POLITICO Breaking News: -----------------------------------------------------
Sen. Tom Harkin tells POLITICO that Senate Democratic leaders have decided to go the reconciliation route for health care reform. The House, he said, will first pass the Senate bill after Senate leaders demonstrate that they have the votes to pass reconciliation in the Senate.
He can over rule but he cannot stop the puttin forth of amendments by the Senators. At least that was what Krauthammer said on Monday (I think, or maybe Friday past).
Let’s use the same terminology that the Leftists used on us.
It was called “the nuclear option” when Republicans
considered this option for getting Fed. judges passed
through the senate. Now it is the nicey-nice term
of reconciliation. I hate those bastards.
They can keep proposing amendments, but at some point it will get cut off - probably after a few days.
The best tact, is to work to kill this in the House.
Yeah, Ok, I’m an idiot. By November, Football season will be back, American Idol will be on, the Obama media will be in full swing, and people like me who have been stabbed in back too many times from “conservatives”, will be ridiculed for refusing to back candidates who suddenly remember their base in even numbered years. They got us into this mess, them and those who said electability was more important than principles (Specter-Toomey, anyone?), why should now be any different?
Nope, I’ll keep my dumb, uneducated self, that way by supporting my local conservative candidates only, and leave the Lindsey Graham on the road to Damascus revelations and pronouncements to those who still believe in a GOP who is more afraid of the New York Times than their own constituents..
Let’s not take the chance, though.
We must do all that we can. If we lose, we go to Plan B.
If they can pass it on reconciliation, why can't we repeal it on reconciliation.
Continue to be astounded by the arrogance! The American people have spoken, we do not want this!
What exactly did Obama and Crew think of a million American citizens taking time out of their lives to March on Washington? Did they perceive it as a common, everday kind of occurrence? What of the grillings that took place at Town Halls? Of recent election results? Of the rise of a truly grass roots TEA pary? Of Sarah Palin’s popularity?
So now I think back to what candidate Obama said of creating a some sort of civil defense force as well funded and armed as our US Army. I think back to it and of all that has unfolded in recent months and really do not belive it to be too far of a stretch to expect Obama driving this country into a large scale conflict within our own borders.
Bring it. Then reap what you sow in November.
Screw Nov., what makes you think we’ll have a country by then. These people have totally ignored the will of the people they are supposed to represent. Bastards
“Who cares what you think?” (if you are a person that opposses
Obamacare/Obamanomics)....
BUMP

Democrats misuse their power in an effort to control the population.
DNC should change its name to Socialist DNC.
BTW, send those post cards in to Democrat Congress people . . . you can locate addresses at http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml
His plan is to fundamentally change the USofA . . . he keeps talking “democracy” and we’re NOT a Democracy, we are a REPUBLIC! Democracy is mob rule.
FReepers, please pay attention to mw18787's words:
That won’t be enough. Biden can overrule the parlimentarian at any time. The Senate cannot be shut down indefinitely.
Kill this in the House, now.
Burn up the phone lines. Please!
The House would first need to pass the Senate bill. Ain’t gonna happen.
Good question. The monstrosity could be repealed by reconciliation -- assuming we have a GOP House and Senate next year - but there is a certain a--hole in the White House who would veto any such repeal through January 20, 2013. And the GOP would never have the 2/3 majority in both chambers to override a presidential veto.
A government shut-down as the next option? Well, when the GOP controls the presidency, it is the GOP fault if the government shuts down. If the GOP controls the Congress, it is the GOP Congress' fault for the government shutdown.
By 2013 it will be too late.
A few days ago, Pelosi tried desperately to change the term "Reconciliation" to "Simple Majority". RAT bastards.
Nutmeg, the vitriol that the left is using is no doubt part of a plan to incite CW2. I believe now more than before Obama wants this to declare martial law and become dictator for life.
America is like an abused wife, life goes back to normal between beatings like it never happened.
My CongressRAT John Larson was just on Fox, declaring what a "crisis" our current health care system is in. Look for the word "crisis" to come out of the RATs' mouths often over the next several days...
They don’t care.. They’ll be back in power in 4-6 years after the RINOs muck everything up again.
