Fox is reporting Mitch Mcconnell is working on a deal with Harry Reid on the filibuster.... If this is true I may give up the R next to my name. It means nothing anymore...
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
This is so ridiculous!
WHO is representing us anymore??
...unexpectedly...
Bend over Here it comes again America!
(R) now stands for RETREAT!.......................
I think Mitch Mcconnell needs to go!
And we all know what “deal” stands for. Or “compromise” means Republicans CAVE and give up ALL ground on every issue.
working on a deal
Four words you never want to hear out of D.C.
Agreed! That’s a good point to make. Not everyone here is or has been a Republican.
I have been though but that may be ending real soon.
It means we’re getting screwed!
Why do we pay their salaries?
They certainly don’t do their job “representing” us.
Perhaps we need a “Boston Tea Party” where we throw all the RINOs into the port.
My guess is that McConnell is doing this so conservatives in the Senate don’t block the new assault weapons ban.
The Gutless Old Party caves again.
Pray for America
Gee—and all of mcconnell’s phone lines are just too busy to accept calls. Imagine that. The GOP elite has just managed to lose millions more who had been putting “R” s to their names. Why can’t they figure out that was the reason for the low turnout in Nov. People simply cannot identify with a party that no longer looks out for their interests.
This is a good question to ask...
It’s like taxes..
Do these people even deserve salaries?
I called McConnell aka Dimwad wannab’s office and asked about the Nuclear option. The twit said McConnell did make a deal but that McConnell did not give into the Nuclear option. I asked what deal McNumbNuts made and she did not have the details. Damn, just damn! Roll over and play dead like the cockroach that you are McNumbNuts.
Republican and conservative are mutually exclusive. There is no overlap.
Probably something like.. we won’t use the nuclear option on the filibuster as long as you don’t filibuster anything we want passed. LOL!
Wow.. just wow. Mcconnell has NO balls.

The Party of Lincoln is dead.
the sooner folks realize they are feeding a stuffed animal, the better.
Do you know what McDonnell agreed to? from what I read there was ‘modest changes” made, nothin radical, Left is very upset...Before, flying off the handle, why don’t you wait to see what was agreed to..
Stop worrying!
The filibuster is the antithesis of a democratic, majoritarian body and should have been eliminated decades ago.
Once we have a GOP prez and senate, this will work to our benefit.
You got it. Remember how Healthcare passed? They, the Dems, used every evil, dirty, underhanded trick in the book to get it passed. Including bribes.
These RINOs that some call Republicans that are in a leadership position in our Congress have become accustomed to the DC sychophantic environment of Media Condescension and contitional “head patting” when they “do the right thing”...
They all LOVE their second-tier power. They love the little bit of financial power Obama gives them, even though they know it’s their Thirty Pieces of Sliver. They hate going back to their districts of states to lobby for their jobs (again and again and again)....they can’t wait to get back to DC - get their free haircuts, eat in their special lunchrooms, drive up to their reserved parking spaces (even at the airport). They can’t wait to get back to DC to appease a little bit more and sell you and me down the river like an 1860s slave - it don’t matter, they don’t have to ever see you working in the fields under the whip.......what the hell do they care? The Senators become vested in their retirement system in only ONE TERM!
God Damn Them! It will be a cold day in hell before I vote for either one of my two Georgia Senators again.
GA GOP just called me wanting ca$h!
“Did you know we sent 9 Republicans to DC this year?”
I refrained from cuss words...just told him that that means nothing when we are not sending the RIGHT Republicans to DC. he wanted to go back and forth...I told him I didn’t want to argue with him..
“Call me when our Georgia Republicans stop coming home from DC to represent DC, and start going to DC to represent US!”
was having such a good day too.....
deep breaths.....deep breaths.....
This COULD be a good thing.
When the Republicans eventually get control of the senate, the rule stays in place.
Then the libs will scream and holler like stuck pigs about how UNFAIR AND EVIL the rule is!...................

Wa?
Not only do we need a strong Conservative Party to take control, we need to ensure that RINO’s never darken the doorway trying to join.
In recent years I’ve only kept my R designation for voting reasons. It may be time to re-think that.

It’s almost surreal, finding oneself now living in an America that has no actual “opposition” voice. A one-party country. Diving headlong into tyranny. Again, surreal.
Did you ever read what was agreed to, before you posted your thought.. What are you, a mind numb robot.
I don’t trust them in the LEAST. I wouldn’t trust Mcconnell to take my trash out..
Each and every ‘Republican’ should abandon their party for the PATHETIC performance by the GOP with Hillary at the Benghazi hearings yesterday, and for that reason ALONE.
This is what I was talking about yesterday in other posts, the Republican party is gone. It is now represented by limp wristed wusses who buckle to their knees at the slightest contention by Democrats. Wooo Hillary got mad! Retreat retreat retreat surrender! We need a NEW party and I hope something gets going with the Tea party soon, such as someone who wins a higher office on a Tea party ticket or whatever name they want to call it. Anybody but Republicans. I mean just look who they picked as the POTUS candidate, Obama light - Mitt Romney. WTF? It would have been nice if he won over the admitted foreign born Kenyan but still, it wouldn’t have surprised me in the least that if he did win, that he would have continued Obamacare.
The Filibuster will be brought back when Republicans retake the Senate in 2014 and the Dems cry about Power Sharing again.
It is surreal.
Mob rule is no way to run a Republic nor a deliberative body.
You got it!!
Independent my entire voting life, over 30 years.
Only some minor changes when bills reach the floor and time.. But 60 vote cloture stays...
The deal is that the filibuster goes back into effect if the Republicans take the Senate in 2014.
Anyone who thought that Mitch McConnell wouldn’t cave is seriously disconnected from reality.
Don’t know why the good folks of Kentucky continue to send this loser back to DC.
They are prepping things so they can get an assault weapons ban passed.
So after reading the link you post you thing that speeding things thru the Senate, limiting debate and eventually the Congress is a good thing? This is antithetical to what the founders believed and intended.
LOL of course.
Well, that is one HELL of a bargin.
