There goes another 50 Democrat seats. I hope they keep trying for another few months. The country is going down the tubes and all these blithering idiots can talk about is Health Insurance?
Wonder if they can get 51 votes these days
Best news I heard if true. I wonder of they can pass the house?
Geez, I can’t take anymore GOOD NEWS !
Keep Pushing, Ignorance is Bliss.
This should really fire up the Tea Parties.
What? Slitting their wrists was not enough? So now they have to jump into shark infested waters too. If they push Obamacare through as a reconciliation bill, expect a political tsunami in November.
ROFL
I have NEVER seen a political party try so hard to lose.
Then they are worse than we thought they were. Nothing but sleeze and crooks up there thinking about lining their own pockets. We shouldn not kick them out of office; we should make sure they get jail time for their corruption.
It would be impossible to expand medicare, for instance, because that wouldn't be an expenditure reduction, but an expenditure increase, therefor not allowed under the law. After the bill is scored by CBO - making the expenditure increase crystal clear, the House parliamentarian would strike that provision from the bill, gutting the bill.
Of course, these says nothing of the fact that Nancy wouldn't be able to manage 218 votes in her House, to say nothing of the 51 needed in the Senate. Obamacare is dead.
The tsunami would happen much earlier than that.
I still think it is possible for them to create the illusion that they've learned their lesson, have heard the people, and are going to concentrate on jobs from now on.
But after hearing Obamas recent speech, and reading this, it seems they have all signed a suicide pact.
Bless their tiny Alinsky-addled brains.
If they do this, they will lose majorities in both houses and the first order of business will be repealing their so-called victories.
They are totally owned by Soros and his surrogates.
DIM-oc-RATS: the party of “bend-over” policies. as in “here, bend over, you’ll like this”. A lot of Americans think NOT! Keep it u[p, you freakazoids.
