I’m actually wary of this - the Democrats are in meltdown right now - the last thing the Republicans should do is try something that will draw attention away, and let the Dems pull the “intransigent Republicans” card.

I wish I could believe the Democrats are in as much trouble as you say they are but I don't. What with the lack of Republican response to this latest Reid power grab and the sham hearings in the House that haven't sent anyone to jail or have triggered impeachment hearings, I doubt the Democrats are in much trouble with their LOW INFORMATION voters.

I was just going to say the same thing.

The left pulled this nuclear stunt to get attention off of O-care. Many conservatives like redstate.org are falling for the bait...which is just what the left wants.

I agree. Much as I hate to admit it, the Bohener strategy (before the O/Care debacle) was correct---everytime the Pubbies showed their faces---the Obama/turds attacked them. So laying low was a good recourse.

Now the political earth has shifted. After the O/care debacle....Pubbies were everywhere---sticking it to the Dems.

The "Punisher President" was livid---remember he was dedicated to destroying the Repub/Party. Instead his incompetence made the Dem numbers collapse into quicksand....he faces losing the Senate and the House.

That's why he demanded the nuclear option----to tempt the Pubbies into "overreaching."

What's next for Boobamba? Invoking the War Powers Act?
