Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa correctly explains the idea behind the “majority rules” theory of democracy. If this is the current state of affairs, what’s the worst that can happen? A filibuster? Lord knows if that happens it’ll make for some hilarious Republican quotes.

Let them argue against it, maybe then the American people will realize that they quite literally have nothing to say about the issue of solving the health care crisis. Lord knows they can tear down the current plan, but build a new one? Yeah, right.

And these five democrats? Do you really want to be the ones who sat on the sidelines while this bill got passed without you? As I recall there’s an election coming up, and “doing jack shit nothing” doesn’t exactly look good on a resume.
