First, immediately restore the filibuster for all presidential appointments or at the very least for judicial appointments. That way any 40 Republicans can block any of Obama’s far left wing judicial appointments. Obama’s judges will be legislating from the bench for the next 30 years. They need to be blocked.
Next, either abolish the filibuster for legislation or make Democrats who want to filibuster legislation do a good old fashioned “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” talk until you drop filibuster. That way the Republican controlled House and Senate can push through any legislation that they want.
Sure, Obama will veto most of it. So make Obama spend the next two years obstructing progress. It will be hard for the Democrats to complain in the next election about a “do nothing” Congress if Congress is regularly sending bills to Obama and he is vetoing them all.
Yes, the Democrats and the lamestream press will scream bloody murder. No, the Republicans should not give a crap.
Take a page from Harry Reid’s playbook. Do whatever will help Republicans and hurt Democrats. Don’t worry about what will happen when the Democrats someday retake control over the Senate. Clearly, the Democrats will do whatever they want regardless of what the Republicans do or do not do to them.
Harry Reid set a very dangerous precedent when he did what he did. I’m sure he didn’t give a rat’s buttocks because he just wanted the power right now. He doesn’t care about what happens after he’s dead and the worms feast on his decaying corpse. A day which cannot come soon enough.
The Republicans should go medieval from now on. Reduce the office budgets of all the Dems. Put Harry Reid in the closest men’s room and tell him it’s his new office. Give no quarter. Punish them!
