If 99% of Americans & 99% of Doctors Supported a Public Option, Would Max Baucus Change His Mind?

1. Max Baucus has a mind? Who knew?

[rwheeler31]

2. I do not get this guy, does he think in numbers?

[demwing]

3. I say the guy would cave at 99%

not because he has a good bone in his body, but only because he has a "highly developed sense of self preservation"

And ten bonus points to the first person who can name the movie from which I borrowed that quote...

[Liberal Gramma]

4. Only if 99% of his donors favored it.

5. He was just re-elected last fall, he is getting old, this term is his money dance big time

He is dancing to industry to assure a comfy retirement. He is an ass

[CoffeeCat]

6. Baucus isn't beholden to us or to doctors...

He's shilling for the insurance companies, and he doesn't view the healthcare crisis in any other
terms.

The insurance companies bought themselves a Baucus. So Baucus is simply following the orders of
his owners.

[Feron]

7. Any person that has an insurance flunkie write the bill,

isn't a person that gives a damn about other people.

I really do wish that lawmakers would wear uniforms like Nascar.

[Journeyman]

8. Whores don't change simply because public opinion differs from the desires of those paying them. . .

[LeftishBrit]

9. I would assume that the answer is 'only if this threatened his own re-election'

[WatchWhatISay]

10. Only if each and every one of them sent him $$99$$

That'$ what it'$ all about!
