re: #177 Desert Dog

Drowning out the other side with noise is not healthy and it is un-American, no doubt.

But, where is this “debate” you speak of? There is no debate here…we are being told from on high what will we be getting. A debate usually requires give and take, compromise, expression of opinions…The only time the Dems slowed down is when the BlueDogs started barking…then and only then did the steamroller slow down. But, that was a mere speed bump.

How are people on my side of the aisle supposed to react to this kind of statement from the White House?
Obama Promises health overhaul, with or without GOP

The Dems have been making noises about using “reconciliation” in the Senate to get around the 60 vote obstacle, so it could get rammed through whether we like it or not. The thing is, once this thing starts to get implemented, how do you reverse it?
