Waxman: Blue Dogs Trying To “Eviscerate” Health Care

By: Jane Hamsher Friday July 24, 2009 9:27 am

Waxman says Blue Dogs are trying to hand over control of Energy & Commerce to the Republicans, and is threatening to let the health care bill bypass the committee:

House Energy and Commerce chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA) says his panel's Blue Dogs must relent, or he and leaders will move health care legislation directly to the floor, bypassing the committee altogether.

This morning, he told reporters that Blue Dogs are trying to "eviscerate" the landmark legislation. "I won't allow them to hand over control of our committee to Republicans," Waxman said.

"I dont see what other alternative we have, because we're not going to let them empower Republicans on the committee."

All that claptrap about "fiscal responsibility" is bullshit --

...more (and it gets a lot better!)
