Lock the doors, hold their feet to the fire!

Make the bastards filibuster!

hmmm... we don't need any more delays. The time is now!

When we are at war, there should not even be vacations for our congresspeople. That would give them the incentive to solve our problems.

Thank you Steny! Let's get this project done, so we can move on to the next one. ASAP

What! Someone has the BALLS to do their job... WOW I must be still asleep stuck in a dream... Hey!! Nobody wake me up I'm enjoying this.

did you hear that joe lie-berman

Get it done Steny!!

The Senate may not vote until next year.

Just get it done!

Ya, hell, a majority of Americans don't want this thing so let's get 'er done!

That a boy Steny, get her done!

Brian, a majority of Americans do want this done. 70% in some polls.

Depends on the wording of the polls, Jennifer. For instance when asked if the person supported an option to purchase medical coverage from a government agency similar to medicare, nearly 70% supported it. When asked "Do you support Obama's kitten torturing and grandma killing government takeover of healthcare" then more than half opposed it.

Hitler tortured kittens

Good point Jonathan. The results always depends on the wording of the polls!

Intelligence failure

GOOOOOD! And make it meaningful and not Compromise CRAP!

No compromises, no pandering....cover everyone who WANTS or NEEDS a public option simple
pay according to means or income

Congress needs to be working for the people not big business!!

They ALWAYS SAY THAT..then they adjourn and go home for a 'month,' to enjoy their 'DO NOTHINGNESS!'

These guys have been in congress forever and NEVER had to work. Let us not forget that DAMN few Democrats voted AGAINST funding Iraq (off the books)..they took the 'easy' way out and voted us into this mess. NOW THEY EXPECT MEDALS FOR SPENDING A LITTLE TIME DOING WHAT THEY'RE HIRED TO DO.

All they do is 'whine' as the cameras are finally turned on their every movement and there's noplace to hide. ... See More

WE EXPECT WORK out of them; that's what they make the big bucks for. Actually, if they follow their pattern, they'll vote themselves their new raise and produce nothing before they break.

@linda: businesses create jobs for people..

@ reality; businesses aren't mandated to create good paying jobs, as we saw with reagan, business created jobs at taco bell and mcdonalds.

its funny republicans want to bankrupt the country with frivolous wars..while dems are trying to save lives and spend money for health care....at least we will be healthy even if we are broke...the wars have no real positive outcome for anyone except the defense contractors and military officials and that is only monetary....

IT'S ON!!!!!!

Just do it!!!! We have the power and the numbers and the majority DO WANT IT and WE WANT IT NOW. We know who the obstructionists are. Jonathan - you are right on, my friend.

Hit the phones, emails, and faxes of your state's representatives! Let your voice be heard!

The majority of Americans DO want this, we have the MAJORITY now, have some guts & do the RIGHT THING even if you lose your seat next time - at least you can be proud you kept your integrity & served your country. PUBLIC OPTION IS THE COMPROMISE - NO BACKING DOWN & KISSING GOP A$$!!!

Absolutely, Honora Price! You're right on.

Honora Price took the words right out of my mouth!!! Democrats be Democrats, if you act like republicans we will remember and vote you out. NO more favors for joe liberman!!!

For another view of the present health care legislation, read Martin Feldstein in yesterday's (Nov. 6) Washington Post (the page before the editorial page).

Remember to support anyone running against an incumbent Republican't senator. As long as they can filibuster-nothing good can happen for the average hard working Americans. Also, don't count on that worthless traitor Lieberman as he is bribed by the contributions of the health care industry.

We're talking "Joe the Bummer," here.

Dan Malloy would make a better governor than Ned.

People want change and they want to shake things
up but all they ever do is select a Republican or a Democrat,
be bold people actually make a real change and mark
that ballot for someone in the third party.. Come on,
be brave!

I love Obama and understand what he has been up against; I praise him and his ideas. I condemn those who think it only takes 365 days to undo 8 painful years of harm created by the Bush administration of thieves!
