If Repugs voted against debating healthcare - WHY should they be allowed

[jillan]

to debate it? Why should they be allowed to offer amendments?

I know, that's not how it's done...but personally - I think they should all take an extended vacation.
They don't do anything anyway, except keeping the dems from getting anything done.

8. because winning a vote doesn't mean you completely screw over those who lost.

that's just not the way it's done in a democracy, that's not the way it's done in america.




unless of course it's the republicans who win the vote.

10. Of course it would never happen - but a girl can dream....

9. If some DUers want the bill and Obama to fail, why are they still allowed to post here?? n/t

[MadMaddie]

11. Agreed and if we need only 50 or 51 votes then

we will be on sturdier ground. The Repugs have no intention of helping Americans in any form.

13. I Couldn't Understand

Why they were complaining about Reid working on the bill behind closed doors. I think he did the right thing. Why have people partipate ho will never vote for the bill?

[jillan]

14. Well said! And they keep saying that they were never given an opportunity to add anything to the

bill...which is ridiculous as the part where they can start adding is going to start now - and that's what they voted against:eyes:
