democrats show their sleazy side
The Face of Sleaze
Quote:"Primus explained that the Senate will use the controversial reconciliation strategy that will have the House approve the Senate bill and both the House and Senate okaying changes to the bill that the Senate will sign off on by preventing Republicans from filibustering.
Well that doesn't sound that sleazy does it.... now for the dirtbag sleazy part.
Quote:“'The trick in all of this is that the president would have to sign the Senate bill first, then the reconciliation bill second, and the reconciliation bill would trump the Senate bill,' Primus said at the National Health Policy Conference hosted by Academy Health and Health Affairs.
“'There's a certain skill, there's a trick, but I think we'll get it done,' he said."
Obama signs the bill into law then it's ammended?!? This doesn't sound constitutional.
Can they get enough house democrats in Red States willing to end their career to vote for this?
Quote:Since it is inconveible that Democratic congressional leaders are moving in this direction without the knowledge of the White House, why call a health care summit and challenge congressional Republicans to come with their best ideas when the plan is already in place to use legislative trickery to pass Obamacare?
The most logical answer would seem to be that the summit is part and parcel of a White House/congressional Democratic strategy to distract attention from what is about to happen on the Hill. It's the classic magician's trick of distracting you with the left hand while the right hand does the "trick."
Once again the democrats are trying to slip something unpopular and unwanted past the unsuspecting public, November can't come soon enough.

RE: democrats show their sleazy side
The topic title gives the false impression they have another side that isn't sleazy.

Probably the most despised woman in America right now. Can anyone think of someone worse?
