A week ago I sent an email to Sen Evan Bayh ...Anon,<br />A week ago I sent an email to Sen Evan Bayh complaining about his vote on health care bill. Today I received an answer which sounded like a good conservative Republican. Guess he wants to keep his seat next election! I pay almost half my income in taxes, fed., state, & co. Maybe I own too much good Indiana farmland! Maybe I should either get a new CPA or begin cheating on my taxes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27951078.post-75146590984136140372010-02-04T19:35:33.847-06:002010-02-04T19:35:33.847-06:00No, I don't agree....and I don't see how o...No, I don't agree....and I don't see how one follows the other. The Democrats were obviously partisan (which I don't think is a dirty word or vile accusation) and Republicans were obviously partisan, that's how parties move their agenda forward and how they block agendas they disagree with. The point I was making was that the numerous attempts by Democrats to create the impression that the behaviour/attitude/odor/ or whatever of Republicans was the thing that caused them to not be able to get those in their own party to move their agenda forward when they had a whole year of complete control. I see this as a strategy to divert people from noticing the 2 elephants in the room which is (1)the lack of leadership ability of Obama & Reid to gain the followership of their own party members and (2)the obviously negative reaction of the public to the reality of what the Democrats wanted to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27951078.post-76620534718800239112010-02-04T07:08:40.972-06:002010-02-04T07:08:40.972-06:00Anon:
It is humorous, perhaps. Then you agree Re...Anon:<br /><br />It is humorous, perhaps. Then you agree Republican claims of partisanship failing to include them were bogus?<br /><br />This is also tantamount to a parliamentary system, which doesn't seem to be the "republican way" either.John Phippshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03245790061133614986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27951078.post-79267420343087319492010-02-03T22:30:21.858-06:002010-02-03T22:30:21.858-06:00It's kind of humorous how you're jumping o...It's kind of humorous how you're jumping on the bandwagon of the many democratic partisans trying to blame republicans with vague comments about 'not negotiating in good faith' for the lack of action on the supposed centerpiece accomplishment promised by Obama for the first year. The reality is the democrats had 60 Senate votes and a healthy majority in the House of Representatives. How the republicans negotiated wasn't really relavant. The issue is why democrats couldn't pass what they wanted to with that kind of majority and why do so many defenders of Obama & company think people are so stupid that they can be distracted with these kind of pathetic attempts at 'inside info' about those disingenuous republicans that seem to be messing things up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
