Poll: Most Americans want more GOP support on health care:
http://www.usatoday.com/news/usaedition/2010-01-21-poll-health-care_N.htm

WASHINGTON — A 55% majority of Americans say President Obama and congressional Democrats should suspend work on the health care bill that has been on the verge of passage and consider alternatives that would draw more Republican support, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds.

The findings underscore the unsettled prospects for health care legislation — which has consumed much of the capital's attention for nearly a year — in the wake of Republican Scott Brown's upset victory in the Massachusetts Senate race Tuesday. When sworn in, he will give Republicans the 41st vote they need to sustain a filibuster and block action.

1. Process over policy.
That's what happens when most people don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

2. Most people are ignorant.
There is no way to get bi-partisan support when the other side says they want NOTHING!

4. while I advocate killing the Senate bill
anything that involves MORE republican support would be worse.
They need to find a way to push through something BETTER than the Senate bill.
