(the one exception was the whole Pelosi-Catholic Bishops-Stupak episode)

But at least they managed to put a bill together and pass it with far more good than bad. Their list of the 14 things that would happen immediately with their bill was impressive and good stuff - especially the National High Risk Pool)

1. It's cheaper to buy 100 Senators than 450 Representatives, no?

2. The house is more responsive to the people.
Since they represent smaller districts, they can reflect what's going on locally. The senate's size lends it to a lot of catch-all thinking.

3. The house is more representative of the people than the senate because it isn't based of the...
goddamned house of lords.

4. The Senate is our real problem. The House is way ahead of them.
I want this changed.
