1. Even when disagreeing on certain points, even important points to an individual,
there needs to be a broad consensus among Democrats to come together for the good of the Party and to support Democratic ideals.

If the HCR bill fails, then Republicans will hail themselves as the heroes who stopped it. If it passes, then Republicans will paint it as being a terrible bill that Democrats rammed through Congress. Either way Democrats lose, so they may as well get some legislation out of it that will help people.

2. Good for Jim!
We should have an e-mail address for all the Representatives who will vote for the health care bill and send them a "thank you, well done" message, and send those who say "no" a "Wrong decision, please reconsider" e-mail.

3. Good, that's the right thing to do. Better to be on the right side of history.
