House GOP: Drop reconciliation if you want bipartisan talks

[IndianaGreen]

breaking on Keith Olbermann.

WaPo's Ezra Klein is reporting on this.

[Jennicut]

1. Uh huh...what are they so afraid of? Looking like the obstructionists they are?

Someone is scared.

:scared:

[niyad]

2. not to mention the rest of that ridiculous list--the repukes remind me of kidnappers issuing their

ransom demands. it is time to stop pretending that they have any interest in SERVING the american people.

[Clio the Leo]

3. Hey GOP ......... SUCK IT!!!

(sometimes that's all that's needed .... where do they get off playing hardball like that?)

Again ...... SUCK IT!!!!

[jenmito]

4. In other words, "Drop your advantage of being in the majority." n/t

[jenmito]

5. Ezra Klein thinks the Dems. may come back with, "OK, if you will allow an up or down vote."

:D

[secondwind]

6. this is IT. Obama will be taking the gloves off for sure, now. (I hope)!

[Orlandodem]

13. Write KO, Rachel, the White House, your Congressman. This must be the Dems response.

They will agree, in a bipartisan spirit, to drop procedural manuvers like reconciliation if the Reps in the Senate drop the filibuster.

[mod mom]

7. F-them. Even if Obama agreed to this (HE SHOULDN'T), they'd move the goal post again!

These assholes aren't looking out for the best interest of the country. PAST Time to say screw you to them and get to work to help the multitude of people who are hurting! Don't forget, * used reconciliation for tax cuts for the rich!

[The Wielding Truth]

8. HAhaHA! They want terms for it to be televised. They can't handle free speech.

[Enrique]

9. let's talk about that idea

at the bipartisan talks. :-)

[proud patriot]

10. "it's a trick get an ax" Bruce Cambell evil dead

[WatchWhatISay]

11. Oh yes! Stick you head in this oven, little Gretel

and see if its warm enough for me to bake you some cookies!

[Clio the Leo]

12. So this pretty much settles it, the Dems are going for reconciliation...

.... GOOD. If the GOP is already starting to spin against it (and the President is doing some preemptive GOP coddling in preparation for it.)

Very good news.

[w4rma]

17. Then the Dems can bring back the public option, too. (nt)

[usregimechange]

14. GOP: wait until reconciliation is used before asking us to drop it

[The Doctor.]

15. Jeebus H Tapdancing Christos!

They're like every lame villain in every bad fiction movie ever!

"Drop the gun, and I'll cooperate."

Fucking hell, if they listen then reality will have finally become officially stranger than fiction.

[cascadiance]

16. GOP! You should have stopped the obstructionism if you wanted to avoid reconciliation!

We've been there and tried to have done that for DECADES! You don't know what the word "bipartisan" means!

Eat it!

[drm604]

18. HAHAHAHA...

:rofl:

[quiet.american]

19. So, they've gone from the Party of No, to the Party of Hostage-Takers. nt

[LiberalFighter]

20. The choice is reconcillation with a Democratic bill

or bipartisan talks and a failed HCR bill?
