29. You "still billers" out there need to understand that the President
Edited on Thu Dec-24-09 12:15 AM by BP2

will be harmed far worse if this bill does NOT make it through Conference, than if Barack just puts his foot down,
starts it over again and has Congress do it right to cover all Americans.


Today, when Senate Democrats won the last round of votes before tomorrow's big vote, Reid organized a news conference. He didn't have all 60 Democrat
Senators there with him. Only 54 were present: Senator Byrd wasn't there as he needs his rest, and Senator Akaka seemingly had a prior engagement.

Guess who else wasn't there today with Reid: Senators Lincoln, Landrieu, LIEberman and Nelson. The four Moderates that almost ended HCR in the first place!

Any one of them could change their mind in Conference and then we'd be in for a world of hurt in late January. So would Barack!

As it stands, the other people also in a world of hurt are the millions of Americans who are still without health care, even if these four Moderates
don't change their minds - again.

Kill the Bill, start over, and get it right!
