Even if that jackass gets everything he wants, it can ALL be stripped out in reconciliation and the new bill with everything bad added back in can be passed with just 50 votes.

Yep, all they need to do is pass it.

Then they will rape it.

I hope that is not too strong of an analogy?

What are you talking about? Have you bothered to educate yourself before posting. Let's go over this slowly, maybe get a pencil.

  1. It's not reconciliation, it's called going to conference.
  2. It would be 51 votes not 50
  3. The conference report is subject to all the rules of the Senate including filibuster.
  4. If the public option is added back then the bill will fail in the Senate
Gosh you surrender moneky are an annoying ignorant bunch
