HOUSE DEMS polling on ROBUST PUBLIC OPTION support

[polichick]

EMAIL FROM DEMOCRACY FOR AMERICA:

"The Washington D.C. insider, The Hill, reports congressional leaders representing the Progressive, Black, Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander Caucuses are polling every single House Democrat right now to see how many votes they have for a robust public option -- not just any version of a public option, the strongest most robust version with rates tied to Medicare.

It's critical that the House pass the strongest public option possible, not just because it's good policy. It will also give House leaders important extra leverage when House and Senate bills are merged during conference committee before a final bill gets a full vote.

We need to call our members of Congress today -- RIGHT NOW."

1. I have called Crassly 3 times. Do you think it makes any difference?

2. this was a set up from the start

Did Obumble put the bailouts for his rich corporate friends out on the town hall circuit to die? Did he start with single payer? This whole deal was a Rahm scam and as usual we dems fell for it. This party doesn't get a dime from me ever again. From now on I give to the guys who can get it done, not the losers who talk a great game but who always epic fail when its crunch time. Don't feel bad you are demoralized. This was by design.

3. maybe you should leave then...

since this website is for folk who are dedicated to seeing better Democrats win elections.

What "guys who get it done" are you talking about?

:shrug:

5. So because I don't agree with you

I must not be a "real" dem, right? You worshipers make me puke.

The guys who get it done are the ones who remember their promises AFTER election day. My favorite is Rep Weiner right now, but there are many many good ones who will always get my time or money. Kooch, Bernie Sanders, Russ Feingold, Maxine Waters, et al.

6. In all fairness, your first post was vague

It sounded like you were abandoning the Dems for a third party

4. Probably not with that guy. nt
