nationalized health care, much like gay marriage, is no longer a matter of it, but only a matter of when.
are you suggesting that all members of congress don't share a duty to their constituents to attempt to make laws better?
Please explain why a political party that was shut out of the legislative decisions of a really bad and poorly thought out law have any obligation to their constituents to try and fix it?
as if that were a surprise to you? National health care and gay marriage are definitely long held views of the Democrats. I share those.
my question was totally honest. I believe that all members of congress have a primary duty to their constituents that supersedes their duty to their party... and their duty to their constituents requires that the always keep working to improve the laws that come forth from congress.... do you, or do you NOT agree with that position?

I am saying that, as long as we have a SCOTUS, and as long as they are tasked with interpreting the constitution, nothing is ever set in stone.
Can you cite a source (other than your personal beliefs) for that "duty". Commander?
because, you see... this post seems to make it seem like you think that party affiliation overrules any obligation to constituents.
Was Gerud right to proclaim final victory in the battle over Obamacare, Commander?
what are the chances of achieving total repeal?
Based on this statement, it is obvious that you don't think. I am amused that you "think" Republicans are not abiding by their obligation to their constituents by trying to repeal this act. Most got elected and re-elected on a promise to repeal the act.
But it is equally amusing and farcical that you believe that repealing this abomination is not a way to fix it; many corrctly believe that it is the ONLY way to "fix" it.
insofar as nothing is ever "final", probably not.
What were the chances of eliminating slavery, segregation, or the disenfranchisement of women and Blacks, Commander?
inch by inch... the longest journey starts with but a single step.
