#2 During the televised meeting the Pubs need to full court press the Obama and the Dems to make public all government health care take over meetings and documents. Ask Obama why it good to televise this meeting but not make public the secret meetings where all the real decisions are made.

#3 All the Pubs need to do is show up, be cordial, and play it low key. Bottom line, even when the Democrats had a supra majority in the Senate they still couldn't pass a final bill. Unless the House Dems go against their Union masters and swallow the Senate version this bad boy is DOA.

#4 DG is right. Rahm thinks he's set a win-win trap for the trunks, but only if they appear obstructionist and uncooperative. All they have to do is show up and force the donks to sell their plan to the American people. They have an alternative and they should present it, but only as the kick off to the fall campaign.

#5 Given the limited time, I don't know if it would be wise to talk about the Dem plan. We already know everything about it. It's the Dems who need to listen to the Republicans long and hard, so it should be a one-sided conversation, with the Dems only asking truly information-oriented questions.

#7 We'll do this during the day when most working stiffs are hard at work and will have to see it on the evening news - after the editors have a chance to make the Republicans look as stupid as possible...
And all this is crap unless the congresscritters and public are allowed to read (in its entirety) and think about the final bill before the vote. Which to me means 1 day for each 100 pages.

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
