Dems to Bypass GOP On Health Compromise
House and Senate Democrats intend to bypass traditional procedures when they negotiate a final compromise on health care legislation, officials said Monday, a move that will exclude Republican lawmakers and reduce their ability to delay or force politically troubling votes in both houses.
The unofficial timetable calls for final passage of the measure to remake the nation's health care system by the time President Barack Obama delivers his State of the Union address, probably in early February.
Democratic aides said the final compromise talks would essentially be a three-way negotiation involving top Democrats in the House and Senate and the White House, a structure that gives unusual latitude to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California.
These officials said there are no plans to appoint a formal House-Senate conference committee, the method Congress most often uses to reconcile differing bills. Under that customary format, a committee chairman is appointed to preside, and other senior lawmakers from both parties and houses participate in typically perfunctory public meetings while the meaningful negotiations occur behind closed doors.
In this case, the plan is to skip the formal meetings, reach an agreement, then have the two houses vote as quickly as possible. A 60-vote Senate majority would be required in advance of final passage.
"I look forward to working with members of the House, the Senate and President Obama to reconcile our bills and send the final legislation to the president's desk as soon as possible," Pelosi said late last year as the Senate approved its version of the legislation.
"We hope to get a bill done as soon as possible," said Jim Manley, a spokesman for Reid.The issue is so partisan that only one Republican, Rep. Anh "Joseph" Cao of Louisiana, has cast a vote in favor of the legislation.
GOP leaders have vowed to try and block a final bill from reaching Obama's desk.
"This fight isn't over. My colleagues and I will work to stop this bill from becoming law," Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the Republican leader, said shortly before the Senate cleared its version of the bill last month.
Wild Thing's commnet........
Not only do Democrats intend to bypass the GOP, but also they intend to bypass the U.S. Constitution and the will of the American public. Democrats want to destroy this country!
I would love to see the Republicans bypass traditional procedures and not attend the State of the Union Address.
....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

I wouldn't doubt it for a moment. They are so bent on destroying all the great things America and Americans have done for the past 200+ years since there has been an America. Even Canadians and Brits are thinking we alone are destroying the world with our crappy government and shadowy underhanded deals. Very sad.

This entire administration needs to be in line for the guillotine.

The Rs should definitely be "no shows" to the State of the Union. Whatever it takes to continuously and within the law make a defiant statement. One large step to take back our Union. That will pound a lot home!!

The Dems have shown a tendency to break rules and procedure before when they were the majority party. They rule like little kings when they control the Congress, but cry like wimps when they are the minority party.

Oh, Jan! What a fabulous idea!!! If only.
All I can say is that once the GOP gets "its" head out of "its" a$$, then they better be prepared to play this same kind of hard-ball with the left. Not an option. It is going to have to be done to undo everything the jugearjackass has done and it will take decades.
We don't want the dems to talk. We don't want them to grab a mop or broom while we do the clean up. We just want them to get the phukk out of the way!!!!!

Lynn, it is sad and like you said other countries
I am sure think we have lost our minds. I just hope the world realizes it is the other half of America that won't wake up and those of us are very alarmed and doing what we can to fight back. Like your 912 group that is so awesome.
Eddie, sounds ok to me. yep.
Jan, DITTO that, I would love that to happen.
Tom, they sure do, I hate how they literally rule and not lead and ignore what we the people want.
BT in SA, Amen to all of that. The Rep. party has got to get active and make noise and not be so polite when they get all these chances they get on political talk shows too to speak up. I could ring their necks for being so careful not to offend the lefties on the shows. sheesh
