Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid may be one of the sleaziest scumbags to step foot on the floor of the US Senate, but let’s give his sleaziness credit where credit is due. He covered the butts of virtually every Democrat in the Senate the best he could by picking the absolute most opportune time to put the Healthcare Abomination Bill up for a vote. I wish I could write here and say that they won’t get away with it because we won’t let them, but the fact of the matter is that they’re going to get away with it… they already have.

The war isn’t over, though.

Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid’s sleazy counterpart in the lower house in Congress, still has to find a consensus in the House of Representatives, which she has pretty miserably failed at since becoming Speaker of the House three years ago. What they SHOULD do is take the Senate Bill and just vote directly on that. However, Nancy Pelosi’s pride won’t allow for a bill to come through the House of Representatives without amendments. What’s more, lawmakers on both side of the isle aren’t going to want to pass this bill without hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars additional pork added to the legislation.

So assuming that Speaker Pelosi can reign in her party enough to get what she needs to pass a House version of the Bill, the Senate is going to sit down with the House of Representatives and hash out the differences… then the new legislation will have to go before both the House and Senate for a final vote. Finally, after all that, it goes to the President.

I know we discussed this earlier and it met with a lot of negative reactions, but Republicans should go out of there way to make this such terrible legislation that no moderate Democrat in their right mind would vote in favor of it at the end of the day. We need every tool in our arsenal to have this bill indefinitely tabled and destroying the bill through socialist amendments that trample civil liberties and offend the conscious are a weapon we’ll need. To hell what the RLC has to say about it.
