Reconciliation to pass Health Care Bill? Republican leader Mitch McConnell is whining about Harry Reid say that we will use reconcilation, Mitch says that nothing like this has been done before. Well lets just refresh the Republicans memories, Bush passed his trillion dollar tax cuts for the Rich using reconcilation and I am pretty sure that passing Health care is more important than tax cuts for the rich.
Will the Republicans cry foul and have a hissy fit when Democrats use reconciliation?
They have said that Americans want Bipartisanship. Well if that is true than why have they been acting anything but bipartisan? Republicans have used more filibusters in the last Congress than almost all other Congress's combined since we started to use it. Is that Bipartisan? The majority of Democrats polled say we need to pass Health care regardless if Republican support.
Other than a hissy fit what more can Republicans do to Democrats as they have not been helping so far with the exception of 3 Rhino's they have voted against everything else Obama has laid out.
