Sorry - they get no credit for that from me. The GOP took away all possible control over premium costs for those people out of the Senate bill. That's how that part of the bill was "released" by them.

And it doesn't much matter what the GOP wants to try and take credit for "being in favor of", when 100% of them said Americans do not get that legal consumer protection, and 100% of them voted against it.

I'm sure they were very concerned with your doling out of credit when designing a strategy.

Not in Kentucky voting booths, where the GOP majority will hold no matter what they do to their constituents.

The # needed to kill a filibuster needs to be set to about 55. There needs to be a balance, and that's it. If you look at the the controversial issues that society votes on, the minority is usually in that 45-48% area. For instance, Gay Marriage is an example where a legit Minority Rights view is usually voted down by a typical 53-47 majority vote. It is a case where a naturally biased majority gets to decide the rights of a minority. The Majority should be required to hit the 55% threshold. 60% is excessive, and it's resulted in opportunistic whores acting up in a horrible way. If it was 55 in the Senate, then this bill would be much better for everyone. It would have been done in a reasonable amount of time. Requiring a Presidential Candidate to get 60 votes in the Senate only results in making them look like liars (THEY CAN'T EVEN TRY TO DO WHAT THEY WANTED TO TRY.) They need to be able to try something, and be voted out if it fails. Right now, they get voted out because they can't get 60 votes to try their solutions out. Getting 55 Senators to pass something is a good enough check on the Majority. Hair Helmut Nelson says he's an independent-type person. Well, all whores are independent contractors.

Gotta love the rocket scientists on here, for whom the rude personal attack is the crowning glory of their intellectual contribution to the subject

Hey, you removed your "Obama and Rahm are the anti-christ" post, too.
