Are they fvcking INSANE?? I wonder how that story is going to play out:

"GOP shuts down hearing on homeless veterans due to temper tantrum."

God I hope the Democrats use each and EVERY ONE OF THESE SCENARIOS in advertising this fall....

The Republicans claim that the democratically elected majority is making a power grab by using senate loopholes to pass health reform.

Of course the majority wouldn't have to use a loophole if the minority didn't threaten to filibuster, a senatorial loophole.

The Republicans then in turn continue to fight it by delaying tactics using another senatorial rule loophole.

Can you say hypocrisy?

It'll be interesting to see what he has to say during the reconciliation process...that is, assuming he's in the office.
The real irony of it all is that a lot of what is in the bill was originally proposed by Republicans as a compromise when Clinton was trying to get reform passed. But taking credit for something you are voting against is just rich.
