Democrats have already been bipartisan
The most liberal members wanted a total government run medical system. Instead what we have offered is a public insurance option which will compete with the private ones. Yeah I know, it's the first step in a government power grab yada yada... bullshit.
Republicans have not moved one iota from their starting point. They have one mission: Kill reform. No compromise, no alternate plan, just torpedo the reform efforts.
The time for trying to deal with these guys is over. F*ck 'em. Now's the time to do what is right.
