They tried getting Republican input. Why do you think we have this watered-down wishy-washy health care bill, instead of something with some teeth to it?

Because there were too many Dems who wouldn't vote for a public option.

And i'm rather steamed about that, too. Treacherous Blue Dogs, my own congressman was one of 'em, but nobody stood up to him in the primaries, so we couldn't clean house

Yeah, that's not an uncommon sentiment. It's amusing how, when the Tea Party says that sort of thing, it's a civil war in the Republican party (!) or a Stalinist purge (!!!). When it occurs in the Democratic party, it's just the raucous but healthy nature of the Big Tent.
