Sanity -> Pelosi: 'A bill can be bipartisan without bipartisan votes'... (2/28/2010 8:39:35 AM)
SO: If the far left doesn't get EVERYTHING it wants, they are acting in a "bipartisan" manner. [;)] quote: Pelosi: GOP has had its day; confident Dems can come together House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Sunday that Republicans have left their mark on the healthcare bill and should accept that the bill will go forward. "They've had plenty of opportunity to make their voices heard," she said on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday morning. "Bipartisanship is a two-way street. A bill can be bipartisan without bipartisan votes. Republicans have left their imprint."

I think she is saying that it's rather childish to block a bill just because you don't like the editor. Since the debate has been ongoing for months and Republican amendments have been incorporated, there is no reason for anyone to block it other than party politics. Does anyone think the Republican option will make more sense, considering it hasn't been debated at all? Will it look any different, we all know the sticking points so we all know the starting point for any brand new bill, it will look identical but the editor will be called Mr Republican. The majority of people are just bored with the debate.

I don't guess there is much chance at all of San Francisco firing this hag. What does the lineup look like for which Republican will take her gavel after the mid-term?

But then what would we do for entertainment.

Well golly gee Sanity....from where I sit there is little to worry about...as long as your around I will have no shortage of rediculous and surreal entertainment...Thank you!

I'd love to see us have two votes on every issue--one to record the public vote, and one secret ballot. We'd learn what was truly party line and where there's actually consensus.

quote: ORIGINAL: thornhappy Never fails when it comes to female officeholders folks don't like - rag on their appearance. "Hag" encompasses more than just appearance, Thorns. I'm going after her character as well. If I was just going to focus on her looks, I'd have referred to her as a cadaver with expensive make-up. Where, oh where, is that fine line between sexism and inclusion? Somewhere to my left, I'm guessing...

Abortion should be mandatory.

Rich I was hoping the smiley at the end would suffice....I had thought about tagging the whole thing with a "just kidding"....guess I should have [:)]

I think she was saying that along the way ideas from both sides that are part of the discussion can be included in a final bill even though one side eventually withdraws their support over other issues. I thought the hag showed her true partisan stripes with her "that's what they do" comment.

I guess you missed the memo - female politicians are too dainty and fragile to take the same kind of name-calling and verbal abuse that their male counterparts can casually shrug off. http://www.collarchat.com/fb.asp?m=3092819 quote: ORIGINAL: DomImus I think she was saying that along the way ideas from both sides that are part of the discussion can be included in a final bill even though one side eventually withdraws their support over other issues.

Heh so disparaging of pelosi, she must really upset and scare the righties, ...(or is that just reserved for palin threads?)

What does the lineup look like for which Republican will take her gavel after the mid-term? That's the general MO that seems to be. Now Sanity you do understand that if you include some of what the republicans want and they still blindly rail against it they can end up looking even worse in the end? The statement is we are willing to work together to help the country, why aren't you?

Brain -> RE: Pelosi: 'A bill can be bipartisan without bipartisan votes'... (2/28/2010 5:27:54 PM)
Bipartisan is not important. It is only important for losers like you now, who need it to block health care reform. Republicans used reconciliation 16 times to get what they want, like Bush tax cuts for the rich - it's time for Democrats to do the same.
