Blue Dogs can be made to heel
BDs and Freedom-Haters reach a deal, paving the way for concrete legislation to be voted on in September.
Key bone thrown their way: There would still be a public option, but nobody would be forced to join. So you’d still have a government entity “competing” with private companies. Big thumbs-down from BN.
As RightPundits observes, it’s more crucial than ever to hammer the BDs while they’re home for recess so they’ll go back and tell San Fran Nan and Henry Waxman “I just can’t suport it. It would be political suicide.”
