What's going to be interesting is when they take up the Healthcare debate again.
As you probably know, they have postponed Wed's vote on the the "job-killing blah blah blah bill".

It was healthcare reform that brought out the worst of the worst. Think back to those townhall meetings, the rhetoric was pretty heated.

Is that going to change? Probably not.

1. I said this yesterday
The democrats need to debate the fact that every one of the survivors in Arizona now have a pre-existing condition if they do not currently have, or need to change their future healthcare.

Does the GOP want to take that away from them?

2. They aren't going to spend much time on debate:
No hearings, no amendments allowed, just vote, up or down, yes or no. I imagine the debate time will be rationed. The No's will win, and that's the end of it. Won't be taken up in Senate. They will try to slice money out of it's implementation.

3. Why does everything they name have to relate to violence?
"job-killing"

Healthcare kills jobs? How so? Healthcare is a "killer"? Can they not think of a better word?
