Another distinguished colleague of Senate Republican Judd Gregg, and recipient of the finest government health insurance we taxpayers can provide, fearmongers about reconciliation.
Just one problem. Judd Gregg loves reconcilation, especially when it results in tax cuts for the wealthiest:
Hey guess what? We don't need John McCain's vote on health insurance reform because a Presidental nominee John McCain stood steadfastly opposed to Obama's platform. The platform that beat McCain's by mandate sized margins.
And we don't need Judd Gregg's vote either, because, as he put it: "Is there something wrong with majority rules? I don't think so. ... The point, of course, is this: If you have 51 votes for your position, you win."
