Should Harry Reid force the GOP in the Senate vote on Paul Ryan's Budget?

Even though the repugs in the House have backed off?

1. My Concern Is That Blue Dogs Like McCaskill

and gang of sixers would cross party lines and get the thing passed.

[Pryderi]

2. ...and Obama would veto it.

[Me.]

5. But Would He?

[Pryderi]

9. Yes.

6. I agree...

...with you. Some of the blue dogs would likely cross party lines and pass it. That would be a slap at Reid's control of the Senate and would place Obama in a spot of needing to veto it. I don't doubt that he should/would do it, but that is a position Reid should never allow Obama to be in.

3. HAS REID PUT IT ON THE CALENDAR????

4. I wish "HELL YES' was an option

Reid should do what ever he can to make the minority party in the Senate show themselves in the "best" light. nothing would be more appropriate than having an up or down vote on the House budget proposal. And up or down vote, that's all I ask.

7. I read that he intended to but then read he dislocated his shoulder.

I'm hoping he recovers soon and puts the Ryan Plan to a vote in the Senate. It will make delightful attack ads.

8. Did Mitch McConnell push him down the stairs?

[AtomicKitten]

10. Nope but good guess! It was a simple slip and fall on wet pavement.
