If they get rid of the filibuster for legislation, amnesty will definitely pass in 2015.

if you take back the Senate, you’d better first consider impeachment
(if Boner gets his act up...)

“What a disgusting POS McConnel is!”
It’s up to the good and smart people of KENTUCKY to remove this blight from the Senate.
C’mon, Kentucky! Y’all can do this!

This cretin thinks not only will he still be in the Senate in January, 2015, but that he will be the Senate Majority Leader! Unfortunately, if Kentuckians fail to do the right thing, he’s right!

Id consider voting for Alison Grimes if Jeff Sessions not Cornyn is the majority leader.
To: Hojczyk
We’ll “consider?”
Just damn. ......... Perpetual losers. I will never vote for any RINO again.

The Senate already passed amnesty. The house is where it is bottled up. For now.

And Democrats in the minority presumably would not filibuster administration choices. But if the GOP takes the White House in 2016 then count on the Democrats to filibuster every administration appointment that they can.
And in the mean time, they'll filibuster everything the Republicans would like to move through the Senate during Obama's last two years.

He’s already telling us he’ll be a democrat

Not to worry, Mc.
If the Dems lose they Senate, they will reestablish the 60-vote threshold during the lame-duck session.
You don’t think they would give the Pubbies that 50-vote threshold for new appointees, do you?

Mitch is a moron. I'm surprised he didn't just come out and tell the truth: if the GOP gains the Senate (due to the hated Tea Party) they'll just hand back minority power to the Dems (or power share like Trent the idiot Lott and Milquetoast Frist) and give in to Obama by saying "well, we only have Congress and the Dems have the WH and the Courts."

so basically only the left is allowed to filibuster? But you don't understand! If we bring back the filibuster for appointments, then everyone will see how fair we are. The media will praise us, the voters will love us, and the Democrats will be so ashamed that they will NEVER try anything like that again.
/end sad, pathetic GOP-E delusional rant

That's right. Democrats never have to live with the consequences when they are in the minority, because our stupid leadership will bend over backwards to show how fair they are by giving them back their minority powers, which will then be used to retake the majority.

Of course. Pubs play by the rules and call the RATS their “friends” while the RATS shred the rules and call Pubs racist liars.
