so says Iowa Senator Tom Harken…
Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, responded Tuesday to widespread criticism that Democrats only garnered the 60 votes needed to defeat Republican stalling tactics on the health reform bill by catering to self-interest, saying Democrats are focusing on the big picture; “trying to cross a demarcation line.”
Harkin dismissed deals dubbed vote-buying by GOP senators as “small stuff” that distracted Americans from the primary focus of the overhaul bill.
Senator Harkin, you don’t get to decide that, we the people do. Also, a large majority of we the people don’t care for your health care bill.
