    An a show of absolute arrogance that flies in the face of every democratic principle we live by, the Democrats in Congress has decided to bypass the traditional procedure by which final legislative compromise between the two legislative versions of a the health care bill is achieved. There are no plans to appoint a formal House-Senate conference committee which would involve top leader from both parties. Instead the compromise will be a three-way negotiation between "Democratic" House and Senate leaders and the White House. No Republicans will be invited just as they were not invited to help draft the bill. This piece of legislation is an absolute SHAM!

    While I was not a fan of the bill, and I honestly do not recall the procedure used, I am pretty sure Congress followed normal procedure. If it did not, then it was wrong. One piece of bad legislation does not justify a second.

    Yeah, if prescription drug bill was completely overhauled a sector that accounts for 16% of the country's gdp. This procedure has been done several times but never on something of this magnitude. That is indisputable. If you can't admit that the way the dems have gone about this is partisan and spits in the face of the American people (the majority of which don't like the bill), then you have no credibility with me.

    Do you really think they want everyone to know exactly what they are getting? Or that they spent close to 500 million of their dollars to buy 3 votes so they could pass this steaming pile of rhino crap? They are going to ride this we hate W train until it runs right off the rails.

    Whoa, now. The Dems have told the nation in the last couple of election cycles how dirty and evil the Reps were, and that Dems would do things right. "The most transparent administration in history," BO promised us. Now that the Dems have complete control and are up to the same old tricks, you're going to tell us, shut up and take it? Sounds like there are hypocrites on both sides of the aisle.

    If a single member of Congress gets re-elected this fall, it will be too many.
