The true ‘change’ that 0bama promised. To quote Rahm from a few years back ‘Republicans can go **** themselves’.
When things screwup they cant blame the Republicians.
I really don't see the big problem here. To the victor go the spoils. Perhaps the GOP will need to move to win back a majority in 2010. Of course, if it does manage to do that, it will probably reinstate all of these rules "out of fairness."
Wait! THe Republicans didn’t do that to the Democrats when they were a minority! What gives? Aren’t the Democrats going to play nice and be “bipartisan” like the Republicans did?!
Republicans = the tweedleDUMB party
This is exactly the change the One hoped for.
Support candidates who run against Reid and Pelosi.
Whoever has the power to make the rules and designs the structure will determine those who can participate and ultimately will determine what the outcome will be.

So why did the Rinos bend over and spread-em when they were in the majority? Are the democrats the only ones who know how to take advantage of being the majority party?
This is great news. When republicans were running things they shared the power. Well I hope the twits learn something in case they ever get a second chance. But I doubt they will.
I sent a pretty harsh e-mail to my local House rep. It won’t do any good, but I did let off a little steam.
Next there will be a separate chamber for the Republicans so they can’t even listen as new taxes are passed. They will receive a summary report within 24 hours.
Marxism at it's best!
Let’s see how widely this gets reported by the MSM! Not! Keep moving, nothing to see here!

Next time some Republican like New Gingrich proposes to change the rules in favor of fairness, it should be pointed out that fairness is partisan, and so is only for Republicans; because Democrats will not reciprocate.
Instead, when next the Republicans are in power, they should tighten the rules further, to escalate against the Democrats until they squeal, because they are locked out of power.
It’s called payback.
