Repubs Have Contributed NOTHING To Health Care Reform, ... Forget Them...
They will never vote for any kind of real healthcare reform plan. They will pretend to be engaged so that they can garner attention, try to confuse the public, and maintain the status quo for those healthcare insurers making billions of $ from the current system.

Face reality... they are the Party of NO.

Take a page from the Teddy Roosevelt Playbook... get it done without them. Break up the big banks and healthcare insurers, and slap some real regulation and investigation on them.

Otherwise, its game over for the rest of us.

And send the message to 'blue dog' democrats that the day is over where they can wear the Democratic tag and represent the interests of those who have corrupted and financially devastated this country. IF they cannot start representing the interests of the people who do not control 90% of the country's wealth, then prepare to be 'busted' to no committee chairs, no Dem Party funding, and other withdrawals that will make their life more difficult.

2. "To My Repub Friends, We Are Through Trying To Negotiate With 'NO'..."
That little ditty announced from the floor of the Senate would undoubtedly result in Repubs walking out in a huff ... and then Democrats can take the floor and announce that Democrats were elected to take action to address the needs of the people, including healthcare reform, and when Democrats pass legislation to do just that please remember who is responsible when they go the polls --Democrats have acted, and Repubs have done NOTHING.
