Republicans will never learn

Especially the likes of John McCain. Democrats only care about having a "Gang of 14" to block legislation when it's Republican legislation. Now that Democrats have all the power the are saying no to forming a new gang.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) wants to revive the bipartisan Gang of 14 — this time for health care reform, not judicial nominees.

But most of his moderate Democratic colleagues aren’t rushing to R.S.V.P.

Graham said Tuesday that a coalition of Republican and Democratic senators could rescue the Senate from an institutional disaster brought on by the use of the parliamentary maneuver known as reconciliation to finish the health care bill.

“Many Republicans who were ready to pull the trigger on the nuclear option on judges are now glad they didn’t,” Graham said. “This place would have ceased to function as we know it. If they do health care through reconciliation, it will be the same consequence. So if you are a moderate Democrat out there looking for a way to deliver health care reforms and not pull the nuclear trigger, there is a model to look at.”


Can't say I'm really shocked the Democrats said no to Lindsey Graham. I'm more shocked that Graham is shocked they said no. This is how the Democrats work. Bipartisonship means agreeing with them.
