Not too much of a surprise from obama's lapdog Dingy Harry.

Gee, where are McCain and Graham? Weren’t they the instigators for the “gang of 14”?

IMO, the seeds of the coming revolution are starting to sprout.
It’s just a matter of time.

According to my copy of the Constitution, Congress (both houses) decides their own rules.
It my be hypocritical on the part of the dems, but it's within bounds.

I guess he won’t complain when conservatives take the Senate and use the same rule then?

I believe you’re correct. The Rats better understand what goes around comes around.

Reach across the isle to the Democrats under Dingy Harry, and you will find a bloody stump where your hand used to be.

And yet, McConnell will still try to reach across the aisle the next time, and the time after that, and the time after that.

Never underestimate the power of Senate Republicans to look 'statesmanlike' and cave. They make idiot-proof an oxymoron. They couldn't pour sand out of a boot with instructions written on the heel.
If you add all their IQ's together, you might reach room temperature.
Robert Byrd is the current senator making the most sense, and he's been in the grave for a year.
Not that I have anything against the US Congress.
Stupid barstids.

I don’t see what is so surprising.
Republicans are idiots.
Democrats make all these rules that only republicans have to follow.
And republicans obey.
Go figure.

Mitch McConnel only need say one word in the Senate: RECIPROCITY!

Loving it!!!! Simple majority rules in the Senate now. Will be great once the GOP regains the Senate. in the meantime, it means nothing to the Dems since they do not control the House. Has to be one of the dumbest moves they ever made.
