I like the way David sums it up. Democrats will do literally anything to pass this abomination. As much as I hate the Republican congress under GWB, they never tried "Deem & Pass" with anything remotely resembling the importance of Healthcare reform.
This is pure and simple, a way for Democrats to avoid voting on the senate bill. Voters are smarter than they think and they will get hammered for this in November (thank God). I can now only hope that the Republicans use every procedural and parliamentary contraption known to the Senate to obstruct the Reconciliation process - especially the union giveaways.
"Yes, my own view may be distorted by the fact that I’m disappointed in the health care bill. But at least I violently opposed the nuclear option when the Republicans tried it a few years ago. I don’t think it is mere partisanship that makes me believe that representatives should have the guts to actually vote for the legislation they want to become law."
