Senate Dems Go Nuclear
November 22, 2013 at 9:14 am (This post was last modified: November 22, 2013 at 9:21 am by A Theist.)
Senate Dems voted along party lines to scale back the filibuster option....

Quote:It was striking that Obama (who spoke in favor of the filibuster as a senator) came out into the briefing room to praise the move by Harry Reid and beat up on the Republicans for “repeated abuse of these tactics” (though he allowed that “neither party has been blameless for these tactics”)...Mitch McConnell’s reaction to the “power grab” was to say “you’ll regret this,” and he’s right—the Dems will look at the change very differently if they lose control of the Senate in 2014 or beyond.
...The Republicans also attempted the "Nuclear Option", (but failed), when they had control of the Senate...I was against the move then as well. While on the surface, this may seem to be a short term victory for Barack and the dems after the pummeling they're taking over Barack Ocare, but this is going to come back and bite them in the ass when Republicans retake the Senate.

Jerking off is more along the lines of what Baracko and his Senate dem-ogogues do best. We'll see who overplayed their hand and who gets their asses kicked in the mid-terms when the Republicans re-take the Senate. Barackocare is going to be the dems' undoing.

You do recall how angry and upset many Republitards were when they were not reelected last voting season? They were running their mouths about women when they should have kept their mouths shut, and the women did not vote for them.

One would think the Republitards could learn a lesson, but it appears they want more of their numbers to be voted out of office.

One can still filibuster towards legislation.

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?
