Wonder why they haven’t seen fit to include that kind of question? heh. can't disturb the carefully crafted narrative.

I, to, find it disturbing that Jane has had her teeth knocked out by the cynical House Bill. She has nort yet found her feet and time is wasting to oppose the gorging of a true PO.

But does anyone see the current dysfunctional monstrosity that is Congress working to make it better or worse?

simple answers to simple questions.

no.

out gov appears to be broken. legislation involving the FIRE industries does not go through congress with the goal of benefiting the citizens.

thanks letsgetitdone. re the first part of your comment, i have no idea what’s going on re that issue. but that’s been the case now for over a year. just trying to contribute in as positive a way as i know how, even if that is mostly dissent.

re defeating the bill. if it’s your position that the bill ought to be defeated, i don’t think it matters, from the pov of deciding what action to take, if the bill can be defeated. because even if it isn’t defeated, by opposing it you have distanced yourself from something you think will be a failure or hated by the public. if you don’t opposed it, then why should the public ever trust your advice with healthcare reform? my 2 cents anyway.

about not giving a damn?

thanks for the rj eskow slinky linkie. not to freak you out or anything, but i think rj is wrong. from what i can tell, romneycare is mostly better than what’s coming out of congress! (and i live in MA).

yeah, i think jane was mistaken re the polling data. but, of course, am always happy to be corrected and learn something new if it’s me who is mistaken.

Hi hipparchia, Thanks for the run-down. I’ve observed that too. I don’t know what a national poll would cost these days. But, I think Daily Kos commissions polls frequently. Wonder why they haven’t seen fit to include that kind of question?
