Democrat Party = the Hive of Hypocrisy.
Brilliant!
So in other words....he has not learned a thing from this past election (Scott Brown).
Checks and Balance mean nothing...
Democrats just want to bulldoze American’s and are saying in effect “Truck you”.....................
GOOD!
Keep stokin the fires.
I think you need two thirds (67 Votes) to change the senate rules.
Changing the rules to fit your tyrannical agenda is more of the same bu||shit that just got you a beat-down in Mass!
The people of Iowa need to rise up and send a message to this kind of crap. Swap his phones and offices!
These moves will simply determine the number of Senators required to be riden out of the chambers on a rail.
(a necessary precursor to the application of tar and feathers)
These people seem determined to rule us instead of govern us.
The fool is too stupid to realise there will come a time when Democrats do not have control of the Senate and may need that rule. Rules work for both sides or rather they are supposed to.

You got to know when to hold’em, know when to fold’em, know when to walk away, and know when to run, you never count your money when your sittin at the table, there’ll be time enough for countin when the dealing is done....
It doesn't have to be, but it can be. The "legislation" can be in the form of a Senate Resolution, having no effect outside of the Senate. See too House Resolutions that set the terms of debate and voting on bills.
Barney Frank will demand “Power Sharing”. Piss on him. Oh he’d like that. Then give him a backhand that knocks his dentures out of his mouth.
no kidding. This is the funniest thing I’ve read in a year!
Go for it!
There is that word “reform” again.
Anyone think the Republicans have the brains or balls to refuse to use that term? Nah. The Dems are going to define the terms of the debate, again.
Health “reform”
Campaign finance “reform”
Filibuster “reform”
We are going to be “reformed” into serfdom.
Harkin is a communist and an enemy within. He abhors the Constitution.
Tom Harkin: “Constitution? We don’t need no stinkin’ Constitution!”
