C’mon deminazis put your ole john hancock on the dotted line. Don’t these putzes realize that if they create another entitlement, the entitled will seek leaders that can actually can manage something to keep their entitlement flowing. The desire for competency rarely works in the dem favor. Just sayin.

Longest suicide ever.
In the end, I don't think they'll get it done. There aren't enough of them willing to hari kari themselves for Pelosi and Obama.
Either way, they have boxed themselves into a miserable corner.

Clinton tried to use reconciliation to pass his plan as well.

This is a dog and pony show to appease the radical left base of the RAT party. The leadership knows damn well that the central elements of the legislation cant be passed through reconciliation because those items are not revenue/deficit related. Byrd (who wrote the reconciliation rules) and Conrad (chair of Senate budget committee) have even come out and reiterated this in recent days.

I hear she's a vicious shrew, but that still won't be enough to convince people to commit career suicide for her.
Maybe she'll buy them with cold hard cash. Uncle Soros will promise high paying corporate board positions to all those tossed for their "yea" vote.

To my mind I think Rahm would look better than peelousi in a skirt. I know he looks better than nasty in a tutu.
To: RushIsMyTeddyBear
Not to worry. Reid said that Democrats have never talked about reconsiliation. Yeah right!

I’d like to compare how they’d each look with a nice tar and feather ensemble.

There is no need for Reconciliation unless the Senate wants to change its own bill.
I still fear that the House will get the votes to pass the Senate version of the bill; the White House and the two chambers will be unable to get any changes all can agree on and, given no other choice (sarcasm), Obama will sign the Senate bill. It was approved in identical versions by both Houses, so it is ready to be signed into law.
This will infuriate a number of Democrats (in addition to virtually every Repub and Independent), but this White House doesn't care. Socialism triumphs.
Unless I am missing something (and I hope I am), I don't see the legal reason why Obama can't simply sign the Senate bill, as written, after the House approves it.
A cynical view, but, there is no honor with this bunch anymore.

No Rahm in a skirt, but this comes close.

I think if they really had the votes, and if they did not understand this is political suicide, they would of already done it.
