The Nuclear Option on Health Care Reform, Only 51 Votes Deal !

Politico: Reports that the Obama Administration might push its health care reform package through with only 51 votes. As reported in the Liberal New York Times at the start of August, the Democrats in the Congress have already passed a framework that would allow them to use the 51 vote margin to win the debate. The Democrats would use the reconciliation procedure, an arcane Congressional method to by pass the 60 votes need in the Senate, and just use their majorities in both Congressional Chambers to pass the Health Care Reform Bill. The Republicans should allow the Democrats to own Health Care Reform, if like any other government run programme it will be slow and full of bureaucrats and lawyers, let Obama pass the bill and then when it goes wrong push it down his throat. Lets seen when old people cant get new drugs, when they are considered to old for new drugs, when they are advised to just fall of the perch, push it down the Presidents throat. Thus the Republicans will retake Congress in 2010 and the Presidency in 2012. If President Obama wants to play Chicago Dirty Pool, lets be more ruthless, let him own Health Care Reform, and the minute it passes start to list his name as the man that destroyed the health care of the USA and then show the pictures of the people this HIS Bill have destroyed because of his ideological arrogance.
