2. The lesson I came away with was we got as many Republican votes with |
|
all the added conservative crap as we would have with a pure Liberal Bill..So do what is right for the country and forget about the whiners.

3. You're leaving out the blue dog dems from your equation. |
|
The more liberal bill that we all wish we had would not have garnered the 216 democratic votes that the current health insurance reform bill did.

6. How many votes did the House Health Care Bill have? |
|
It was way more than 216 and yet we get stuck with the Senate Bill and some Minor adjustments....

7. Yes. And the Blue Dogs in the Senate became as irrelevant as the Republicans with reconciliation |
|
So, wonder where the public option went?

9. You're missing the point of the OP |
|
Dems 2010 = Repubs 1993
There's no way a pure liberal bill would EVER be passed.

it wouldn't have gone through.
(I think it was 220 D to 193 R, though.) OK going back for more coffee, not awake yet. I see you were referring to the rightwards shift of the dem party over recent years, not the # of votes.
But I agree, a liberal health insur reform bill would not have ever passed.

13. "Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained"... |
|
The House Bill was pretty good. It was the Senate that screwed the pooch..A few more Liberal Senators in place of Ben Nelson and Blanch Lincoln and who knows what we may get...

12. In some districts, liberal democrats would not have a chance of election. |
|
My state proudly sent Rep Welch and Sen Sanders and Leahy to Congress, but many more conservative states could never pull this off. Better a blue dog than another representative from the party of NO.
