Reply #27: True, they put the progressive between a rock and a hard place [View All]

Fight for a bill that leaves most of us worse off or no better off than before or give the Republicans a talking point. If this administration had come out and fought for us instead of the insurance and pharmaceutical companies and then had to compromise, somewhat, they would have earned our respect and we would have forgiven them for failing to get the best reform through. Strangling the measures which were real reform in their cradle? Not an indication of great moral courage, to me.
