Last Call

And if it's not Joe F'ckin Lieberman screwing over the Dems, it's Evan F'ckin Bayh.
Evan Bayh (D-IN) said on CBS’s Washington Unplugged said that if fifty senators were dead set on getting a real public option they could always do that by using reconciliation. Reconciliation measures can’t be filibustered, so a bill brought up through reconciliation would only need a simple majority to pass (50 votes plus the VP).

Evan Bayh said, “If the people [who] want the public option in its fullest form are just adamant about that they can always just get that with fifty votes.”

In other words, Bayh has no intention of giving the public option Senate bill an up-or-down vote because it will pass.

Think long and hard about that tonight. I suggest doing so while holding your health insurance bill for this month.
