How exactly is it illegal? And you support cramming things down others' throats (such as your personal morals), so why don't you support cramming healthcare down others' throats? Cramming is cramming.

Brinny, is there any reason why you haven't responded to the questions I asked you in the "Letter of the day: Satan replies to Pat Robertson" thread yet?

Ummmm, no. The gospel is what Christians are all about.
Since you ask: Read romans 3:23 - 6:23 and 10: 9-10. We are all sinners in need of a savior. We also have brains and preferences and make choices based upon principles. Even when we are hated.

But aren't Christians supposed to try not to sin, since sin is what separates you from God, and since God dislikes sins? Or are you one of the types of Christians who thinks that you can do whatever you want, no matter how much the Bible speaks against it, since you're guaranteed forgiveness through the blood of Jesus?

Can you give me a link with source that shows an invite to any GOP member to one of the meetings with with Barry, Harry, or Nancy where the house and senate versions of the credit cardholder bill of rights, a women's fair pay bill, a smoking regulation bill and a war spending bill were reconciled?
Good article on this today INSIDE WASHINGTON: Secret bill-writing on the rise - washingtonpost.com

This is an incredible statement, considering the fact that the major policy that the government is trying to pass, health care reform, shows a clear willingness on the part of the government to compromise and negotiate (to the point where the current bill on offer is hardly supported by the left because major compromises have been made).

The problem is they are only compromising and negotiating within their own party. That's not how America is supposed to be. It appears to me that democrats only care about skin color and gender when it comes to the rights of minorities. The citizens aligned with the minority party in Congress, the one that championed equal rights, are not being allowed fair representation.
Perhaps now that will change. That's why tonight I am finally proud of my state.

I hope I can be proud of California next. We need to take our country back and have someone serve with common sense! Beat them liberals back. They are arrogant and don't care about the American people. They blatantly state it!

Illegal in the sense that it isn't constitutional is probably what he meant.
As for the cramming of morals and healthcare, well these are rather different things. Healthcare would create a legal requirement that individuals purchase insurance, with their own money, with some sort of penalty for not doing so. The 'cramming' of morals, on the other hand, doesn't create any legal requirements for anyone. I can say 'I think X is wrong' all day, and while it may grate a bit, no one has to do anything because of it.

The negotiating and comprising went across party lines. You are either misinformed or misrepresenting what has happened over the last 12 months.
A 5 second search on Google of "democrats negotiate with republicans health" came up with this Time article from mid last year questioning whether or not the Democrats would CONTINUE to negotiate with Republicans:
Can Democrats Reform Health Care Without Republicans? - TIME
Guess what, the health care plans haven't gotten any more leftist since then - actually the opposite.
Also form that quick google search I come up with a lot of links from Democrat bloggers from around September last year urging the Democrats to stop negotiating with the Republicans... so that is even after the Democrats had the numbers.
I'm sorry, but it is completely wrong to suggest that cross-party compromises and negotiations have not been occuring. The only reason they have stalled recently is because of a Republican refusal to move any more from their current position.
