Dem HCR Plan B=bi-partisan talks aborted & parliamentary maneuvers used to force party-line vote

Democrats Prepare Plan B on Health Care

With health care reform sidetracked for another month, ABC News reports Democratic leaders "are quietly preparing for Plan B."

"Under the scenario now being discussed, bi-partisan talks would be aborted and parliamentary maneuvers used to force the bill through with a party-line vote."


Interesting side note: The "Gang of Six" senators involved in bipartisan health care negotiations represent six states with a total of less than three percent of the U.S. population (Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming, Maine, New Mexico and Iowa).

1. I wish they would, but I doubt it. Pukes will NEVER be "bipartisan"
why the hell should we?

2. This Is What has To Be Done, Ma'am. And That Three Percent Figure Must Always Be Borne In Mind
These wretches who claim to represent the will of the people represent no more than three percent of the people of the country. The great majority of the people of the country want exactly what these bought-out shit-heels are striving to prevent becoming law of the land.
