I think in the long run, demographics will favor the Democrats, so the democrats will likely control the senate (probably the house as well) more often then not. So removing the ability of the minority to obstruct the majority, democrats will be able to advance more court nominees than the republicans can.
Net win for the democrats and net loss for the republicans, although the overall effect will take decades to play out.

And the GOP, instead of looking honorable, pledged to make the Democrats regret it.
How can the GOP occupy the high ground and yet do such a thing, A Theist?
Don't you wonder if the GOP has lost sight of decorum in lieu of being bullish and brash?

...Oh, like the dems did in 2005 when the Republicans attempted a power grab with the "Nuclear Option"? I was against killing the filibuster then as I am now. As the Barackocare debacle continues to gain momentum and as more people get dropped by their insurance companies Republicans will retake the Senate in the mid-terms...this latest power grab will come back to bite the dems in the ass.

Quote:It was an awful mistake to characterize based upon religion. I should not judge any theist that way, I must remember what I said in order to change.
A theist: Even though our religious beliefs may separate us, I believe in your patriotism. Yet one thing is abundantly clear to me about the political ideals espoused by most of the people on this website are an insurrection against the foundations that have made this country so amazing. Many characters on this website use terms like "Republicunts", "Teahadists", "Teabaggers", etc to somehow make their argument plausible. Using words like these not only make them look ignorant, but fools for resorting to behavior that a 5 year old would envision.
This will be my last post on this website, since I cannot stand the liberal mantra that seems to be espoused on this website. Liberals will never understand the dangers of government, taxation, and excessive regulations. Government is NOT our savior as so many people seem to think. It is an abomination to see how far left the Democrat machine has entrenched itself. Personally, I believe many previous Democrats would be rolling in their graves if they surfaced to see the ideals that seem to emanate from the mouths of people who apply the Democrat label today.
One thing you will not change is the devotion that the Democrats have in creating their own little island, where everyone thinks the same. Ultimately, Reid and his minions will realize the dangerous precedent that they have set.
I will close with this quote and liberals really need to think about this one. "Ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country."--John F. Kennedy. Compare this quote to the ideals espoused today by the liberals and you only will see how far the Democrats have left from their goals and ideals and have been captured by Marx and Engels. John F. Kennedy must truly be rolling in his grave to see how much the Democrat party embraces elements of Socialism and/or Communism. What a disgrace.

I guess that since you are leaving, this will be wasted breath, but don't conflate being liberal with being a Democrat.

Of course previous Democrats would roll in their graves; Before Nixon's Southern Strategy, many of them were the same kind of racist, poor-hating theocratic shitbags that today make up the Republican Party.
What we do clearly understand is the dangers of unchecked capitalism, an inadequate social safety net, a healthcare system available only to those with money or willing to suffer punishing debt, and a dominant military industrial complex. We have a party, today, which is obsessed with returning America to the Gilded Age and they don't even bother hiding it most of the time. They want a country in which everybody belongs to the One True Religion, in which women and minorities are second-class citizens, in which the American working class resembles the Bangladeshi working class, working for as little pay and benefits as possible in unsafe, unregulated environments, while the owners and shareholders rake in billions of dollars a year for basically doing nothing. Class warfare exists, and the poor are losing.
It's not as simple as "big government = always bad". Big government is bad only when it is run by people who don't care whether most of its citizens live or die, and in America, that party is the Republican Party.
So, go on and rub one out to Ayn Rand or whatever.

Our liberal ideals have deadly wounded the enemy! We have vanquished our enemy, we are driving them before us, while their women weep!
The exit door on this website charges no toll, I think.
