Oh noes:
Sen. Orrin Hatch threatened an all-out political “war” and promised a new high in partisan tensions if Democrats employ a rarely used Senate rule to win approval of their health reform bill.
His provocative statements came a day after President Barack Obama made a plea for bipartisanship and cooperation in his State of the Union address.
It was a plea that Hatch, a Utah Republican who sits on both of the Senate’s health committees, said he simply didn’t believe.
“They haven’t acted in good faith on this, nor do I expect that they will,” he said in an interview with The Salt Lake Tribune . “I expect them to go to reconciliation.”
It would be a real tragedy if the Republicans decided to stop working with the Democrats. Wait, what?
We’ll know he is serious if he threatens to reunite the singing Senators if the Dems use reconciliation.
Lols.
