Any train can be derailed. Keep up the pressure on the government takeover of our country. This group appears hell bent on rahming bad legislation through with no regard for opposition or political harm. Can't quite figure it out, but hopefully America will come to its senses and avoid irreversible harm.

You say politicians should follow the will of the people, well, this is it. Democrats were elected to put health care reform in place. Tea Baggers are loud, but not anywhere near the voice of the people of this country. CMan,

Conrad is a centrist on health reform. Conrad finished the interview, and then the hosts, a guest from one of the Democratic National committees, and several callers began railing on Conrad. They hated that this guy from a little state was screwing up their reform plans. Memo to Dems: North Dakota is a Republican state. Long line of Republicans Governors. McCain even carried NoDak in 2008 by seven points. You should be thankful that you have a D in the Senate seat from North Dakota. You shouldn't piss and moan that the guy isn't liberal enough for you -- if he steps down, I'm sure the citizens of North Dakota would love to make John Hoeven (R) their next Senator.

Party leaders, though, need to lead with a bit of humility as well. The Demcrats, for example, had a landslide 2008 election largely because they were the bigger tent party, and they allowed moderate candidates to run in many districts. Those candidates generally won. Now the moderate candidates are moderate Congressmen and women. Don't be so surprised that they are not blindly backing liberal policy. Sleep in the bed you made.

When you consider that 69-70% of Americans support it...seems a little stupid for him to have said that.
