4. Cornermouse: How to pass healthcare reform
Edited on Wed Nov-11-09 07:41 AM by cornermouse
1. Find out what people want (single payer/universal healthcare/expansion of medicare) and refuse to water it down (public option) or allow it to be watered down by people who are frightened or people with bad intentions.

2. Don't sacrifice core principles.

3. Grab the blue dogs by their tie, get in their face and tell them this is how its going to be or else.

Oh yeah. Pull Lieberman's chair, perks, etc. Basically tell him that it is OVER for him as a democrat, pseudo or otherwise.
