Fox News Version of Majority Rules: 70-80 Votes

In the Republican Fantasy World, a World that is completely ensured by its gatekeeper Fox News, the only way HCR should pass is with 70-80 senate votes. That's right, Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) tells the GOP media relations department Fox News that anything less than 70-80 yes votes is not supported by the American people and is a "trick" by Democrats.

"If you're gonna pass something that's gonna impact everyone in this country personally, their own personal health care, and impact one sixth of the economy, you ought to get something like this passed with 70 or 80 votes in the Senate," he said. "That's the way you get the American people to say, yes, this must be a good idea.'"

Of course the Constitution of the United States of America states only a simple majority (51 votes) is required to pass any legislation in the senate. But not when Democrats are in control. The threshold then is 70-80. Anything less than that is thrusting a majority rules democratic governance upon the country and we can't possibly have something like that happen.
