Let’s see:

Nancy has the votes....she said so herself.....oh wait, she doesn’t so lets try some slaughter rule.

We can trust Harry to get it done.....oh wait, House Dems don’t trust Harry or the Senate.

Barry only wants a simple up or down vote.....oh wait, let’s use reconciliation....

Democrats have a mandated majority....but they can’t agree on anything.....so blame it on those nasty republicans....

The true nature of the Democrats is becoming increasingly clear to the American public. They are arrogant, slimy elitists who will do anything or say anything to achieve the causes that they have decreed to be correct. To Hell will the country, it is all about them, power and the money.

Hopefully there are a few principled democrats still in the house that will vote on the principles that made this country great. They will vote to accurately represent the people who put them in congress and stop Barry’s government takeover of health care. November can’t get here soon enought.....

There are various names being given to this "rule", some have more mileage than others... Slaughter Rule, Chavez Rule, etc.

IMHO, the best I've seen, and perhaps to latch onto for maximum effect is: "The Zero-Majority Rule". Plays on the 60-vote, 41-vote, 50+1 vote, nomenclature... and has the added cherry-on-top aspect that it plays on 0bama/Zero (otherwise known as -21bama).
