Zero Hour

Supposedly, ObamaCare passage in the Senate is right around the corner this Christmas. Harry Reid is working furiously to get it passed.

The Republicans are doing next to nothing as this goes on. It's hard to know what's in or out of the bill, and the Republicans could be doing the public a huge service by illustrating what's in the bill. If the bill is being hidden and not released, they could be working to highlight that. But as politically aware as I am, I can't tell you what the Republicans are doing. Which comes off looking like nothing.

If this passes, it will pass the House, and then get signed by the Super Genius.

Which will make repeal the number one legislative priority.

I'm tired of politics. Tired people will want to jettison the whole body politic, rather than spend the energy to parse and choose selectively.

That's the problem, nobody outside Reid's circle has seen this monstrousity. Other than Coburn and McConnell, I haven't seen any other Republican speaking out.

A bill nobody has read, that hasn't been scored by the CBO. This is criminal and everyone should be outraged at this. There is no need to ram this through without review, it doesn't even take effect for 4 years.

Of course who knows how it will be reconciled with the house bill.

Repeal will have to be it then. By the time 2012 rolls around I expect a big change in who controls the house and senate, with moving boxes delivered for the Obama at Christmas.
