But they're just stupid enough to try it this way.
They'll be "descending" for eternity!
...covers most everything except muzzle loaders if you think about it.
I’d much rather the SEALs descend on the White House.
Reid began this ‘nuclear option’ campaign right before Sandy Hook.. The plan for the plan has been planned!
Of COURSE McCain is going to stab us in the back.
RINOs ALWAYS act in this fashion.
Is anyone actually surprised?
Thank you Arizona. /s
I have zero Confidence in the Republican “Leadership” in Washington DC. They will make a little noise and go on the Sunday morning shows but in the end they will fold.
In 25 years, Obama won't get to be the dictator who seizes control. He will go for it all and that could be our salvation.
Never mind the article. I read the comments following and I am aghast at the weakkneed responses. Imagine walking armed down a road and being met by a man coming toward you, also armed, who demands you surrender your weapon to him. There is no reason to debate in this instance or any other. The intent is clear and the act of defense demanded. No government has authority to disarm me in the face of my enemies or beasts of the wild for that matter. Is my level of comprehension so low that I miss seeing a bigger picture all of you see? Or is it a need to jaw-jack when others see only a need to act?
Yep, will include not only semi-auto pistols but also double action revolvers. Doesn’t leave much does it?
Just a reminder that most here supported Juan for POTUS - potentially giving him the ability to rule by Executive Order!
One more RINO in a long line of RINOs. Losers all.
They intend to move fast on this ban. Get the ammo you need NOW! Pay cash where you can don’t leave a trail!
Feinstein is certifiable.
They had best be careful what they wish for. Actions have consequences. The consequences of this one are beyond fathonable.

And some of THEM won't be going home. I'll be waiting. But not there.
There are so many soft targets, it's appalling how many patriot's plans don't go beyond engaging a squad of soldiers on their own doorstep, with their babies sleeping upstairs.
I don't think Sun Tzu would approve.
It will not make it through the House regardless. FU mccain.

