Reply #9: There's that black and white thinking again

I think many of them are voting for it because of a political reality. They feel a defeat on this for the president would be a problem for the party and the president. The ones who I know are against it probably do believe they can make it better or cling to some hope that, at least, some people will be better off. I would prefer a principled stand from them but they are all, at the end of the day, politicians. The better ones have, at least, given us the heads up as to who was behind pushing the bill to the right so we know who we're dealing with. I think we know who needs primarying.
