Well, unless the Liberals can pull 100,000 votes out of their behinds, We have 41 Republicans in the US Senate. Don’t start celebrating quite yet. There are still a couple of dirty tricks that the Liberals can pull. They can use the “nuclear option,” Which would get rid of the 60 vote rule (because the 60 vote thing is just a point of procedure for the Senate), or the House could quickly vote on the Senates passed bill, negating the need for a compromise committee to unify the House and Senate bills for a final vote. If the House passes the Senate bill, then the President can sign it into law and it wouldn’t matter for “health care reform” if the Senate Republicans could block it or not.

There are a couple of other dirty tricks they could try, but I can’t think of them right off the top of my head.

Anyway, the most Liberal state in the Union, (guess who voted Democrat in Reagans 1984 49 state landslide) put a Republican into office. I don’t know enough about him to say he is a Conservative, because just because you are a Republican doesn’t automatically mean you’re Conservative and vice versa.

He is not against health care reform, but he is against this bill of health care reform. After the citizens of Massachusets have already suffered under a microcosm of what the national health care reform would be, they don’t want it, and I can hardly blame them.

Be happy, but don’t start celebrating yet. We still have a lot of work to do.
