They are rubbing their greedy little hands together in anticipation of rolling Americans over and getting what's theirs.
The talks gained new urgency as polls show the overhaul is increasingly unpopular and Democrats could lose next week's special Massachusetts election to replace the late Senator Edward Kennedy -- costing them their crucial 60th Senate vote.
RUSH!
Kennedy's seat, fine, the people's seat (dems are all NO WAY...it's OUR seat) is in danger of falling to a ~GASP~ nonKennedy.
This weekend is gonna be a nail-biter.
EDIT 1: If liberals nefarious intent of taking control of this country no matter what you think, no matter what you are begging and pleading for, hasn't been clear to you before, let it be clear now.
Even if Democrats lose the special election to pick a new Massachusetts senator Tuesday, Congress may still pass health-care overhaul through a process called reconciliation, a top House Democrat said.
That procedure requires 51 votes rather than the 60 needed to prevent Republicans from blocking votes on President Barack Obama’s top legislative priorities. That supermajority is at risk as the Massachusetts race has tightened.
“Even before Massachusetts and that race was on the radar screen, we prepared for the process of using reconciliation,” Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said.
Please ask yourself why.
EDIT 2:
What squawk the Dems about Scott Brown this evening?
Dem to Every Day American translation: If you disagree with Barry, or those willing to do his business at your expense, you are the radical.
Elitists get it wrong more often than not.

and they're calling this process WHAAAAA?? reconciliation? please. makes me vomit. okay, maybe just mr. tubbes and SQ, but it makes me queasy. or maybe i've got the stomach flu too.
Patti: Because of the questionable loyalties of the blue dog Democrats to the leadership, the reconciliation route has been on the back burner all along. Still, the Democrats are in such a bad position right now, I'm not sure that they could even pull that off. I've been following these shenanigans for most of my life, and I still wouldn't make a bet on what is going to happen finally.
In the Massachusett(e)s race, I've rarely enjoyed watching the Democrats dissemble quite so much. They are truly desperate. Bad candidate, bad campaigning, bad publicity, bad everything. The Democrats are so busy attacking the Republican that they haven't noticed they're offending a large segment of the independents with cracks like "tea-baggers." And the piece de resistance is that Obama is forced to show up and support a terrible candidate. He's damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't.
Meanwhile, Obama's special ambassador to Haiti, one Bill Clinton, is fulfilling his task to the people of Haiti by making speeches in Massachusetts. Propping up a sock-puppet Democrat is more important than going to the nation that has suffered an unimaginable disaster. Democrats--all talk, no substance.
jay: it makes all sane peeps queasy.
law: i have delighted in the dems running into walls in the last few weeks too. my prayer is that the voters get to the polls. i want a loud and decisive roar that can be heard all the way to washington...not that they'll listen, but still.
