When did The Trigger rear its ugly head again? And, is it just the press who

[gateley]

says it's being discussed, or is there something to it.

I thought that died a while back.

Of course, I think we're set one day, the next day we find out we're not. Sigh. I can't wait until this is done so we can either celebrate or stomp our feet for a valid reason.

1. Snowejob brought back the Trigger Option

And Obama is so scared that someone won't like him, that he's running with it

:banghead:

[gateley]

3. That's something else I don't understand. Snowe just has ONE vote, right?

Why have we/they bestowed these magical powers upon her?

I have to believe there's gotta be some valid reason, I just don't get what it is. :shrug:

[Taverner]

4. Obama is still fixated on this "bipartisan" shit

And I don't get it...I mean, its not going to make any difference to voters whether he found a Repug to vote with him or not.

[gateley]

7. One Republican vote doesn't scream "bipartisan" by any means. It's almost embarrassing. nt

6. Now that it is beginning to seem like a PO might be part of the mix, and she's

said she will NOT vote for cloture if that's the case.... Her "star" has already begun to dim.

2. I think it may be used in a different (better) way. .

NOW the talk is of having a public option, with a trigger employed to allow States to "opt out" at some future date. .

. .If I've got that right, the trigger is no longer a bad thing.

[gateley]

5. If that's the case, I'd have to say it may not be AS bad a thing.

With the insurance companies having monopolies in so many states, I don't think it would take much for them to 'convince' the states to opt out.

But now that you mention it, I do remember that they're saying something about state opt-outs. Thanks for reminding me. I get so confused! :hi:

[annabanana]

8. It's a fast moving game right now. . I have the luxury of being

able to pay at least "half attention" all day.

[gateley]

9. I DO appreciate your help! I just get buried in it all. nt
