Democrats to ‘go it alone’ on ObamaCare?

August 19, 2009

Looks like we are home alone with the Democrats now! The big news on the web is the Democrats ‘new’ plan to ‘go it alone’ on ObamaCare. Why does everyone think this is ‘new’? The reasons the administration floated the ‘we don’t need a public option for reform’ trial balloon was because they don’t have enough Democratic votes in the Senate to pass a public option. The Democrats HAVE been going it alone. So what is going on?

Well, all of the headlines ARE the new plan. The Democrats have sent out talking points suggesting that the New New plan is to ‘go it alone’. It is as if they are going to use the ‘nuclear option’. Will it work? I hope not. Here are just a few of the headlines I read this morning:
