Cantor Statement on Reconciliation
Posted by Tom Bevan
Republican
Whip Eric Cantor just released the following statement, which his
office says was offered "in light of the Senator Reid's support for
changing the rules in the middle of the game by using reconciliation to
jam through a health care bill (including the public option) that the
American people have already rejected multiple times." Cantor's
statement reads:
“If the President is sincere about moving forward in a
bipartisan fashion, he must take the reconciliation process – which
will be used jam through legislation that a majority of Americans do
not want – off the table. By using the reconciliation process, the
Administration and Democrat leaders are sending a clear signal that
they still refuse to listen to the American people and have no interest
in bipartisanship. To be certain, by using the reconciliation process,
the Administration makes clear that their promise of bipartisanship is
dead.
