It's a disgrace how Democrats are selling us out on this issue. Let's fire these folks who aren't doing their job for the American people!

The house health reform plan has an individual mandate AND a public option. This will force private plans to start competing with public efficiencies. So I don't know what ti problem over some small resolution is. I think any disapproval over her has more to do with the senate contest. I know my parents didn't put up her lawn sign OR VOTE for her over her poorly thought out comments and maneuvering.

(The irony? She was chorusing in, per Ciresi's orders, on the Coleman/RPM "Eeeek! Franken wrote for PLAYBOY!" bit of hissy kabuki, yet she has no problems taking money from EMILY's List -- which was founded by Christie Hefner and still funded with her daddy Hugh's Playboy money.)

She was a fool in her take on Al Franken. It was seemingly written in a secret meeting between her and Norm Coleman. I hope somebody in the DFL party teaches her something about party loyalty because she sure has forgotten that part of being a DFLer. The Representative also ended up a Republican tool last year.
