Well, that’s good.. but I think the bigger aim of Nuking the filibuster is to pack the courts with extreme leftists.

It’s like being around 550 million years ago and witnessing the emergence of the first chordates.

RE :”
Any bill that reaches a Republican-led House based on Senate Democrats heavy-handed power play would be dead on arrival. I don't think this means anything, another empty threat as Bohner has a history of caving.
The reason why Dems would change those rules now is to embarrass the Senate R minority by pitting them between general voters and their primary opponents in an attempt to keep the Senate in 2016.
The Senate minority would have to really filibuster on public display to kill a bill with <50 unless they had significant Dem defectors, That would be used against them in the general election, And Reid is great as forcing those votes

Beware America!!! Boner does this just before he gives away more American rights and freedoms.
We have no opposition party. It died when Reagan died.

I think he trys to sound tough, then gives in at the final bell. I think that because I can’t remember any battle he actually won with Obama.

Would you stop criticizing the leadership we have remaining, grow your own pair of balls,support the man's actions with positive comments, and show some faith that good will eventually triumph over this evil mess. Get over the fact that half the people in this country are idiots to ever vote for Obama who is a traitor to the nation. Support the speaker in his fight against the Senate democrats in any way possible and encourage him to stand firm and hold the line. Ignore the media and never give up the fight for the nation and freedom.

We have to ignore the MSM; and quit “hoping” they’ll change. It’s futile; for whatever reason, and the idea of ever being “popular” with them is a waste. MSM is a waste.

I think the Republicans have FINALLY figured out that our president is attempting a Marxist takeover of the federal government. Republicans would not have much of a future in a communist government.

One problem with conservatism is it tends to be backward looking. We’re not going to return to the past. It isn’t possible. We win when we’re future looking and bring that positive vision into play.
Romney failed to convince American voters that he was a viable alternative to Obama. Women particularly rejected his message. Why?
