Rep. Mike Ross of Arkansas made the announcement Tuesday as members of Congress returned from Washington after their August recess. It could be a sign of big trouble ahead for President Barack Obama and Democratic leaders trying to push health legislation through Congress. Most House liberals say they won't support a bill without a public plan. << So the question is, will the Liberals agree to a compromise, or sink the entire bill because they are not getting everything they want.....

Some fear that the bill would subsidize abortion. Many other Democratic members, including those berated by protesters at raucous town hall meetings in August, are still undecided.<< >>At least 60 liberal Democrats have pledged to vote against a healthcare bill with no public option, which they view as watered-down reform. Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) has said dropping the public option completely would lose 100 Democratic votes.<<

Secondly, when will you learn that taking random quotes out of context and pasting them on here does not in any way argue your point (if in fact you even a point).
