      Of course not. And not because Obama had no interest in getting their votes. But keep proving that no Republicans voted for the bill. I'm really impressed by your ability to prove that repeatedly.

          • The argument was that the changes were done to appeal to the Conservative Democrat block that existed at the time as Oerdin claimed. The GOP was out the negotiations whether that was by choice or by design is irrelevant to the factual claim that Oerdin made.

              I wasn't trying to prove a point. I'm not smart enough to make points. I'm just asking you a question, because I'm Simple and you're an intelligent liberal who can explain these things to me. Let me repeat it:

              What changes to the bill were made just to get Olympia Snowe's vote? And why would Democrats, who are much smarter than I am, go through with those changes if they weren't going to get Olympia Snowe's vote anyway?


              As I remember it with my feeble brain, Olympia Snowe announced she wouldn't vote for the bill several months before the final version was introduced.

                That was after several months of trying to negotiate with her. It didn't work. Oh well. Obama tried. He didn't have no interest in bipartisanship.

                • So what happened in the next four months, as the final bill was drafted? Did the writers of the bill write the bill to try to get Republican support? That seems to be what you told me.

                    After they had spent months trying to get Republican votes and failed, except for that one Republican who voted for the original House bill? Yeah, they probably gave up and just passed it with Democratic votes. Elections have consequences, after all.

                        So he didn't work with Republicans, and the Democrats got a bill free of Republican intervention?

                          I was disputing the claim that he had no willingness to work with Republicans in any way.

                              Bob Woodward wouldn't sell many books if he described politicians as nice guys who disagree on principle.

                              • OK, these facts make sense, even to a Simple Conservative. I only have one question for you, then. (Unlike my many for Oerdin, who consistently confuses my feeble Conservative mind.)

                                Why do you "wish he hadn't" tried to work with the Republicans, if it didn't end up changing the contents of the bill?
