These progressives are so evil. When things don’t go their way, they just change the rules. You weren’t expecting pragmatism from these guys were you?
The Hill: Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) struck a confident pose about the prospects for healthcare reform in the Senate as Democrats scramble to put together plans to pass healthcare legislation after their special election loss Tuesday in Massachusetts.
“It’s not dead by any means,” Clyburn said during an appearance on CNBC.
Clyburn made a direct reference to budget reconciliation, a parliamentary maneuver allowing Democrats to sidestep the filibuster rules in the Senate requiring 60 votes to move forward with a piece of legislation.
“I have always said that the magic number on healthcare reform is 50, not 60,” he said. “And I do believe that we will have a healthcare reform bill, and we will have one that the American people can be proud of.” …
I guess they didn’t get the message the voters from Massachusetts sent them the other day. Just wait until November.

Health control will be the death knell of the Democratic party. Ramming it through with parliamentary maneuvers and VP tie breakers will seal their fate in November.
