Obama should tell them that they will get no support from him or the party in the next election their seats are up if they block the public option.20th Century Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11432147267959308192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342692190188505824.post-28163252496495422632009-10-14T08:31:30.934-07:002009-10-14T08:31:30.934-07:00*Rain - Excellent point and one I had not thought ...*Rain - Excellent point and one I had not thought of.

If they include the public option, the value of the stock market will fall which will impact the rich but also ordinary people's 401k's. I think that the stock market has forced many bad decisions and following after it blindly is what makes us more vulnerable to the wishes of the 'richest' among us. I still hope for a public option but it will take real courage for them to do what will short term look bad but long term will rise all boats.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.com
