#3 love to have more Republicans engaged and involved in this process," but he vowed to win the battle, with or without support from the minority party in Congress.

That reminds me of the joke about a football team so bad when their opponent walked off the field because they thought the game was over, four plays later they scored.

#4 1. The Trunks aren't leading. At best they're following.

2. Someone who famously declared in a bi-partisan meeting "I won" isn't the least interested in any engagement except submission.

3. As long as Obama and his follows spend their time unable to identify their real opponents on the issue the less likely they'll ever achieve their goal and, through their actions, only increase the opposition.

4. When the populous rises up, it's not a conspiracy - vox populi, vox dei. You can't see the real prairie fire because of your own artificial astroturf existence.

#5 Maybe I'm missing something here, but don't the Democrats have the numbers to pass anything they want without Republican support? Clinton didn't have both the House and Senate like Obama does, if memory serves me correctly.

#7 The opposition to ObamaCare is more bi-partisan than anything Zero can dream of.

#8 A good many of the Blue Dogs can't abide the half-assed bill or the so called "nuclear option." If Barry had them all on board, or a few republicans he'd throw the switch, no doubt about it. I think he is buggered!

#9 2008: Republicans are incompetent, stupid, bumbling and fuddy-duddy fools

#10 donks are between the devil and the deep, blue sea. On one hand they have their constituents telling them not just no but HELL NO! On the other hand they have the unions and their leadership telling them they will be out of office after the next election if they don't pass health care reform. Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of idiots.

#12 Conservative airways? But, but, but I thought they were a part of the vast right wing Republican conspiracy.

More Alice in Wonderland talk from Washington.

#14 Obama -- boldly leading where few want to follow.

#15 I note Winston Churchill: "the duty of the opposition is to oppose."

Of course the Republicans are opposing Obama. It's what they're supposed to do.

The Dhimmicrats have the White House, a 40 vote majority in the House and a filibuster proof majority in the Senate, and they still can't get anything done.

Obama's problem isn't the Republicans. It's the Democrats.

#16 #15 yep. Of course, if they do get something done, they're not going to have a lot of places to hide in 2010. I bet half of them wish Spector hadn't flipped.

#17 The "vast right wing conspiracy" raises its head again.

Hint: in a debate, there is another side that contends with your views.

There appears to be a consensus towards the status quo, with the addition of good regulation. Yet, Obama insists on radical change even though this is not an issue where he can draw a line in the sand. Take a look at existing, standard health care contracts, and look for regulative remedies that would promote the general good.
