    Michael Steele needs to get his party back in line and deny funding to every congressman and senator who votes yes on anything this congress passes. At least the chairman of the Kalifornia RNC is doing that to the Gang of Six who raised our taxes another $14 billion.

    Yeah, I agree it was pretty much a gush fest, though as a point of depature to discuss the issues raised, it was a beginning. I just wished there was someone who advocated not messing with health care at all. Or, someone who would ask six million dollars to save an 89 year old woman or a premature baby? Or, both. Do cigarette smokers get lung transplants? How many liver transplants does an alcoholic get? Kidneys? And, where are all these body parts coming from? To participate in the program are you required to donate your organs?

    OK, I’ll be fair. Even if everyone had the insurance and personally paid for it, will the insurance companies be forced to cover the above?

    Will the insurance companies be forced to pay for platic surgery and in vitro fertillization?

    Yes, it is nice (and important) to discuss the issue, but who is in the room advocating doing nothing?

    Here is the opening story of the attendees.

    Aside from the 64 representatives from the Obama administration and Congress, a sampling of the 56 “community leaders and stakeholders” shows that no less than seven union chiefs, 10 organizations advancing racial and ethnic concerns, 10 progressive think tanks and advocacy groups, three universities, three health care associations and at least six interests groups for women, seniors, disabled and gay rights groups were in attendance.

    Six conservative think tanks and advocacy groups, two health policy organizations and four business associations along with one law firm specializing in Wall Street mergers, one retirement and financial services fund, a John McCain adviser and a representative from the Congressional Budget Office rounded out the guest list.

    This news link also lists the exact name and relationship of the attendees. I think our Conservative representatives were outnumbered.

    Open, you mean like the “stimulus” bill that was rammed down our throats (apologies to Barney Frank) before anyone, including those signing it, could read it? After PROMISING to post any bill online for at least a week before signing it, for “transparency?”

    And since we are looking back into the WayBack Machine, Mr. Peabody, how open were those Hillarycare meetings? Or the secret, Democrat only meetings to get this bill rammed through? Or a full disclosure on his questionable campaign donations? Or his Columbia grades? Or what he even freakin’ reads (according to Brokaw on Charlie Rose), assuming he does? Or his full associations with Wright, Ayers and Rezko? Or his association with ACORN (and resultant payback)? Or even his birth certificate?!?!?!?
