If they are just shining us on, it will cost them even more dearly in the general election.

Let's hope they've got their heads out of their asses and actually do the right thing.

1. Heres where our weak leadership in Congress earns their money
No, not their Congressional pay, I mean the money they'll make from the insurers after they lose reelection because they refuse to let a PO into the reconciliation bill.

THAT is where the real money in todays politics is made.

2. It looks like a ploy to dodge accountability.
It's back and forth, and it doesn't make any sense.

3. Maybe they are trying to keep the Repugs off balance so they can't
get their act together to combat the final bill?

None of this has made any sense for the last couple of days. Perhaps Obama is playing basketball with the HCR and showing them his feint before he hits them with a slam dunk.
