Now the press will call the dems sell-outs. Gregory's first question to
guest: is this a sell out. Plus the line up is almost all dems. Why now? Its time to beat up the left as usual and blame them for everything.

1. Why not? Most of DU has been blaming them for months.

2. "all dems" - if it weren't all D's, then there would be whining that we never get any press
The D's do deserve some blame. Why not confront them. They sold out to large corps - and should be confronted with it.

10. but they should have been calling them on it all along. That's my point
then the dems would have been able to show the world what was really going on. The selling out.

14. I am not sure we knew how much they were willing to sell-out - until the past week or so
while the rhetoric suggested something less than ideal - who knew it would be this bad?

3. So let all those Dems finally push back; Axelrod is, and I hope more
will follow.

4. It's all Dems because the only debate has been between Dems.
The Republicans foolishly shut themselves out of the debate on an all in gamble that no health care bill would be passed.

In other words, the Republicans made themselves completely irrelevant on the issue of health care reform. So when the Sunday morning talking head shows need to talk about health care, they get both sides of the debate from two Democrats and completely ignore the Republicans.

8. No, they opposed it knowing whatever would come out would suck
Thanks to their sleeper agents in our Party and of course Unholy Joe.

5. It's hard to deny that they sold out.
Impossible, really.

7. As was always the plan
I can't believe how entirely we walked, nay ran, into this trap.

11. just saying they should have been talking about the selling out all along
then the outcome might have been better. The public would have been aware of the sellout.

15. It could have been avoided - by not selling out.
All pockets have been properly lined, so now it's time to pass the POS Heath Insurance Bill.
