A Senate Democratic aide said McConnell is responsible for the collapse of the gentlemen’s agreement.

Gee, an anonymous Senate Dem aide said it's all McConnell's fault, Harry and Chuck should speak for themselves.

Sadly the Republicans have short memories, especially RINOs, I doubt they'll be retaliation.

“The controversial procedural tactic hasn’t been used in years. In a chamber where it requires the consent of all 100 senators to dispense with the reading of a bill, changing the rules unilaterally is considered bad form.”

Make them read every line of every bill into the record.

Senator John McAmnesty will NEVER stand for GOP partisan tactics! He is able to “reach across the aisle” and “work with his friends” on the demorat side.

Wow, who should’ve thunk that some GOP senators had gonads.

Refreshing to know.

I’m certain McCain and Graham are working on a very stern letter right now.

Problem is republican’s in the senate have no guts or backbone..Seriously don’t like Reid, but he does get an A or guts and backbone against the republican senators...Must get rid of the rino leaders to make the democrats pay for their action and I don’t remember any republican senator having any guts or backbone..

Ron Johnson has been withholding his consent periodically throughout the summer. You know - the Senator from Wisconsin who didn’t have a chance to beat Russ Feingold because he was just a business man with no previous political experience?

Republican aides say their bosses will now be even more reluctant to allow the Senate to conduct routine business by unanimous consent...

Ooohhh... I'm even more scared now that they're "more reluctant."

...Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), the Senate Democrats’ messaging and strategy guru... said... “Obviously it hasn’t worked terribly well.”

Did it work "terribly" or "well?" It can't be "terribly well," can it?

I guess if the "messaging guru" says so...

GOP vows retaliation after Reid uses nuclear option in Senate

The GOP should be vowing to find productive (non-government related) jobs after we replace them with Tea Partiers next year.

They are the only people in America too stupid to see that the Dems weren't afraid to use something that they were terrified of using!! And they have the audacity to threaten revenge!!???

All across America, Democrats are laughing up their sleeves at GOP idiocy!!

Harry knows that the GOPers don’t have the stones. And even if they manage to find their stones, there are individuals who just have an “R” label, but who are really moderate dems.

The Republicans? Fire a return volley? The Tweedle-DUMB party? SENATE Republicans? Not only would it have to be a COLD day in hell — not only would hell have to freeze over — the very FLAMES in the lake of fire would have to freeze blue and orange while lapping at the heels of the frozen damned for THIS to ever happen.....

Okay — I took a little dramatic license. So sue me...
