Senate Democrats may go into the bipartisan health care reform summit later this month holding a legislative gun to Republicans' heads. Some Democrats are readying a health care reform "Plan B" in case negotiations at the half-day televised forum on Feb. 25 go nowhere.

The parts that are reconciled have to go through a 60 vote for cloture in the Senate.

Republicans should stand fast and insist the White House and the Democrats start over. The Democrats can try to ram the bill no one wants through Congress but they'll pay the political price for it in the fall. Actually its an empty threat and every one knows it.

An empty threat is no threat at all.

Plan B is a suicide pact for the Democrats. It would gurantee the end of Dem marjoities in both the house and senate, and make Obama a one term president.

The Republicans should call their bluff.

Their plan does not include Republicans. They are just suckering the stupid RINOS in to a trap.

They ought to rename this the “democrats in permanent minority option.” Of course, I have to question what the heck the Republicans are thinking. Obama will simply get them to the table, lecture them as to how they should suppor the current bill, make a big show out of how he tried to work with the evil Republicans but they refused and then sigh and state how he had no choice but to use the “democrats in permanent minority” option.

Even a RINO isn’t this stupid, so any RINOS who agree to anything here has been BOUGHT.

Hold out for Plan B. Let’s see them implement their threat against We the People. And then own it, hook line and sinker.

Tar and feathers ... one of the traditions we should resurrect.

I don’t know, but the market value of bribes has gone through the roof, of late ;-)

You think he's planning to hold fair elections? Chavez didn't let a little thing like losing the recall election stand in his way, he just declared himself the winner.
