That's not creeping; that's dead!  I'm talking about things that have 
been done *to* us, not done *for* us ... creeping incremental means a 
little here, a little there, and pretty soon you'll find you have to 
take your shoes off to go into a polling place.

So let me edit that: incremental change is the way for Republicans to 
get things done in this country.


> What's changed this time around?

Sorry to mislead: I wasn't saying that health care is getting 
incremental change with this bill; I was positing that getting a little 
*starting now* might be a good thing going forward!

Again, relative to throwing the whole thing out.  Which Doug (and 
apprently every Republican) wants to do.
