Reid: Vote on Saturday, No Reconciliation

By Philip Klein on 11.19.09 @ 2:37PM

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has scheduled the first procedural health care vote for Saturday on a motion to bring his bill to the Senate floor.

Reid, according to the Politico, would not say whether he had the 60 votes he needed, and also ruled out reconciliation as an option for passing a bill.

Back in August, I called bluff on all of the reconciliation talk.

Objectively speaking, no certificate can take place of experience, but it doesn’t mean you don’t need the Microsoft certificate

If they pass this thing the "people" will finally see that Washington, both parties have no interest in the common citizen. We should not forget that when the Republicans held the majority they acted just like Democrats.

Work to vote out all Democrats including Blue Dogs. But, lets see how individual Republicans vote first. Vote out those that stray and support those who do not.

Vote them all out -- send such a shock to the politicians that they may just wake up and smell coffee. Makes no difference who gets in because the system is so convoluted -- all those newbies won't be able to agree on anything, nor have the "experience," to mess around, but perhaps will just sit there and say "Wow, this is new." Message: we won't put up with more nonsense.
