Without this affirmation, we could be tricked into thinking that they are with the people.

Going forward: no matter how much you like people, you can’t cut them slack when they send up trial balloons to see if they can get away with a kabuki vote in the House and then cave on the “meaningful” vote after conference. Because it starts an avalanche of people running for the door, now that the arm twisting has begun in earnest, and it threaten to undermine the whole effort.

Yup.

And this is also why labor’s coming out very publicly and clearly and stating the acceptable boundaries is also so important right now, right here in August.

It seems salient to me now that she commented in a positive way how the PhARMA, AMA, AHIP, have been “supportive” of this reform. So, after a weeks time I have come to see this as “cover” for the Dems to be cautious not to shoot “friendly fire” at those corporate interests. Frankly, I think it will backfire and those same groups will support Republican candidates in 2010.</p> Gwen Moore is a Black Caucus Congressional member from Wisconsin.
