Capital Potty-Break Putsch?
December 22, 2009 - by
Are Washington Republicans learning from Wake County Republicans?
Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, a leading opponent of the health-care reform bill, said Sunday: “What the American people should pray is that somebody can’t make the vote.”
Democrats protested that Coburn was wishing misfortune on a Senator.
Maybe Coburn was just hoping that – a la the Wake County commissioners – a Democrat will go to the bathroom long enough to let Republicans prevail.
Given the heavy-handed rule of Republicans when they ran Congress, they hardly have room to squawk now.
Harry Reid’s strategy is bold and brutal: We’ve got the votes, and we’re going to pass the bill.
It’s about time Democrats showed some ruthlessness.
