Harkin Says No Republicans at the Table

By GottaLaff

The question is, who are the real Democrats "at the table"?

Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA), chairman of the Senate health committee, said Republicans "will not be at the table when the Senate merges the health-care bills from two committees before sending one to the floor," the Des Moines Register reports.

Said Harkin: "No, this will be a proposal by the Democrats to bring a bill on the floor. And that's what I have said before, that the people of this country -- I keep saying -- the people of this country pretty overwhelmingly elected Barack Obama last fall and to make changes. The people of this country overwhelmingly elected Democrats to the House and Senate."

They may have elected Democrats, but what they got were Rushpublic Lite.
