Dems Set Stage for 'Nuclear Option' on Healthcare

Sensing that they don't have the votes to attain passage of the ominous 2-trillion-dollar government takeover of healthcare, now known in the Senate as the 'Baucus Bill,' Democrats have set the stage to pass the measure using what is known as the 'nuclear option.'

The nuclear option is a parliamentary maneuver that the majority Party can use to pass unpopular legislation with a mere 51 votes as opposed to the normal means of garnering 60 votes.

Obviously Senate Democrats are aware that they don't have the 60 votes needed to approve ObamaCare, which means they know that some Democrats, fearing for their jobs, will vote 'No.'

Read the entire story of the underhanded means by which Senate Democrats intend to shove ObamaCare snake oil down the public's throat here at Human Events.
