The current bill is only dead if foolish liberals allow it to die. The fact that Doug says it is dead should tell you that's what he wants.   Do the rest of you also want no bill?

It is classically self-defeating to speak of it in the past tense.

It is a start, not the final goal.

Or perhaps you would like to face the electorate in the fall with no bill. Does the phrase "pitiful helpless giant" ring any bells?

As has been said before, politics is the art of the possible.

Seems to be a very hard lesson for some liberals to learn--and I count myself as a bit left of center--but somebody willing to deal with reality.

House Democrats need to accept the Senate bill, let the president sign it, and move on to other things--especially employment-related issues.
