      Really not so much of a nuclear option if you put it in the context of the current states of the Democratic and Republican parties. On the one hand, we have an ideologically driven Republican party where the leadership forces party line votes and uses elections to punish those incumbents that refused to conform. The Democrats by contrast are a divided party, timid and fearful of retribution from their K Street benefactors. This cuts to the heart of the difference: Republicans are willing attack and filiuster, the democratic leadership is reluctant to use reconciliation for fear that they'll be seen as rammning the bill through Congress.

        It's NOT a nuclear option, AT ALL.

        The NUCLEAR OPTION involved changing the rules of procedure, to prevent further debate.

        RECONCILIATION is an exisiting process that has been used time and time agains by both parties, for a variety of reasons.

        It's nowhere near a 'nuclear option not by a damned sight. Morris is LYING THROUGH HIS CROOKED TEETH.

      Morris is just wrong. There will be no recognizable change in health care before the next election cycle and the elderly won't care.

      Why would anyone think Morris knows anything about politics? He hasn't been right for a very long time.

      They come from Red States..DUH, they are the Senators from the Red States. Maybe the Repubs voted for them because that is who they wanted.
      Dick, when you get the most votes in a election for Senator in your state, no matter the color code, you win the Senate seat.
      We know you are afraid that when the Insurance Reform Plan passes, people will like it and your kind of people will slowly disappear.
      I hear Rupert Murdoch is beginning to lean left because of all the lies he hears on Fox. Any truth to that rumor?

        We might have to ask ourselves what makes these Red States, anymore. I mean, if they voted in Dem senators and they voted for Obama, are they still Red States?

        I wonder if Morris has looked at the new map - only five Red states left, and they don't have very many electoral votes. Morris gets any more marginalized and he won't be able to afford hookers anymore.

      Um. What?

      These Democrats should vote against health care reform because they're from one side of an imaginary line?

      Whatever you say, Dick.
