Senate Republicans say they will use every parliamentary tactics in the book to really punish the Dems if the Dems push through health care nationalization via "reconciliation" that unfairly limits debate, etc., utterly against all Senate tradition on what the reconciliation process is for. I won't believe it until I see it. They (GOP senators) have made such pledges many times before, but they always capitulate like emasculated chihuahuas when the time comes to really act. That's what they did in mulitiple failed battles (or non-battles, because they didn't really fight on judges. And, considering that it is dififficult for invertebrates to find spines, that's what i fully expect again: Craven capitulation without having achieved much of anything. I sure hope I'm wrong.

Remember what happened last time Repubs showed some guts and killed socialized Hillarycare? They WON BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS! Can the current crop of Stupid Party members (Thank you Sam Francis) actually look back 15 years to glorious victories of old , renew and reinvigor it's values, and once again become the majority party by saying NO MORE SOCIALISM?!! Use the S word! make it a talking point! Hammer it home! NO MORE SOCIALISM!
