1. If Pelosi and Co. wish to be taken seriously - Read the bills; Debate the bills loudly and publicly. Lets have a full and impartial discussion and analysis of what the bills will cost and whether they infringe on the Constitution. Partisan calls for unity suggest that Representatives work for the party or the speaker, not the people who voted them into office.
2. Stop the crocodile tears over dissent being mean-spirited. Nothing is more mean-spirited than elected representatives stateing they have not read bills that are voted on party lines. We did not elect you, give you DC staff, local staff and offices, and then become a rubber stamp for the national party. This goes for both parties.
3. The double standard over "Civility" is stunning; 8 years of boos in the house and "Chimpy-Bush-Hitler-Nazi" screams from protesters. Now seniors actually want to know how Government health care will affect them at town halls are disruptive? Stop the name calling and actually discuss issues. That is your job. Do it.
4. Medicare, Medicaid are functionally bankrupt. SSA is the biggest Ponzi scheme on the planet. Cash for Clunkers was a boondoggle and now sales are slumping. Given the track record, shouldn't we pick one of above, fix same, and then tackle healtthcare for then entire country?
