| What world does Ed Schultz live in? Does he still not get it? |
|
U can add to something bad later. But u can't add to nothing. He makes it seem like this is easy. The bill is crap, but at least u can probably add things later. It sounds like he wants to wait on the chance of getting more progressives next yr and then do health care.
Yeah, thats a good plan :sarcasm:

and ends the Democratic party, and its agenda for the next 3 years or not.
In fact, he probably gets more listeners when Democrats are not in the oval office.
Also, he has health coverage cause he works for General Electric.

| 4. Ed has been steadfast on getting something passed. He often speaks of the 100s of dollars... |

...it costs each month for his and his wife's coverage.
He has the most progressive Democrats on all of the time and supports them against conservative mouthpieces.

Though I'm not completely convinced either. But anything that makes Michelle B's head explode can't be all bad.

That's insane.
Isn't he the one who said Dems were going to have their ass handed to them in 2010?

| 11. It CAN be - but WILL it be? |

An ineffective plan which shows few results at great expense will be a showcase for the Repubs to run against.
But sure, lets get a weak-assed, watered down plan coming out of the house BEFORE it goes to the senate for reconciliation, where half the few good things in it will be stripped out.
Yeah, that's a good plan.
