The Left and Health Care Reform

The Washington Post: In the WP E.J. Dionne states how the Democratic Leadership on the Hill can do a end run around the result in Mass, the article states the following, " The House would pass a version of the reconciliation bill containing the various amendments and send it to the Senate. ". This is the nuclear option if used by Democrats, it only takes 51 votes to pass a reconciliation bill, the problem is will the moderate and conservative Democrats really want to commit political suicide for the sake of Harry Reid and Speaker Pelosi, think of the nightmare for the Obama White House, they will have to defend the Act for nine months and then the Republicans will have one simple message, repeal the Obama's Health Care Reform, every day the same message, while health care reform bankrupts the country. If your a Republican you have to hope that the Democrats are that brain dead, thus we have seen articles in Politico, New York Times, and now the Washington Post, is it a trial balloon or a real deal. Lets see how the story develops folks.

Gallup Poll - Obama at 47%

Gallup: Reports on its latest daily tracking poll for President Obama, not good news for the White house, the President approval and disapproval are tied at 47%. Thus after the Mass vote and the election of Senator Brown, the attack on the banks and the idea that health care reform was dead the Obama ratings are still down, it might get worse folks, the Democratic Leadership on the Hill wants to push through health care reform by using Parliamentary tricks, thus Obama who might want to go on to other issues will be stuck with an Act that could cost him the House and Senate and could be fatal to his re-election bid in 2012. This is time for leadership from POTUS, he has to send a message to the Democratic leaders to back off, give him time to stress jobs, jobs and jobs. The Obama White House does not need to defend an Act it does not want now for the next nine months. The Republicans will have a simple message, repeal Obama's health care reform, and they will retake the Hill.

Liberals DON'T GET THE MESSAGE - Health Care Reform

The New York Times: It seems the Politico was on to something, Liberals want Reid and Pelosi to to an end run around the Mass vote, the very liberal Paul Krugman states the following on the process, " the suggestion that Democrats use reconciliation — the Senate procedure for finalizing budget legislation, which bypasses the filibuster....That’s a real option ". Thus you see that liberals don't listen anymore, they talk to themselves, it easy when you have nothing to lose, Paul Krugman even states that Democrats should not care if they get re-elected. Thus moderate and blue dog Democrats bolt now or your political careers are over, as stated Reid is finished anyway, he will be out of office in November and Pelosi could find that she is no longer Speaker after November. Thus they want to take the Democratic Party down with them, let them go down the political toilet, if your a Democrat and in the House and with a brain cell tell your Speaker NO.

Health Care Reform NOT DEAD IN THE WATER!

Politico: Reports that the Democratic Leadership in Congress, Senator Reid and Speaker Pelosi are planning an end run around the Mass vote, they plan to get the House to pass the Senate version of health care reform with no changes and then make changes by just getting 51 votes in the Senate. I really want the Democrats to do this, if they don't listen to the election of Senator Scott Brown in Mass of all places then they are tone def, if Reid and Pelosi push this through they will lose the House and Senate, and they will make sure that President Obama does not get re-elected in 2012. Lets be honest Reid is finished anyway, his polls are in the toilet in his state of Nevada, and Pelosi is safe in her very liberal district, its the rest of the Democrats that will take a dive to political oblivion, they will see the end of their political hopes. This is the time for moderate and blue dog Democrats to bolt, tell Reid and Pelosi to fall of the nearest cliff. Please Democrats do this, hand the House, Senate and White House back to the Republicans.
