Taz, you don't get it, but that is not unusual for you. Because the GOP will not work with the Dems, Pelosi, who still controls the House including the Dem conservatives (all of whom will go along) and the Senate Dems, who will use reconciliation in the next term unlike it has ever been used before, is going to ram through legislation that FDR and LBJ would be proud of. Then the will campaign on it, saying the 23% of America who is Republican hates the 77% who is not, in 2012.
That is nothing more than your own speculation. The public overall was not approving of the use of reconciliation to pass health care deform and if they make a point of abusing it in the next Congress it will put them out of favor even more with the American people. Let them go campaign on abusing the Senate rules to force through an agenda most of the country doesn't want. I don't know where you've been lately, but the Obama agenda isn't exactly popular anymore.
