Today looks a bit brighter
By Creature
With the tough talk coming from Harry Reid in the Senate and the progressives in the House about not compromising with Republicans on a health care bill things do look a bit brighter this morning. The Republicans should be abandoned. The idea that they (and the conservative Democrats) would support any legislation that was true reform, that contained a strong public option, that didn't hand our health to the insurance lobby was ludicrous to begin with. So, bravo to progressives for drawing a line in the sand (something the White House still refuses to do). Now let's see if they can hold that line until passage. There's still a long way to go.
