...Republicans, in other words, have moved the goal posts on reform. Despite Baucus’ many concessions, the GOP is still arguing that the proposal “simply leads to more government, more spending and more taxes” and “spends too much.”

“The chairman’s health care proposal (known as the “chairman’s mark”) that was released by Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) in advance of next week’s Finance Committee Markup is just more of the same big government policies that have been proposed by this Congress and this administration for months,” Sen. Jim Demint (R-SC) wrote on his website.

10. What's misleading about the article? The headline is messed up

but the story itself, ..what's incorrect?

[ProSense]

11. You've deleted your OP title and the headline of the piece you posted

Who are you trying to fool?

[masuki bance]

12. Every change I made was noted. What's your problem?

I deleted the headline because I noted the comments and realized that it was incorrect and in its place I wrote *Headline Deleted*. The OP title was changed for the same reason and then I responded to one of the community who brought up the concern with an "Updated" reply.

How is that trying to fool you? Is it really that easy?

[Skink]

8. I thought Baucus is a republican?

on the news these dems should have some sort of asterisk next to their affiliation.

[Ikonoklast]

13. More crap from the OP.

SOP.
