In other words they can be non-partisan by handing total power to the democraps by simple majority

Hey, dummy, that’s why there are “parties.” It’s not about everyone “just getting along” it’s about doing what the people want and if the people DON’T want what the “other” party is sellin’ than the people shouldn’t have to buy it.

The party that handed over the writing of legislation to special-interest think tanks and locked the GOP out of the process is complaining about hyper-partisanship?

Absolutely.

These guys are setting the stage for using simple majority votes in the Senate, to get things passed.

Of course back in the gang of 14 days, there wasn’t any partisanship whatsoever.

Oh, end partisanship by getting rid of the filibuster. Then you only hear ONE side.

Democrat super-majority = healthy bi-partisanship

Opposition party begging to differ = partisanship out of control.

Yeah, tell the opposition party to "STFU" as your monopoly on procedures dwindles.

Barney was WRONG on Fannie Mae and he's wrong now.

Words absolutely fail.

"I won."
-Obama

"We've got some work to do. I don't mind, by the way, being responsible. I expect to be held responsible for these issues because I'm the president," Obama said. "But I don't want the folks that created the mess -- I don't want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them just to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess.

"I don't mind cleaning up after them, but don't do a lot of talking,"
-Obama

Barney was more than wrong on Fannie Mae, it was criminal. Anyone else would be in jail.

Homosexuality goes hand in glove with projection. Or something like that.
