Have Lieberman, Nelson, et al. compromised on ANYTHING on HCR?
Edited on Wed Dec-16-09 01:23 PM by Bleacher Creature
Serious question. We all know the many compromises progressives accepted to go from single-payer to nothing, but was there any give and take at all? Anything?

2. they don't really need to. Old adage: when your enemy is hanging themselves, no need
to tug on the rope.

in other words, the entire democratic congress majority capitulated without a shot being fired. So why would there be a need for a compromise?

4. Fair point. We ultimately compromised among ourselves.
Pathetic.
