Can’t be any more obscure than “deemed passed”

this is likely just more DC BS of the establishment RINOS trying to calm the public flames of the realization they have been betrayed (2015 budget). The Bonehead sees the writing on the wall and if he gets removed, obozo will be pissed.

Boehner will prevent any such thing.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Can you imagine the cry of joy throughout the country if it did?

The republicans were given a clear mandate last month and it meant nothing

we're stuck until the new congress is sworn in and even then we don't know what we have

personally, I want to see some caning and bloody noses .... but that's just me .... or is it ?

Bad news. Obamacare is already funded.

This is nothing but grandstanding. Nothing more.

I’m sure the GOP will have dozens of meaningless show votes.

The only Republican tool I know of is John Boehner.

It IS a budget issue!! We can’t afford it, in addition to the fact that it shouldn’t even have happened.

While Democrats will certainly have more leverage if they retain the ability to use the Senate’s filibuster, Republicans think they can work across the aisle to enact legislation on taxes and energy.

It is impossible to overcome such ignorance.

Reconciliation has been used primarily for omnibus spending bills, and otherwise for tax and budget issues. One notable exception was this:

The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (H.R. 4872) is a reconciliation bill passed by the 111th United States Congress to make changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. It was signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 30, 2010.

Can someone remind me who the leaders of the 111th Congress were? Wait, I think that I remember: Harry Reid was the Majority Leader of the Senate and Nancy Pelosi was the Speaker of the House. And what happened exactly seven days before the above Reconciliation was passed? Why, the Affordable Care Act was passed. Imagine those Democrats resorting to trickery to get legislation rammed through. Surely it can't be.

The democrat Republican leaders will hustle the filibuster back into existence, perhaps go way back to return it to a full two thirds. The last thing they want for the Republican Party in the Senate is to effectively oppose anything. TEffective opposition would dry up huge amounts of corruption money. The newbies understand that, too. That s why so many of them “cave” the first day they are in office.

And while Obama is certain to veto anything that tries to roll back his landmark healthcare law, Republicans increasingly see reconciliation as an important messaging tool to help paint a contrast with Democrats on Obamacare ahead of 2016.

All they care about is the damned "messaging." Eff the messaging. Pass the bills and force Obama to veto them. Period.

I hate these stories. It offends my intelligence.

It is all total bs to feed us conservatives, they expect us to buy this bullsh1ite.

Our kabuki rino/gop-e leaders have zero intention of doing this. We all know it. They have said so repeatedly. It won’t be done.

Just more GOPe trying to play the Republican base for fools. They gave up the one real tool they had to put some restraint on Obama when they funded the gov’t for the remainder of fiscal 2015, minus DHS, and how much would anyone bet they’ll do anything to restrain Obama’s illegal amnesty?

All this is just strategizing to decide how to continue hoodwinking the base into thinking they really are trying to oppose some of Obama’s policies and illegal actions.

So, the RINOs are going to just use it as a political wedge to organ-grind or to get reelected in 2016. It’s actual repeal means nothing to them.

The repukes have been “eyeing”, “contemplating “, “considering”, repealing Obolacare forever. How about the useless turds DO something, now that they control both houses? Yeah, I know they don’t actually control the Senate yet, but I will be absolutely stunned if they actually DO anything.

It was passed by budget reconciliation it will die by budget reconciliation.

“And while Obama is certain to veto anything that tries to roll back his landmark healthcare law, Republicans increasingly see reconciliation as an important messaging tool to help paint a contrast with Democrats on Obamacare ahead of 2016.”

Once again, this is just a ploy to get elected. Just like they pretended to be against amnesty in 2014.

Lying bastards. They’ll never do anything remotely conservative.
