Reply #117: The only way to avoid that is to support him

[mkultra]

we are now in that position because of lack of support. The republicans will march in lock step against us and if we are still debating the course of action to take, they will roll over us.

There is very little he can do at this point. As far as im concerned, the best we can look forward to is some regulation of private insurance to insure that they don't drop people when they get sick and to limit preexisting condition drops. This is where we are NOW, but it wasn't where we where at when this started.

Without the Bully Pulpit, the democrats will not work together towards his goal of a public option. They will instead be at the mercy of the blue dogs.
