Rachel Maddow just said that Democrat Leader(s) in the Senator have told her that Reid will revoke chairmanships of any Senator that sides with Republicans in a filibuster.
She's discussing various strategies that the Democrats in the Senate are evaluating. But the first seems to be bullying their own leadership.
And she could be full of it. No guests or anything to support this other than her own monologue.
She also mentioned reconciliation as a last resort.
KILL THE BILL.
I believe those chairmanships come with MONEY...and they’re pretty hefty checks!!
Well, this is a critical vote for them. Revoking committee chairs for party members who vote the wrong way on critical votes was S.O.P. for years.
The question is, how come only the Democrats do it? Why is Olympia Snowe still on all those committees? Why hasn’t she been moved to the basement of the Senate office building?
It seems as if the Democrats understand Politics 101, if nothing else.
The “shite” these guys are pulling is getting close to an act of war.
If true, I hope the Republican Senators will invite the ex-chairmen to join the Republican Party. Shouldn’t be a scary move for these Democrat Senators, since if they’re wanting to filibuster with the Republicans already, it’s because their constituents have let them know in no uncertain terms that the socialist health care reform proposal must be killed.
DICTATORSHIP!! BANANA REPUBLIC.....Harry Reid is a DISGRACE!!
Or will they revoke seniority as well, so if you do this, you never get a chairmanship.
That is some tough talk from a soon to be ex-senator.
You own it Dems, take a hint from Albuquerque where your future is going.
As you creeps continue to crash our economy and saddle us with stifling debt and Socialism don’t expect to retain the WH or Congress.
GREAT! Bring it on!
Health control.
Mafia
Nothing like a desperate, cornered commie ‘RAT. Here come the threats. If you want to keep your chairmanship, you better help the commie ‘RAT party screw over the American people.
He won’t be in the Senate much longer himself.
Hopefully some of them will grow some gonads and contact Glenn Beck !
Eating their own, are they??
I bet the dems who are struggling against Obamacare have read the writing on the wall and realize they may as well start packing now because in 2010 they are OUTTA THERE!!!
Disgusting, whatever happened to the USA?
Pigs.
Let’s ask Arlen Spectre!
The GOP might win the debate and lose the vote.
Is Reid a dictator? Or is he simply taking orders from Barack The Terrible?
