Reconciliation to pass healthcare reform?

Today on Wolf Blitzer’s Situation Room on CNN the Cafferty file segment asked “should the Democrats try to ram healthcare reform through with 51 votes using that process called reconciliation?”

Blitzer commented

How do you feel about the prospect of that being used to pass health care reform? A company called Crimson Hexagon tracks online comments about topics. Check this out.

Of more than 14,000 conversation on twitter, Facebook, blogs, forums, it finds 39 percent support reconciliation. 30 percent are against it. 17 percent think the Republicans are hypocritical, 14 percent say that Democrats are hypocritical.

Imagine that! Only 39% support reconciliation and 30% are against it. Both the Republicans and Democrats are hypocritical.

I would have thought that the percentage of those that support reconciliation would have been higher. From my vantage point I think reconciliation is the way to go since it appears the only way to get the bill passed and into law. I’m beginning to think a two-party political system sucks. The parties seem to be looking out for themselves, not us people.
