COMMON SENSE - MAYBE? - AT 4:17 P.M. ET:  Even some Democrats are starting to see that the health-care debate is insane.  The Obamanuts want a bill passed by the August recess, a bill that will change America more than any piece of legislation has in decades.  Who cares if it's right?  Who cares if it bankrupts the economy?  Who cares if it increases medical costs rather than lowering them?  Hey, it's about vengeance, isn't it?  Let's get back at those people who kept us out of power.

There are saner voices:

July 17 (Bloomberg) -- A group of lawmakers seeking middle ground on President Barack Obama’s health-care initiative is asking Senate leaders to “take additional time” to reach a compromise on legislation.

In a letter sent today to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican, six senators who have cast deciding votes in previous legislative battles said the impact of the legislation will “last for generations” and that it is “imperative to proceed thoughtfully and responsibly.”

Thoughtfully and responsibly.  What a numbing, middle-class idea.  How common.  How un-Ivy-League.

Democrat Ben Nelson of Nebraska signed.

Other lawmakers signing the letter were Republicans Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine, Democrats Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Ron Wyden of Oregon, and Joseph Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut.

Lieberman.  He's the one behind all this responsibility stuff.  Lieberman, the neo-con.  He liked BUSH (!!)

Americans are waking up to what's being done to them.  But alas, we hope it isn't too late.
