Dems Press GOPers To Repeal Their Own Benefits Along With Health Care Law

[XanaDUer]

"Democrats are basically powerless in the House, but they can force Republicans to take uncomfortable votes pretty regularly.

Using a procedural tool called the motion to recommit, Democrats forced Republicans to take a stand on whether or not members of Congress should receive federal health care benefits. The measure would have made repeal of the health care law contingent on more than half of all members of Congress opting out of the Federal Employees Health Benefit Program."

GOOD. Time to get nasty, Dems.
