Reid REALLY screwed himself and the DEMs over - NEXT time the GOP has the Senate and the WH - well, they say that payback is a bitch ...
What will they do then? Write a strongly worded letter? Complain about the media not being on their side? Cry about it in their tanning beds?
I’ll tell you exactly what they’ll do. Nothing. They’ll probably change the rule back and then cede MORE power to the Democrat minority in order to supposedly look like they’re being ‘fair’.
Wake up. It’s kabuki theater.
And you know all that will happen is Dems will whine ‘What about the rights of the minority’ and the Pubs will wipe their tears, pat them on the back and go “There, there.”
Yep, the moment we swear in a conservative president, assuming we own the Senate and the house... We run our agenda flat out. No limits, no compromise. None. If the rats don’t like it, they can go pound sand, even over the smallest issue. We give them nothing.
Yeah. That'll happen.
On the off chance that the democrat vote fraud machine doesn't work in the 2014 elections and the republicans take the senate, the democrats will just whine about the unfairness of it all.
The republicans will roll over and give them back the filibuster.
Look up "power sharing" that the republicans always agree to when proposed by the minority party dems, but the dems always reject when proposed by the minority party reublicans).
When all the powers are liberals, what makes you think we will ever see a GOP majority again?
They did this so they can absolutely pass anything and everything the senate votes on. GOP can’t do a damned thing to stop anything now.
What about those checks and balances now?
It’s called the second amendment.
You dream!
The next time the Pubbies have the Senate, they will gentlemanly bow to “traditional values”, “reach across the aisle in a gesture of goodwill”, and reinstate the old rules for the benefit of their “Good Friends, the loyal opposition.”
