Gee, and I didn&#039;t even remember &#039;43 ever being in Congress.  Unless, of course, you mean &#039;41 in his dictator years.  You&#039;re so full of crap, the whites of your eyes just turned brown.</description>

Come on. They will immediately spot you as From Away when they ask you a question and you do not reply “Ayuh” or when you call Snowe “dumb” instead of “numb.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;

    &lt;blockquote&gt;Let’s face it. The CBO had to work until the Dems got the numbers they wanted.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Please. People around here are more than happy to throw around CBO numbers when they suit their purposes.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

In the case of the denizens of this blog though, the CBO figures are used in the sense that &quot;even the CBO agrees with X&quot;, in the sense of &quot;even the NYTimes finds the Democrats to be hypocrites.&quot;

In the case of the Congress, the CBO is used to launder figures if possible.  No doubt irrespective of party.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Hmm, one guy uses it to let people keep what was theirs to begin with, and another wants to use it to take what isn’t his to do something he has no business doing.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So you don&#039;t object to reconciliation as a procedure &lt;em&gt;per se&lt;/em&gt;.  Just when it is politically expedient.  Gotcha.</description>

		<description>Like senators on both sides of the aisle have said, the Baucus Bill is DOA because of the 400B+ cuts in Medicare; the Dems are only putting it forth as a prelude, a springboard (excuse) for the reconciliation passage of a health care bill containing a government option, which has been their objective from the beginning.</description>

Chap isn’t a troll. He would never seek to irritate us about the planned Obamacare push-through.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

That quote wasn&#039;t about Obamacare.  That was just me remembering the halcyon days of milk and honey when Bush used reconciliation to pass three separate tax cuts!  Good times!</description>

		<description>Snowe needs to hear from the people of Maine. You can write her here (please be respectful):
http://snowe.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=ContactSenatorSnowe.Email

And, Mitch needs to hear from Republican donors. If Sen. Snowe votes for this, we cut off the money to her and the Republican party. If the Dems are going to go it alone, and Snowe decides to help, she can switch parties or fund her own campaign.</description>
