Reply #15: What is this idea

[droidamus2]

Why is it that they are treating the House like it doesn't really have any function but to rubberstamp whatever the Senate decides to send over. First the Democrats have to give the conservative Republicans everything they want or don't want in the health care legislation with no real compromise. Then the progressive Democrats have to give the conservative Democrats everything they want, again no compromising. Now the House is being told 'there will be no compromise. you either capitulate to the Senates (conservatives) demands or health care is dead'. Is somebody on the progressive side of the Democratic party going to draw a line in the sand or are they all just going to be bought off with promises of money for their home districts. What we have ended up with is legislation that has been written and controlled by only a few conservative senators not real representation.
