Coming To Terms

This week's summit between Republicans and Democrats concerning the future of any health reform should make fascinatiing theater.

Comments (121)

Dr. Bob:

The summit isn't going anywhere - Pelosi/Reid/Obama will demand their way or the highway and they'll use the nuclear option (also known as reconciliation).

And it will be the Republican's fault.

Terwiliger:

What sane person reads the Washington bleep anymore?

It didn't take the Republicans too long to figure out this was an ambush attempt on them, & tides they are a-turnin'.

AN OPEN TIP TO CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS:

I've been trying to get through to you people, but I keep getting these canned responses to contact "my" "representatives" in "my" state.

Since I'm "represented" by Mark Warner, Jim Webb, & Tom Perriello (three national Democrat Party water carriers, although Webb is showing signs that he at least hears the music), that's out of the question--& I didn't want to tip them off to my idea first.

HERE IT IS:

You know your ideas are not going to be given fair consideration & you are not going to be given a fair opportunity to be heard.

Draw up your own plan. Make a list of individual issues that need to be addressed, & craft targeted legislation aimed specifically at each one of those issues.

Then schedule your OWN air time (perhaps on Fox News) the day after "the summit" is over to unveil your OWN plan. Lay a cohesive alternative out there, & let the American people see what a REAL alternative to an omnibus leviathan boondoggle looks like.

I suggest that you initially present a set of single-issue targeted bills instead of a bloated consolidated piece of [fecal matter] legislation (as Pelosi & Reid have been trying to ram down our throats), & you oppose any attempts to consolidate bills that deal with separate issues that are not highly correlated.

Now--if just ONE of you whom I contacted had listened to me, you could have this idea as a surprise counter-move.

Instead, it seems as though you've let your power go to your head. The predominant attitude I get from you on the few times I have tried to contact you seems to be, "Hey, I'm the elected prima dona. You're the lowly underling. Learn your place."

To paraphrase Mr. Newt, "There are more of us than there are of you"--& you represent US.

2 + 2 = 4

Cowboy:

This conference is a loser for CONSERVATIVES $ republicans. Despite the press, walk out on his ass! The sun comes up tomorrow! This is about gonads, so find them! He made a good chess move...think...now counter.

GarandFan:

I'm with Cowboy. You Republicans will have tomorrow to look at Barry's legislative proposal (if he even bothers to post it). Get your act together and HAMMER HIM! When it's obvious that his "bipartisanship" is a sham, GET UP AND WALK OUT!

Kevin:

Hey T, what do you think of Paul Ryan's plan?

Terwiliger:

HEY KEVIN:

There isn't enough room here for my analysis of a roughly 2000 page bill.

I will say this:

While I don't mind the general direction of it, government is STILL too involved in his "solution", the reason being that there are too many things that he wants to "partially privatize" that ought to be eliminated.

Then again, I guess I shouldn't expect too much from a career politician.

Anonymous:

To add to "T" (and maybe repeat him) it's an omnibus bill. It shouldn't take 1900-plus pages, and it shouldn't all be piled into one, well, pile. It's stupid to try to fix everything at once. Change multiple variables and it's that much harder to tell what's affecting what. One step at a time. One brick at a time. The pharaohs want to build pyramids. We need fortresses.

Terwiliger:

ANONYMOUS:

Well put--better than I did.

To put it another way, think of Congress & those megalobills as a bunch of mentally challenged gear-heads trying to build a lead sled.

They need to chop the top, refit it, rescale the windows, put a new power plant in it, repaint it, & chrome it out.

It's a step-by-step proposition, & you only make one change at a time. Try to chop the top without reinforcing the body first, the body gets torqued out of shape, & it's almost impossible to get everything straight again. Try to make multiple changes at once & you introduce the potential for multiplied error.

However, these omnibus bills are tantamount to building a lead sled by starting out putting an aircraft carrier on a Merc chassis.

Terwiliger:

"With all due respect, it's not the Kennedys' seat. It's not the Democrats' seat. It's the peoples' seat." - Scott Brown (January 12, 2010)

"I hope he means it & lives up to it... I also hope he shuts up about his truck." - Terwiliger (January 26, 2010)

GOP's BROWN BRANDED TURNCOAT FOR [ham fat] "JOBS BILL" VOTE.

It would suit me fine if he went on a bender, got back in that truck, & took a late night drive through Chappaquiddick. While he's at it, I can think of some of his Komrades he can pile in the bed.

Am I the only one who isn't surprised? Just what we needed--another progressive Republican in the John McCain mold.

Apple company doesn’t need to promote units like the iPad 2nd generation considerably upon initial launch, after all without a one commercial and little more than a press conference Apple sold out of iPad 2 units inmuch of the planet, while establishing sales records across the globe. That doesn’t indicate they don’t desire to boast their into a wider group of buyers and today they did that while using launch of a 30-second commercial spot, the devices first.

Very pensive arrangement of info. I not under any condition thot dat t’was this straight forward after all. I had disgorge a talented amount of my sooner looking because someone to legitimatize dis area of study apparently

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

Thank you for this very useful web.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

I think there's something wrong with the RSS feed here. Seems like a broken link to me?
