Just as the Contract with America made the Congressional elections in 1994 a national referendum on the Democrats, so shall the Repeal It! campaign of 2010. The only sad thing is that Newt won't be the Speaker of the House when the Republicans replace Comrade Pelosi.
With clowns like Eric Cantor and Lamar Alexander on the Sunday shows claiming how suicidal this would be for the Democrats, it shouldn't be hard to figure out that reconciliation is a good idea.
I bet you wouldn't be singing that song if you were a politician up for reelection this year.Just do it!
The Republican Party's leadership has shown complete disdain for the will of the people for change, and continues to thwart efforts by the Democrats in Congress to provide universal healthcare to all Americans.
Hundreds of billions of dollars have been spent to wage war on terror, a freaking noun, without a peep from the chicken hawks as to its cost in blood and treasure.
Yet today the same fiscal neophytes on the right claim Obama&Co are breaking the bank by working towards the reform of how we pay for healhcare.
Worse, the Palin/Gingrich fringe run around doing the Henny Penny Polka, stirring up anger with divisive rhetoric and laying the blame on Democrats who were elected to fix the myriad of problems our nation faces today.
Except, of course, the WILL of the PEOPLE is clear. We don't WANT the bullshit which President Obama and Speaker Pelousy and "Leader" Reid are trying to peddle. See, for example: Health Care Reform - Rasmussen Reports
Accordingly, putting Fly Catcher's deliberate lie to the side, the reality is that it is the liberal Democratics who are the ones who are busy demonstrating complete disdain for the will of the people!
Only on the fringe Stalinist crackpot left can people keeping what is theirs be referred to as "welfare".Name one major social program that was passed by reconciliation.
Change like this should have the support of the public and both houses.
Bush's tax cuts; welfare for the rich.
Actually, no. In this case, they're right, as evidenced by the Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts elections in addition to numerous polls. Denying this simple fact is pretty stupid, IMO.With clowns like Eric Cantor and Lamar Alexander on the Sunday shows claiming how suicidal this would be for the Democrats, it shouldn't be hard to figure out that reconciliation is a good idea.
Indeed.

Nothing you say or do could ever "get under my skin", Krunchster...Your problem is the "why" the minority fears the legislation...
Because they know if it passes it'll upset their applecart even more in the long run, no matter how much political hay they make out of it in the short run.
Your hackism won't allow you to grasp that a.) we can't afford your Cadillac plan on a Hundai budget, and b.) the political repercussions of passage of such a widely unpopular bill via reconciliation (which anyone with >2 brain cells can comprehend)... Have you noticed that it's only the democrat party faithful clamoring for passage of the bill? No, of course you wouldn't...
<snip>
No, you remain clueless and blinded by your leftist stupidity, Krunchy...
The nastier you get, the more I know it's getting under your skin.
I'm gonna take the chance that this is a worthwhile longterm investment and keep rooting for it, thank you.

Although it's really not anything like a "nuclear option", despite the spin being put on it, I hope so, too.

When asked at this mornings White House press briefing, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs refused to rule out the nuclear option should a filibuster of the health care bill occur in the Senate. While emphasizing that he did not want to come to any conclusions before he knew the results of Thursdays scheduled bipartisan health care summit, he pointed out that the nuclear option the ending of a filibuster with a majority through point of order rather than the supermajority needed for cloture has a history of success for allowing votes on controversial bills.
The measure would most likely be necessary to break a filibuster given the uniformity with which Republicans have been voting and the fact that Democrats lost their supermajority upon the election of Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown. Reconciliation is a legislative vehicle that has been used on a number of occasions over the past many years, he said, citing the Bush administrations tax cuts in 2001 and 2003.

I can't figure out if reconciliation is the new nuclear option or not. Seems to me they - both sides - are using these terms interchangeably.

simple majority = reconciLiation = nuclear option, it just means one thing and that is bad for the democrats who push it
wow, this website can't spell reconcilitaion, hmmm weird
Link? I think you've been snowed by the talking points.Somebody remind me who it was that, in '06, told us all that reconciliation was against the very ideals of the Founders?
Big surprise.
And then you have the nerve to call someone a traitor.

Yep. No matter what they're calling it today it all amounts to the same thing.
