The Hill:

Top Blue Dog: Slaughter solution is ‘poison’

The co-chairwoman of the Blue Dog Coalition says that using a controversial “deem and pass” mechanism to pass healthcare reform would be “poison.”

In a conference call with reporters today, Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (D-S.D.), who is a “firm no” on the bill itself, said the process Democrats are considering would spell disaster for the climate in Congress.

“While deeming, like reconciliation, has been used by Republicans and Democrats in the past, the context in which it would be used in this case leads me to conclude that it would poison an already terribly partisan atmosphere and leave the Congress even less able to find bipartisan solutions to fiscal problems that are on the verge of becoming overwhelming,” Herseth Sandlin said.

The “deem and pass” mechanism would allow Democrats to avoid a direct vote on the Senate bill and instead “deem” it to have been passed only when they make changes.

    As far as I am concerned, these people have forfeited all sense of Constitutional legitamacy. This is Gotterdammerung, Ragnarok and the Apocalypse all rolled into one.

  • Tim Roesch – pseudo intellectual

    This is a Saul Alinksy tactic. Use the rules of the system to bring the system down.

    This suggests a long term conspiracy. What is the history of reconciliation and ‘deeming’? Find that and I bet you will find the conspirators somewhere.

    This is just too good a handle for the destruction of the US Constitution to simply ‘fall out of the sky’.

    I wonder if her “firm no” will stay if Obama comes and campaigns for her. Maybe we have one that’s not willing to sell her soul to the devil (obama).

      I doubt it; remember Kucinich sold out for a plane ride. What a cheap date! This bitch would probably sell out if the Annointed One passed with 10 feet of her and gave her the “look”.

      Dims are nothing but whores waiting for a John to buy another Bongo crack rock.

    A House corrupted must not be allowed to stand. Consent to govern is withdrawn. The only way this Obama administration can nationalize BOTH the health industry and education funding (also in THIS BILL) is to lead us to Slaughter.

    This American is mad as H*ll and I’m not going to take it anymore!

    March on Washington March 20th! KILL THIS BILL
