Let's not forget what this is about and get the nation on track for health care that works.
The Republican plan for health care reform is always reactionary and always a focus on preserving profits at the cost of quality care. Americans need to stop shooting themselves in the foot. The 'push' by the Republicans 'this time' is an attempt to 'revive' The Contract with America mess that lead to an uptick in Republicans elected to Congress following the election of Former President Bill Clinton and ultimately the election of 2000 and the disasterous Bush/Cheney Administration.
Basically, THEY ARE DOING IT AGAIN !!!
The Republicans haven't been able to stop their slide on the slippery slope, health care is a basic concern to every American and where their scare tactics work. Don't do this again. Stop being scared of CHANGE. It is going to go well and the nation will be better for it.
The attack on the Health Care Reform Bill is all about 'playing the odds' that are validated by 'historical data.' It isn't about whether the Health Care Reform Bill is important or not, for the Republicans it is about getting their members back into Congress. They will take ANY topic and oppose it whether or not is is important to oppose it.
The longer the Republicans prolong the Health Care Reform Bill the better 'chance' they have in having more Republicans in Congress and defeating it entirely. Get over it America, this is necessary and best for the country, no different than the Energy Bills and the Carbon Dioxide Control measures. It is time and we have a President willing and ABLE to get it done right.
Michael Steele is a liar without a plan, except, one to delay the need for reform and change.
In June (click title to entry - thank you), the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee raised $7.1 million versus $3.1 million for the National Republican Congressional Committee. The NRCC had announced receipts of $7.2 million from a VIP-studded fundraising dinner last month, but much of the money was in pledges yet to be collected.
Since World War II, the party in the White House has lost an average of 16 House seats in midterm elections held two years into a new presidency. The GOP would need 40 to overtake the Democrats, who now have a 256-178 majority. Getting there is improbable, but not impossible. In 1994, starting from a similar deficit, Republicans picked up 54 seats.
For the Republicans, it is all about 'playing the odds.' For nervous Democrats is it about surviving the 'odds' and dealing with 'nervous voters.'
It is time to 'get it done!'
