's not a stretch to see that those in the WH and Congress have it in their heads that they are smarter than us, more worldly wise, and that they are our 'caretakers'. We're just to hickish to know what is best for us! Personally, I didn't vote for anyone to be my lord or overseer. I voted for that person to represent MY wishes and when I see that that vote has no meaning in their eyes, I will work hard to cast that person out. Every one of us needs to consider this and guard our vote jealously against it being taken away from us, either by a lack of involvement or theft by an Acorn type organization. We only have one chance. We need to keep score. The growing acrimony in this country, led by that in our government, seems to be heading us in a dangerous direction.
