McConnell: 'Not clear' if GOP can stop reconciliation on health care

The Senate's top Republican told Fox News' Chris Wallace that he wasn't sure if he could stop the Senate from passing health care reform if budget reconciliation was used. Reconciliation circumvents the filibuster and would allow Senate Democrats to pass reform without any support from Republicans.

McConnell is uncertain if enough Democrats oppose the plan to defeat the bill. "There'll be a lot of Democrats who will vote against it," said McConnell. "Whether there will be 11 Democrats who will vote against it is not clear.

1. McConnell is "not clear" about a lot of shit. Hs is one of the most assinine people

to hold public office, even in today's Senate, which is no small accomplishment.

An absolutely first rate hypocrite.

4. Sending a signal the RATpubliCONs need to get on board HCR

Annual increases of 40-60% are being sent out and the public feels completely taken in by RATpubliCON/TeaBagger Bullshit

This won't bode well for the RATpubliCONs if they keep up their rhetoric against meaningful HCR
