Reply #7: Republicans are playing hardball politics brilliantly...

[Ozymanithrax]

They utilize tacts designed to get theri base out while disgusting the rest of the electorate and supressing their vote.

Democrats appear weak, and their vacilitaion dos not inspire peple to go to the voting boths.

If we see an election where the independants stay home out of disgust, and liberl/progressives stay home out of anger against a Congress they feel has betraye dthem the Republicans will take home the prize.

It is critical to pass a helathcare bill. Without a bill, it will appear that Obama and the Democrats are weak and people will not support them for their failure. If a bill passes, There is a chance that Republicans will be held to few gains. No bill, they probably win big.
