What's sad is that there are a lot of good things in the proposals that don't get any media time. The GOP has taken a "just say no" approach that will work in the short-term but isn't good for the people.

Come election time everybody in Congress will suffer...

Agreed no easy fix but, some interim steps can be taken such as portability of coverage across statelines and tort reform would be a good start.

As for the GOP's just say no approach juxtaposed that with the probable coming losses in Congress being projected coming from the Democratic party... Your statement does not make sense, perhaps to Obamabots. Please explain how such a event is projected to impact the Dems while the GOP is coming in and stopping this wonderful bills passage. You appear to hide/ignore people are fed up with the party in power (Dem or RINO) that is not listening to the will of the people. Last polls had Obamacare around 36% approval that leaves alot of people either against or undecided. Funny how the minority seems to trump the majority but, then everything is assbackwards, up is down, down is up, right is a Nazi, left is Communist.

Keep the Hopey Change shiite going.

And the Tea Baggers don't really have a lot of influence. If anything they're going to elect more dems as they draw GOP votes.

Tea Bagging??? Spence I don't care what you do or how you do it behind closed doors and in dark theatres.

Just answer the original question> How is it that a minority party (GOP) is holidng this wonderful bill up and then why is it projected the Dems are going to be the biggest losers come November if the bill passes?
