If Necessary Use Reconciliation, Its Time To Just Do What Is Needed |
|
Edited on Sat Sep-05-09 08:24 AM by EV_Ares
It is time and if needed to do reconciliation and put thru not just a health bill but a health bill that is good along with the necessary reforms of the health insurance industry that has been shafting people all these years. A health bill that 47,000,000 plus people need, a bill that progressives and liberals want along with many Dem's. It is time to tell the republicans to go fuck themselves along with the media that went along with them on the town halls and now are going along with them regarding President Obama speaking to students.
I still believe in President Obama and give him credit for trying to unify this congress and pass bi-partisan legislation but the other side has shown time and time again, they are not interested in unification but only in their own power, wealth and the protection of the corporations that fund them along with the wealthiest Americans that support them. Every time President Obama has tried to work with them, they have compared him to Hitler, Fascists, Socialists, say he was not born in America, not a citizen, I would think that even he would be completely fed up and just work with the majority we now have in congress and kick the blue dogs in the ass and forget the rest.
All this BS going around, what is it going to take to fight back. That is all that the RWers understand. We can do it and I am just hoping they intend to do it in the end. If they don't sure, we could lose and probably lose big in 2010 unless something good happens. Worst of all, would be the ones left holding a empty bag with no health insurance in it or one that is not worth much of anything.
We can do better, yes we can, these guys just need to grow a pair and do it.

1. are you sure reconciliation is the answer |
|
as I understand it, there are interim votes that will still require 60 to go forward.
I don't think reconciliation will work without some repub help.

2. reconciliation is a mess |

maybe it will be necessary, but it will be one ugly bill.
