We will never get what we want until that day we get the Left out of power, and treat them as the impaired lot they are. Dems, and RINO’s have to be eliminated from leadership period. They are the enemy within.

Why does Reid need to cut a deal? They already have a filibuster-proof majority:
51 Democrats
1 Independent
1 Communist
John McCain
Lindsay Graham
Olympia Snowe
Susan Collins
Scott Brown
Lisa Murkowski
Richard Lugar

Republicans would filibuster fewer bills and nominations in exchange for a promise by the Democratic majority to give them more chances to offer amendments. Wow. Such a deal... a PROMISE! And we know the value those promises hold.
New day, same GOP.

Why don’t the GOP just go play golf or something? They’ll be just as effective at representing their constituencies as if they’re in the Capitol building.

They are in the minority in the Senate. The senate is ruled by the majority. The democrats are in the majority. Do you really think "The GOP has no power" is sufficient reason for Freepers not to threaten the GOP for their betrayal of the United States Constitution.
The best way to punish a party that is out of power is to vote 'rat until the GOP gets the message.
rat - it's the new conservatism.

I will promise you this. These Rinos will fold like lawn chairs. Then we know who they are and escort them to the door. The Tea Party is not over.

The Dems know that they will be the minority come 2012. All they are doing is setting things up so they can still run the Senate when they no longer have the majority. The Repubs will sit on their hands and watch them do it, silently.

If this does not PROVE that at the CORE <— there is no difference between the Democrats and Republicans.. our ONLY hope in 2012 is to fill every seat with an INDEPENDENT CONSERVATIVE !! and the process for doing that is GOOOH ! at least for the House.. which is really where we need to focus our attention since it is the House that hold America’s PURSE STRINGS !

Email, call, write McConnell and the rest of these mealy mouth politicians with a hard hitting message: GROW A BACKBONE, OPEN YOUR MOUTH UP AND SAY NO! NO agreements with the socialists/democrats/progressives on ANY issue. No backing down....WE WON IN NOVEMBER...now start working from a position of strength, hold your ground and make the moves that We The People expect of you.
Dammit, man, be a man and stand up to the enemy in the White House...what do we have to do, sew some cajones in your pants and pull the strings that work your mouth???? We The People cannot give your courage or strength of conviction...that, politicians, must come from that core within you.
We must continue to ride their azzes and tell them what we expect of them...we cannot let up.

Sounds like a cave-in.
Some Republicans never learn. Maybe they don’t even want to.

What is the difference, Obama has gotten around the senate for his appointments anyway.
I wonder just how much longer Obama will allow that pesky congress to continue to cramp his style and just abolish the whole House thing all together.
