Harry Reid before and after last night's vote
A delusional Harry Reid said of last night's 60-39 Senate vote clearing the way for debate on an economy wrecking healthcare bill that massively and unsustainably expands the size and cost of government that "Democrats are at third base headed for home." But the reality is very different. Last night Democrats singled to left field and are about to hit into a Republican double play as Reid does not have, and cannot get, the 60 votes needed for a "strong public option," or anything triggering such a dangerous budget busting deficit exploding thing.
Republicans turn a double play on a ground ball hit by
Democats aiming for the grand slam disaster of nationalized healthcare
Postscript: Blanche Lincoln
Will the Senator with the surname of the first and greatest Republican President stay the course and oppose the Public Option-thus saving the Union from the nightmare of socialized medicine? Keep in mind that Sen. Lincoln won her Senate seat in 1998 during the Clinton Administration; and that she represents Arkansas the state that gave birth to Clinton and that he governed for many years. Clinton was the Democrat President that failed to nationalize healthcare with a Democrat majority in Congress (see). Lincoln will remain in the anti-Public Option camp and along with Joe Lieberman kill the reckless sick socialist dream of nationalized healthcare*.
*Blanche Lincoln was born in 1960 the year John Kennedy won the presidency. JFK with a super Democrat majority in the Senate lost his national campaign to pass Medicare legislation.
