Democrats will happily accept responsibility
GOP’s Michael Steele says he will hold Democrats responsible for their health-care votes in the upcoming elections [“Next health-care vote today,” News, Dec. 22].
Democrats should be happy to be held responsible for their votes on this monumental legislation.
Republicans also fought tooth and nail to stop both Social Security and Medicare when they became law.
I thank God that the Democrats are again accountable for their votes, and that we will look back at this legislation as doing the right thing for the public, while the Republicans again were on the wrong side of this important issue.

Dino Rossi didn’t want to tell us what the acronym GOP stands for.
But now we know: Grand Obstructionist Party.
