and Please don't forget the bi-partisan committee that fought it all what ? for eight long months in the senate ? that committee was loaded with republicans .. The dems and Obama have extended their hands across the aisle to the point where he/they MAY have lost thier base ..

Some here have a habit of distorting ..if you view their history they have only posted on boards . .where they have .. "YES MEN" who pat them on their backs .. & tell em .. yeah yeah .. .right and then continue with their lies .. This is the first and only time 'some' of them have come here to discuss 'things' where people actually know what they are talking about ..

wbmw....I must disagree....

to attempt to be fair, I used wikipedia as an info source to respond to your statement:

Geo, you might want to consider reading news sources that are more varied, because the debate happened, compromises WERE reached, and the final bill contained over 100 amendments from the Republicans - making it *bipartisan*.

here's what WIKI says: (I made the "bold")

In the Senate, the bill faced numerous amendments made by the Republicans, all of which failed. However, the Republicans had two provisions dealing with Pell Grants stricken from the bill due to violations of budget reconciliation rules, forcing the bill to return to the House.[12] The two provisions were: The fourth paragraph of Sec. 2101(a)(2)(C) and Sec. 2101(a)(2)(D).[13][14]. On March 25, the bill passed the Senate by a 56–43 vote, with all Republicans and 3 Democrats voting against it[15]. The only Democratic Senators to vote against were: Lincoln (D-AR), Nelson (D-NE) & Pryor (D-AR). Later in the same day the House passed the modified bill by a 220–207 vote, sending it to President Obama for a signature.[16]

so, who's telling the truth....the Repugnantkins who claim their amendments were "rejected" or the Demorats who say this was bipartisan?
