The Republicans are now whining that they are being left out of the HealthCare plans. With all the ridiculous misrepresentations of the devout Republicans and the 'fringe' whackos, the lies that have been given credence to by the brilliant Fox News staff and many others, especially radio talk shows, is rather remarkable. Intelligent people would have to ask the question "Why would we want more ideas from people who can't listen, quote accurately, and clearly want to 'deep six' the whole plan for Health Care for all citizens.
At last, the Democrats have had enough and are now, rather than constantly trying to defend their plan, asking where is the Republican plan. Those Senators who don't believe there is a problem for the average American remain unwilling to share their Legislative perks with the rest of us. Each should be noted, as they are self-serving in their office and have forgotten those whom they are representing.
Meanwhile the Republicans insist that the Democrats are ignoring the needs of the public. Amusing since the Republicans have demonstrated they are totally unaware of their constituents needs.

Granted, the Republicans should have put together their own plan, even if it would have no chance of being enacted at this time. But what is even more troubling is a lack of a real Democratic plan. The only reasonably complete health care bill assembled so far is the Max Baucus plan, which has no chance of passing due to opposition from the Democratic party's left wing.
Throughout this congressional year, the real obstacle to health care reform has been the lack of agreement within the Democratic party on what sort of reform should take place. After months of wrangling, it is safe to assume that there is no one proposal that the Democrats will get behind. Given that, the only realistic way to get anything passed in the next year is to create a bill that will garner some Republican support. The most expedient way to do this would be to talk to the congressional Republicans. If Obama can negotiate with Ahmadinejad, why not negotiate with the congressional opposition in his own party?
Sorry, that last sentence on my previous comment should have read "If Obama can negotiate with Ahmadinejad, why not negotiate with the congressional opposition in his own country?"