If there is ANY possibility of this passing the House, it hardly matters what the Senate rules are, because the Senate will have 80 votes for it.
Why would I care what the clowns in the senate pass?
You need MEN, commited men, who are disciplined, organized and trained to go into unknown areas and go house-to-house to confiscate guns.
I can’t imagine self-centered, egotistical leftists who are willing to die on a hilltop for the glory of Buckwheat. They don’t exist. Given the choice of letting the mobs hang Buckwheat or bugging out, heading home and eating a jumbo bag of chips, the chips and dip win.
Sorry, DU. You lose, we win.
“There are so many soft targets,...”
So true. Think about who supports liberals. Think about how vulnerable they’ve made themselves by becoming wards to the state.
odd
The rules change will be passed by Dem senators from conservative states- like Manchin.
So they can vote against bills like gun control- and the bills will still be passed.
Reid’s monkeys are despicable and unaccountable.
Ping for reference
We have a House of Representatives, too. It doesn’t matter whether or not it passes the Senate. The bill won’t pass the House.
“...proposal for reforming the Senate rules now has 26 co-sponsors, all Democrats. But they represent a healthy ideological cross-section of the entire caucus.
In addition to Udall, Harkin and Merkley, the resolution is currently co-sponsored by the following senators: Dick Durbin (IL), Amy Klobuchar (MN), Sherrod Brown (OH), Mark Begich (AK), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Kirsten Gillibrand (NY), Jeanne Shaheen (NH), Michael Bennet (CO), Barbara Boxer (CA), Benjamin L. Cardin (MD), Bob Casey (PA), Christopher Coons (DE), Al Franken (MN), Kay Hagan (NC), Frank Lautenberg (NJ), Joe Manchin (WV), Barbara Mikulski (MD), Jay Rockefeller (WV), Debbie Stabenow (MI), Jon Tester (MT), Mark Udall (CO), Mark Warner (VA), and Sheldon Whitehouse (RI).”
http://news.firedoglake.com/2011/01/06/26-co-sponsors-for-senate-rules-reform-as-ben-nelson-walks-back-opposition/
“Warner, Manchin, Tester and Hagan being aboard at this point is pretty solid. And there are others, like Frank Lautenberg, Ron Wyden, Claire McCaskill and others, who have their own rules bills with similar elements.”
The purpose of the rules change is to get Dem laws passed without Dems having to vote for them.
“Unconstitutional laws are not laws”
I don’t see the issue here. Plenty of freepers have been telling us that principles did not matter.
So they can just enjoy the results of principles not mattering.
Quietly.
The faces of the propaganda apparatus and the commissars of the welfare machine are very...out there.
The Starting Line – Both California Senators Blocking Filibuster Reform
by Doug Porter on January 7, 2013 · 1 comment
"Two of the leaders of the effort to reform Senate filibuster rules, Sens. Jeff Merkley of Oregon and Tom Udall of New Mexico, are now saying that 48 senators have confirmed their support for making the filibuster a real, talking filibuster. Further, all 48 have committed to reforming the filibuster by using the “constitutional option”—that is, by changing the rules of the Senate with a simple majority of 50 votes plus the Vice President.
There are seven Democratic members of the Senate who have not yet committed to reforming the filibuster in this way: Sens. Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein of California, Carl Levin of Michigan, Max Baucus of Montana, Jack Reed of Rhode Island, and Patrick Leahy of Vermont.
You (should) know what to do. Contact Sens. Boxer & Feinstein today. Let’s get this done."
48 Sen Dims without Feinstein?
yep, many places are going to loose their whole swat team to an ambush in their first few missions. They really have not done the math, “1 little, 2 little, 3 little indians” is going to be a big problem for them too.
“So you are glad Juan loss and Obama won?”
I’m sad that the RINOPublican party runs RINOs that cannot win and consequently allowed Obama to win.
I also prefer an enemy I can oppose to a friend who stabs me in the back. In that sense, I’m glad Juan lost.
In either case, both parties have participated in debasing the dollar, circumvented our Constitutional Rights, and enslaved generations with their borrowing and spending. Both are guilty.
Juan was just one more loser RINO in a very long list of RINOs. RINOmney was the latest. He spent $1BILLION and couldn’t even communicate why getting free stuff was a worse choice than freedom and opportunity.
Commie McCain rides again.
McCain also told us we don't have to be afraid of an Obama presidency.
But we need to propose something which will pass the Senate.
This is the mistake we always make and each time they
nibble a little bit more off the top.
If they want to do something, amend the constitution,
there is a process for that. Not this eating around the
edges until nothing is left, then what?
Just declare the 2nd amendment null and void?
It’s a shale slope and democrats want us to step
out a little further off solid rock. Don’t do it.
The only vote I ever cast that I regret. I was suckered into voting for him by Sarah Palin. And it’s obvious I wasted my vote.
And so are all the conveniences that allow them to be so confident. Ever have so many small, usually insignificant things go wrong at once that you felt that you must have a Kick Me sign on your back. If that happens over and over, and costs a little money when it does, nerves start to get raw. You start thinking about what you ought to do different. You go on defense.
It is a valid opinion that the 2008 election offered a choice between two men who, if elected, would likely become The Worst President In The History of The United States.
John Sidney McCain is a vindictive, narrow-minded and tyrannical opportunist who could've destroyed the USA by accident. Barack Hussein Obama, of course, is even worse.

“It will not make it through the House regardless. FU mccain.”
We’ve been screwed so often by our “friends” that getting blindsided would not be surprizing.
Bingo.
I guess the only ones surprised are Sarah Palin and the Republican primary voters in AZ.
I picture in the same position as Mussolini’s wife upside down on a telephone pole.
I’m not sure a rules change matters because McC never does filibusters anyway. He goes back to Louisville every weekend, or did.
And guess who will end up with the swat teams full auto toys and other goodies!
