Yes. You’re right and I’m wrong. Reconciliation cannot be filibustered.
However...the repeal of RomneyCare wouldn’t be automatic because it was originally passed by reconciliation. It would be a new bill and a new Senate, and it would have to itself meet the requirements to qualify to be eligible for reconciliation.
Most importantly, the Repubs would have to control the Senate even for that to happen. It’s possible with a 48 Dem, 8 tossup, 45 republican current election map, but it’s easier for the Dems to retain control than for the republicans to take it.
Finally, the Senate bill itself was not passed by reconciliation...it passed by a 60-39 vote in the Senate, so reconciliation wasn’t needed.
It was the Senate/House conference refinement of the bill with the House that required reconcilation.
As always, that assumes a rino-proof Senate. None of the rinos had to show their true colors in the original vote, because the dems had 60 votes already. The rinos were able to stay hidden.
As opposed to those who are working diligently (WITH DEAR LEADER'S TACICT SUPPORT) to DESTROY OUR REPUBLIC?
COME ON Diogenesis, GROW A PAIR and give us some "FACTS" as to HOW and WHY, Mittens is more DANGEROUS and a THREAT to our Republic than is Dear Leader?
The Muslim Brotherhood Agenda as outlined in 1991 in Phildelphia:
Though we are all aware of Obama's proclivity towards appeasing Islam and Islamic Republics; his negotiating with our enemies (Taliban); his release of captured Terrorists; his support of the "Arab Spring" in the ME which has led to the takeover of those countries by Radical Islamists; etc, many are not aware of what he has done to facilitate their (Islamists) acceptance and appointment to positions of "trust" within our own Government
Here are but 6 of those individuals:
Islam is a frontal attack on Christianity and Judaism and its time we understood this threat and called it what it is. We are not in a war on terror, which so many politically correct politicians would have us believe.
The whole world is, and has been for 1,400 years, in a WAR AGAINST ISLAM! If we do not stand up against this cancerous enemy, whose ultimate goal is to bring the entire world into submission to Islam and have all people worship none but Allah, then Western Civilization and human freedom as we know it will soon cease to exist.
America faces in addition to the threat of violent jihad another, even more toxic danger a stealthy and pre-violent form of warfare aimed at destroying our constitutional form of democratic government and free society. The Muslim Brotherhood is the prime-mover behind this seditious campaign, which it calls civilization jihad.
For a detailed description of who these individuals pictured above are, their goals and what damage they have done and the real threat they pose, see the following:
Muslim Brotherhood in America Part 8: Team Obama and the Islamists
IF after viewing this video, one does not come away with the resolve to do whatever it takes to defeat Barack Hussein Obama, then I worry about the future of our Great Republic.
PS: One should at least bookmark this most enlightening, informative, well researched and documented 10-part Series by Frank Gaffney (Muslim Brotherhood in America) and watch all of it as soon as time permits.
from page 261 of the paperback edition of The Audacity of Hope.
All it takes for .....
..... to triumph is for good men to do nothing.......!"
....you know, like staying home or writing in someone's name which is the same thing as affirmatively, voting for the closest most of us will ever come to WITNESSING PURE EVIL while still alive...Barack, Barry, Hussein, Soetoro, Obama.
"Oh yeah, we'll stand on 'PRINCIPLES' and show them what's what, then in 2016, we will really, REALLY, work to elect a true Conservative....."
Yeah, right, provided there is still a United States of America left as we used to know it.
Roman statesman and political theorist Marcus Tullius Cicero
I ain’t drinking the kool-aid either.
If the GOP wants to put Romney in, they’ll do it without me.
But you are happy to help Obama get reelected.
Great “conservative” position. :(
I do not disagree. However, you have two choices. A third choice does not exise, except insofar as to tacitly benefit Obama. Therefore, you have only two choices.
We are forced to deal with degrees of losing.
The only hope is to have such a mighty number of voices in the House and Senate that a slime like Romney will be forced to do the right thing.
Interesting point !
Then I’ll change my hopes ... instead of hoping THEY see the light, I’ll start hoping they are very few in number.
(I think they are, just very dedicated and determined to post everywhere)
You do NOT win by choosing a PHONEY LIAR who has history
of helping the OTHER SIDE, and in the case
of Team Romney, simply LYING about it.
It isn't about our nation or freedom with any of these guys. They've just found an outlet that lets them pretend their pride and petulance is principle. They are weak and ill. |
“”I respect the decision”
I don’t, I doubt the four dissenters do, and I even doubt Roberts does. He knows it was a silly, convoluted, ridiculous finding for political reasons. He sold his soul, and sold out liberty.”
Traitor John not only sold his soul, and liberty. His act was to sell out whatever was left of our Constitutional(limited) republic. He betrayed his oath, and what was formerly his country. This is why we have a desire for vengeance.

“Don’t put me in with those Obama supporte’
When it walks like a duck,quacks like a duck, it IS a duck.
When it campaigns for Obama, bashes Romney, does everything an Obama supporter would do, it IS an Obama supporter.
You are only upset because we see through your pretense.

1. Not vote for someone that could beat Obama. Bush beat Gore by 500 votes. So them not voting could give Obama a victory. obama will then be laughing at us , and will be further enslaving us and turning the U.S. into South Africa where they are doing a genocide against whites which the media is hiding.
2. Vote against Obama so this smug communist POS gets humiliated and also the media gets humiliated and beat. Also Obamacare will be repealed so Obama and the smug media get further beat and humiliated.Just these 2 things are enough for me to vote against Obama.
