Here is audio of Democrat Rep. James Clyburn telling liberal talk show host Bill Press that the "way forward" on Health Care Reform is to use the "Reconciliation Process" to pass a bill "as an Easter Basket." It also has audio of multiple other Democrats saying the same thing, that the use of the "Reconciliation Process" to pass a bill of some kind is a definite option. The "Reconciliation Process" has also been called the "Nuclear Option," and Democrats howled at even the suggestion of Republicans using that process to get Judicial Nominees approved during the Bush Administration. It was not used, but now Democrats seem to have no qualms at using it to push through ObamaCare. Such a process only requires 50 votes to pass a bill (plus VP Joe Biden), and bypasses the possibility of a filibuster by the GOP. . . . (AUDIO)

It’s not the Senate where the problem is it is the House. IMHO this is only crazy talk for the uber libs to keep them somewhat sane.
John Tanner (d) of Tennessee is retiring supposed to be a blue dog........in a pigs eye. He can vote for it and walk away clean.
They don’t care. They believe that if they can get it passed, then they have grasped the golden ring of socialism and the US is well and truly effed and that short of destroy the entire system and starting over, we will never get rid of it.
