    Default Maxine Waters Urges Obama to Pass Health Care Using the "Nuclear Option" - Video

    9/7/09

    Here is video of ultra-Left Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters yesterday on MSNBC where she urged President Obama to use the "Nuclear Option" in the Senate to pass a Health Care Bill with a "Public Option."
    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/K_gWxFGXOnI&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en& feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/K_gWxFGXOnI&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en& feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>


    Waters actually urged Obama to use "parliamentary procedure" to take advantage of the "reconciliation process" to pass a bill in the Senate on a majority vote. This would bypass the "Cloture" rule in the Senate, which requires 60 votes to bring a bill to the floor of the Senate for a vote. The "reconciliation process" has often been referred to as the "Nuclear Option."

    "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."
    Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC)

    I agree with SM... the democrats are shooting themselves in the foot by not cramming health care reform down the republican's throats.

    we won the election... we have control of both houses of congress and the white house.... get 'er done.

    Default Already, 23 Dems have said they will vote ‘no’ on healthcare reform




    Already, 23 Dems have said they will vote ‘no’ on healthcare reform

    At least 23 House Democrats already have told constituents or hometown media that they oppose the massive healthcare overhaul touted by President Barack Obama.

    Most Democrats opposed to healthcare reform argue it costs too much, imposes a new tax and fines businesses that don’t provide insurance to employees. Some fear that the bill would subsidize abortion.


    Many other Democratic members, including those berated by protesters at raucous town hall meetings in August, are still undecided.
    A lot could change before the vote, expected late this month.

    When speaking of the democrats in congress, I would have to agree with you.

    If we can't pass government option health care reform, shame on us.

    Democrats want the power to control if we live or die, but they want to stay in office more. You fucking pussies: wimps, chickens, weaklings, doormats, wusses. LOL

    You'll still vote for the fuckers regardless. Obama could sell nukes to Iran and you'd be OK with that. LOL

    not so.

    I'll vote for democrats as long as their platform encompasses more of my personal core beliefs than the republican platform does.

    and until that day, I will vote for democrats with a vengeance because I KNOW that politics is a team sport and only when your team is in the majority can you get anything of substance accomplished

    A Democratic Senate
    A Democratic House


    Still can't get it done! That is indeed pretty week! No wonder approval rating for this House is so low it's under the scale.

    Health Care Reform

    A Surgeon General who is obese will oversee it
    A Treasury Sec who cheats his taxes will fund it
    A Committee Chairman who can't understand it
    Senators and Congressmen who haven't read it


    What a plan!!!!! ROFLMAO
    If you continue to think the way you have always thought, you will continue to get what you have always got!

    A government big enough to provide you everything you need is big enough to take everything you have!

    and do your personal core beliefs include ever increasing taxes on workers and companies, bloated and more expensive government, $2 trillion plus annual deficits, the doubling of the national debt in a mere 8 months, the US government deciding who gets medical treatment and who does not, vets being coached to take their own lives so they will not be a burden to the VA health system, and elected Dems insulting and smearing voters at town halls who openly disagree with them?

    Based on your posts - I would have to say "Yes" to all the above

    It is laughable how the Dems, Obama, and the liberal media are trying to blame the MINORITY Republicnas, talk radio, and Fox News for their inability to pass Obamacare

    The fact is, Obama does not need a single Republican vote to mpass anything. It is Dems who are preventing the Federal government from taking over the private health ins industry

    There are some Dems who see adding $3 trillion to the national debt is not a good thing. Sadly, only a few out of the Dem majority are speaking out - and they see the polls and are sweating bullets over their reelection chances

    Stop me if this sounds too simplistic, but, I assume this thread was created to show 'look what the dems will do (i.e. "go nuclear") to get this bill passed!' and yet in this thread you guys have been mocking dems for NOT (as of yet) forcing this through?!?!
    That train of thought is surly madness, or at the very least purile.
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.
