Kent Conrad Claims A “Higher Power” Is Authorizing The Bypass Of A Fillibuster

• May 1, 2009

As the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, Kent Conrad is the man who decides whether or not Obama can use the budget reconciliation process to bypass a filibuster and pass his nationalized health care bill on a strictly party-line vote. Originally Conrad said he was against using such a tactic. When asked how he came to approve of it anyway, he responded by saying he was motivated by a…uh…“higher power.”

After the House and Senate both passed President Obama’s $3.5 trillion spending blueprint with reconciliation language for national health care, what say the senior Democrats in the Senate who told the American people they were against ramming through a health care bill on an expedited basis? Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) said he was pushed into reconciliation by a “higher power,” in response to a question from Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.).

So “god” made Conrad do it. And not the best interests of his constituents.
Which probably isn’t surprising. From his $3.1 million, VIP-financed Delaware beach house it may be easier to hear “god” than North Dakotans.

So was it God or the One sitting in the president's chair who thinks he is? Was there a backroom deal to try to save coal and oil in ND? If so, Kent for Rent is probably in for a rude awakening…he's been so out of touch for so long it's about time.

A 3.1 MILLION dollar house? Does Nd. even have any houses worth over a million? Gaylord is out of touch, to say the least.

you know you're right but some many of our fellow North Dakotans keep voting him into office. Don't blame me I didn't vote for Kent, Byron or Earl.

When Americans begin rationed health care and when they begin dying from a lower standard of medical attention I hope these same democrats recognize what they have done.

If you think about it they will be able to decide who lives and who dies and they will make a mess like they have in Britian and Canada. I suppose I better double my work regime now.

Conrad's a Universalist Unitarian, you don't have to believe in God to go to that church. You just have to be a liberal.

Of course that higher power would be the MessiahBama.

"I hope these same democrats recognize what they have done."

Don't hold your breath, they won't recognize this any more than Barney Frank and his Dems recognize their responsibility for the housing collapse.

So "god" made Conrad do it.

I think Obama is the sockpuppet, like Biden but with style. He's too gaffe prone to be the True One.

It is time for a new party, the party of those that think for themselves, tell others how they feel and naturally attract like minded people to the cause. The conservative party has no cause – now they are going to adopt the issues of the left as their own and try to come up with some new ideas – We need an Obama of our own but one of Character.
