Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid threatened on Tuesday to use a procedural maneuver to steamroll opponents of health care reform, even as a Senate panel began delicate negotiations over a package that could have the best chance at passing.

“He should worry about keeping his job.”

I’m not sure if that is an incentive for someone who is going to lose it anyway. His polling numbers are in the basement.

On the brighter side, I watched some of the markup of the Baucaus plan today. It isn’t near the marxist pile of dung that is HR 3200, nor a design to blow up the employer provided insurance model with a socialist bucket at the bottom.

I am still opposed to it, however, on the grounds that the constitution does not grant the United States authority to meddle in health care, among others. On a note more realistic of the political envionmrnt we are in, if they ripped out everything but the insurance exchange sans the standardiztion of plans, and discontinued the tax credit for employers providing insurance it would go alot farther in reducing cost for everyone involved than all of the regulation and taxes this thing adds.

There will be a day when that corrupt, filthy f’in puke Harry Reid and his fellow ‘Rats will be on their knees (sit down Barney Frank, you idiot) and begging, pleading and whining for mercy from REAL Americans who will be taking them to a courtroom where they will account for their treason.

Then Judge Fenton will tell Schmidt to do his duty.

Why is this a threat? Usually you threaten someone to get them to change their behavior in some way. What change in behavior is he looking for? Who is he threatening? If the Dems can use the nuclear option and nobody can stop them then they are free to go right ahead and do so. The American people have foolishly given them that power and they can use it if the choose. So what’s up with threats? I don’t get it.

that’s why Barry doesn’t want to move troops from here to Afghanistan.

You really think the military has his back???

I think he’s got a “Honduras” problem in his future and when nobama’s herd pushes instead of mostly talk, it will happen.

Dingy Harry’s power doesn’t come from LV Mormons. He was Nevada Gambling Commissioner and his base is the Mafia AND all the damn libs that moved to LV from kalifornia.

He should worry about keeping his job.

He added earmarks to the HC bill which are intended for a hospital in NV. That usually works.
