Time for the Nuclear Option

Just a few years ago we heard the Democrats condemn the Republicans’ considered use of reconciliation for judicial appointments as the “nuclear option”; now they are hypocritically preparing to use the same process to pass their unpopular Health Care legislation.
I want to be the first to write that now is indeed the time for the nuclear option but the one I’m thinking of should be utilized this fall by the voters against the entire Democrat Party. They who have chosen to ignore the calls, pleas, and wishes of those they serve deserve no less than to be removed from the elected offices they have so thoroughly abused.
It is time to send the message to our elected officials that ignoring the will of the people has a real and immediate consequence. The Democrats’ dictatorial tactics on health care legislation provides the voters the perfect opportunity to demonstrate “who” is the boss and who works for whom. Any failure to make this clear at the ballot box this fall will have dire and enduring consequences. It’s time to take our country back, so do the right thing; hold every Democrat accountable this fall.
