...accusing them of trying to pull “political stunts” and "hide" behind procedural maneuvers

There it is. He is telling you his plans. They plan to use political stunts and procedural maneuvers to once again force an unpopular law onto Americans. See the Healthcare Act for an example.

Very True.

If Reid does not get the 60 votes, Reid said he will use "procedural trick"

Reid - "It will take a little bit of time, but we're going to do it"

Crying Boehner better make good on this if Reid gets too tricky...

Boehner - Filibuster rule change bills 'dead on arrival'

"House Speaker John Boehner, Ohio Republican, made it clear that any bill that came to the House from the upper chamber as a result of Senate Democrats changing the rules on the filibuster would be "dead on arrival." In a statement released from Speaker Boehner's office, the Ohio GOP'er remarked:

“Senate Democrats’ attempt to break Senate rules in order to change Senate rules is clearly designed to marginalize Senate Republicans and their constituents while greasing the skids for controversial partisan measures. I question the wisdom of this maneuver, especially at a time when cooperation on Capitol Hill is critical, and fully support Leader McConnell’s efforts to protect minority rights, which are an essential part of our constitutional tradition. Any bill that reaches a Republican-led House based on Senate Democrats’ heavy-handed power play would be dead on arrival.” "

One briefcase full of 100 dollar bills, and Boehner will change his mind.

As opposed to Obama anointing himself in the blood of the victims, while using the grieving parents of the murdered children as nothing more than background props to accomplish purely political goals, which are to deny Americans their constitutional rights.

Where is Obama Saying this? Thats right in Connecticut to exploit the emotionally distraught families.

Not of them children would have been saved had everything Obama proposed been in place. Indeed millions of other children everywhere else in the U.S.A. would have been in GREATER danger with fewer non-criminally minded adults armed to defend them.

Obama’s hypocritcy here is hilarious!

” - - - Obama anointing himself in the blood of the victims, while using the grieving parents of the murdered children as nothing more than background props to accomplish purely political goals, which are to deny Americans their constitutional rights.”

B. Hussein Obama’s stated goal has always been to “FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.”

By setting up confiscation records from “background checks” it will be easy to strip us of our means to defend ourselves from Tyrant Obama.

To disarm America is to arm the might of tyrants.

Who knows, in a year we might be ruled by Tyrant Kim Un Hussein?

Biden was correct, they are coming to confiscate our guns.

Tyrant Kim Un Hussein must be very pleased that his efforts to “FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” are progressing so easily.
