We all knew that our elected freaks in the Senate can use the tool know as reconciliation to ignore their own rules and pass legislation by simple majority. While unorthodox, it is majority rules and so while a bit frightening on the surface doesn't seem to spell doom for the Republic.
But who knew that the House could pass troublesome legislation (read wildly unpopular) without even voting on it. Sort of like the Dope himself voting present every time a thorny issue came up. There is something brewing in the house called the "Slaughter strategy" named after Louise Slaughter, Demo-Dope LA. The Slaughter strategy would allow the Demo-Dopes in the House to amend the Senate Dope-a-care bill before passing it. Then after supposedly "fixing" the Senate bill with House amendments, the Speaker of the House, Grand Dragon Lady Peloser, would simply "deem the Senate legislation passed" without the bill ever coming to the floor of the House for an actual vote.
Gee, Lex has always thought of the political class as low-down, half swine, half weasel, cowardly bags of excrement, but this that description to a new low. That description may have to be reserved for the good guys if this strategy is pursued.
Soooo, Dope-a-care is so popular that debate has to dragged on over a year, the Dope has had to cancel his over seas trip to twist Demo-Dope arms, the Senate has to shatter it's own rules and the House has to pass the 2,700 page pile of crap they haven't read without ever voting on it. Hmm, maybe it isn't that popular.
So while bending of Senate rules may not spell the end of the Republic, Demo-Dopes not facing the most humiliating defeat in political history this fall may.

Stimulus and Cap and Trade Bills are passed at midnight with no one reading them. Obamacare House and Senate bills are still not understandle with hundreds of millions of dollars given as vote bribe money. And now the process of passing the bill, which mysteriously includes an admendment allowing the government to control student loans, may happen as a result of some other mysterious way of voting but not really voting. Stalin, Castro, Pol Pot have nothing on these guys. It all sounds like the dictorial manuerving of some third world island nation and not the good old USA. I predict that Cap and Trade will be next as the Senate uses reconscillation to slam this one through. Why not? The demo-dopes collective gooses are cooked anyway. What else can they do once they crack the "reconsile" egg? I guess anything. The Griffin.
