Yeah, let's not rush into this - it's only been 40 years in the making...what a bunch of crap Nelson is trying to sell.

take his free heath care away

Shouldn't the "Blue Dog" dems then become engaged in the process and pour over the documents so they know exactly what it is they're trying to "slow down". No, their job is to read and pass legislation. They get paid a lot of money to do it. They need to make reading and having input into this bill their priority, not going on tv shows and explaining why it's not going to work and why they are shirking their responsibilities. I respect your opinion but I just have to disagree on that one point.

Nelson is Sarah Palin's DICKLESS and BALLESS BITCH and PUSSY! Palin is a SUPERIOR politician and statesman than Nelson could ever be. She is also MORE MAN than he is for Nelson wears the skirt in his family while his wife wears the pants!

T A X "E". THE E IS THE PEOPLE TAXED

[josephpuente]

T-A-X, 1, 2, 3... Where's that fourth letter?

Nelson, a Democrat, better change his tune quick, or he'll be out of a job. 72% of Americans want a public option for health care. And I dont think very many of them would mind seeing a tax on the rich to pay for it.

Side note: Did you see the hearing when Hank Apulson admitted to receiving a $200 million cash out on his Goldman Sachs stock ON WHICH HE PAID NO TAX --ZERO.

I'd like for the American people to get a little of our money back from the filthy rich Wall Street Syndicate.

Bush, Cheney & the Neo-Cons exempted the very rich from taxes.

As Hemsley said paying taxes is for poor people.

Unfortunately, making multimillion dollar campaign contributions & owning politians is for rich people.

"tax is a four letter word"? does he mean saying change in tax = change in vote???? im only guessing thats what he means.

[route99]

I agree with the Blue Dogs that the Bill needs to be a well thoughtout piece of legistlation getting us value for our money.

What I do not agree with is that taxes need to stay stagnant. This is the rich crying poor once again. I don't think there is a single patriotic American out there who would mind their taxes going up if we get a good program that addresses the current issues.

The answer is NOT the status quo or making a weak bill b/c we don't want to take on the insurance companies.
