I thought it appropriate to reprint my comments from August 20, 2009 (see below) as the reconciliation process, or Nuclear Option, is now thrown on the table of an angry American Public.
According to the Lame Stream Media, the Democratic Party and the Obama Administration, yesterday's Health Care Summit was organized by Obama in a public attempt to keep at least one of his campaign promises, to quiet his critics, and to hopefully regain some voter momentum in favor of this legislative beast.
However, the True intent of Obama and the Democrats was to paint the Republicans into a corner and then show America that republicans would not compromise but would only block a bill that 'is necessary for America." Obama was hoping to announce after this summit that he had done everything he could, blame the Republicans for gridlock and 'reluctantly' tell the Senate to pass the bill through reconciliation, as that would be the only way to save America.
Unfortunate for Obama, he tipped his hand by publishing his Obamacare Bill three days prior to the summit, effectively telling the Republicans and the country that the summit would be a sham, that there was never any effort on his part to compromise... that the summit was a 'take it or leave it' deal...
Unfortunate for Obama his lame handing of the mediation proved him to be uncompromising, dismissive and arrogant...
Unfortunate for Obama, he didn't have his teleprompter and he came off weak, unpresidential, petty, patronizing and ill informed...
Unfortunate for Obama, he let Pelosi speak first, her grating, lying words crescendoing in irritation to all that listened...
Unfortunate for Obama, Harry Reid continued to play the idiot as he denied that he nor anyone else had mentioned the reconciliation process to force this bill down the throats of an American Public whose majority rejects this bill by three to one... (seriously, is Reid that stupid??? he was quoted last sunday laying out his plans for the reconciliation option!)
Unfortunate for Obama, the American People see Obamacare for what it is, a Socialist Power Grab!
Unfortunate for Obama, the Republicans came to the summit prepared.
Yet the Greatest Tragedy...
Unfortunate for America, it's representative government, it's constitution, it's principles, it's freedoms and it's people... this New Government, led by Obama, redesigned by Obama, controlled by Obama, Reid, Pelosi and the Democrats, will force upon America and it's people the most costly, invasive, destructive, powerful, freedom of choice killing bill in the history of this once great nation, in Overt Rejection and Disdain to the Will of the People!
Unfortunate for America, when this Bill Passes through the reconciliation process, you can then say "I Told You So" to all the idiots who voted for Obama, you can then sadly state that you live in a socialist country, ruled by a socialit government which has more in common with the old Soviet Politbureau than the representative government that was once the envy of the world...

SENATE TO NUKE US
The "reconciliation" process, also known as the Nuclear Option, permits the 100-member Senate pass 'budget-related' items, under tight restrictions, with a simple majority, namely 51 votes.
For bills such as Health Care, a super majority is required by the rules of the Senate, namely 60 votes.
Because the democrats are unable at this time to get the votes they need for passage, as many Blue Dog democrats are balking at Obama's heath care bill as it is currently written, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and the Obama White-house are rewriting the Senate rules to allow the Senate to utilize the Nuclear Option without restrictions!
This is an unprecedented use of the "reconciliation" process. Never before has "reconciliation", or a simple majority of 51 votes, been used to pass a bill that will encompass 1/6 to 1/4 (or more) of our Federal budget (Canada's healthcare system costs an estimated 45% now, soon to be up to 85% of their national budget.)
By ramming health care through the Senate using 'reconciliation' this will spell doom for the democratically controlled house and Senate in the 2010 elections. This is a clear violation of the will of the people!
Why would the democrats commit political suicide by turning their backs on their constituents and the will of the people and their own party when use of the Nuclear option would most certainly spell doom for their party in the mid-term elections in 2010?
An example of how quickly congress will misrepresent and ignore the demands of their constituents:

Congressman Eric Massa (D-NY) states unequivocally his intention to vote AGAINST HIS DISTRICT on single payer health care reform:http://www.washingtontimes.com/weblogs/watercooler/2009/aug/16/video-rep-massa-i-will-vote-against-interests-my-d/
MASSA: I will vote adamantly against the interests of my district if I actually think what I am doing is going to be helpful.
MASSA: I will vote against their opinion if I actually believe it will help them.
