we still need to attack Republicans (4.00 / 2)

at least ones like Grassley whose misleading talking points on health care are giving cover to the bad Democrats.

I have to disagree (4.00 / 6)

our problem isn't with Republicans, as we have the numbers.

Our problem is with Democrats who apparently don't believe in any part of the party's platform.

This may be the first time I have disagreed with a post of yours. (4.00 / 7)

I think Chris has it right. In fact I think we should vote, just like endorsing Obama. I think it should be very limited, in scope and time. If we win, well good its over. If we lose, and the CrappyDems shaft the chance of even minimal reform and the scope of a right to healthcare, then well we'd be in a different world, and our plans for 2010 would change a great deal.

And here's the kicker, if we lose this to the Blue dog Dems, then our job becomes electing "Single Payer Dems"

You lose us this, and we will work to take you out, and elect Dems who will give us wildly popular "single payer dems."

Im with Chris, lets put it to a vote.
