Refered to Committee and sponsored by prominent Republicans

Known as the "Empowering Patients Act"

I want to read more about it (haven't yet) but I wanted to post up the link anyways.

see what the peanut gallery thinks

Not much interested in any bill backed by a nutcase looney-toon like Michele Bachmann.

That's one of the big problems I have with congress, and the current administration.
They all claim to want bi-partisan polotics(as long as the other side will cross the fence and do everyting we want) that's not being very BI-PARTISAN.

I'm sure many dems have the same attitude you do and wont even consider looking at the bill, let alone read it(oh wait I know for a fact they wont read it, they haven't even read any of the versions they have on the table.)

double post

but one bearing the name "Waxman" is what you're all about?

This is a man who pushed for regulations on steriods and doesn't know the first flippin thing about performance enhancing drugs. I refer you to "Bigger, Stronger, Faster".

this is a classic strategem from the Left. Isolate the target, demonize it and marginalize it. Eliminate the opposition.

What exactly is the problem with Rep. Bachmann? She's not lead around by a leash held by Nanci Pelosi and Harry Reid? She votes in the interests of her constituents? She stands up for liberty, freedom and individual rights?

yeah, real loon bat. what a nut job. I wish I could have a representative like Democrat Eric Massa from NY who is on record as saying he will vote against the interest and wishes of his constituency
