1. Deem & Pass was a PR disaster

2. I agree. It was like they were hiding doing something that they still were doing.....

making it appear as though they had something to hide,
when instead the only to win in November on this issue
is to stand up and be proud of every vote taken towards
passing this health care bill.

Doing this way actually gives less to the Republicans for November,
especially since the calculation is that this Bill will be
seen more positively than negatively (it's already happening) as time wears on.

3. they obviously have the votes to move forward openly.... nt
