I guess I don't get it. The GOP's Lamar Alexander says that if the Dems use reconciliation, it will be political suicide. And he says the GOP would campaign on repealing the bill.

Is he trying to save us Dems from making a big mistake? I always thought that the Republicans wanted the Dems to commit political suicide. I thought they wanted us to be kamikaze's. But now there is this mystery, because the thoughtful Senator is helping us avoid making this big "suicidal" mistake.

I guess we should thank him?

Probably, but we should still push health care through anyway. It's nice that he is trying to save us from ourselves and all, though.

Now after we pass health care, I guess the GOP will really have us where they want us. Republicans will campaign to open up the health care fight again and add the donut hole back for seniors. The Dems will just be devastated by that tactic I am sure.

Really, the GOP should try it. That can be our helpful advice to them.
