If he forces reconciliation the R's get to say "dictator" and the

[cliffordu]

label will stick, no matter what the facts are.....

They'll claim he is usurping the third branch of government...

1. too bad!!

They say that and worse anyway!!

[katkat]

2. who cares what the Rs say? Not me. n/t

6. +1

The minute an R opens his mouth - the TV gets muted.

3. And that would be different from what they say now because...?

[santamargarita]

4. Who cares

it's always right-wing projection anyway

[David Zephyr]

5. He won't force it. Feingold has it right: this is the bill Obama wanted all along.

There will be no reconcilliation. Tom Harkin said it won't happen as well.

7. I disagree

14. well...

Might I suggest an Alpaca?

10. If it passes by majority, it's more democratic than this shit. n/t

[librechik]

15. The Pukkkes will badmouth us no matter what we do--that can't be part of our motivations
