      This is one time I'd use the fear imagery of the mushroom cloud to stick it to these health care reform liars/deniers.

      When the Cons use reconciliation, it's just good ole' hardball politics. Like when Bush used reconciliation to give away billions in tax cuts to his rich friends. When Democrats use reconciliation, it's...

      Going nuclear, acting like a dictator, and running roughshod over the American people.
