And if they lose?
On Dec 21, 2012, Obama will have had a little over a month to stew in his humiliating, crushing and unexpected defeat at the hands of the American people.

He’ll still be Commander in Chief.

He’ll still have the nuclear ‘football’. Just sitting there. Staring at him. Taunting him. Daring him. Double-eaten-dog daring him...

Does that mean Harry would be okay with us getting rid of the filibuster when we win the election?

FINALLY, something that I can agree with him on. So let’s make a deal: Whomever controls the Senate in 2013 kills the filibuster. Assuming we win the Senate, they are doomed.

Right you are. The Demonrats are hell-bent on setting up a one-party, perpetual dictatorship, perhaps including giving the Usurper the right to a third term. I firmly believe this upcoming election is the most vital in our history.

Of course, if they lose (which is highly likely), he’ll use it to block any decent reform bills.

Why wait????

Reid has the simple majority now! He might not have it come January.

Come on Harry, go for it now if you got the guts to be a real leader!

Hey, Harry. What if you lose in November? will you be singing the same song if the GOP fiddles with the filibuster? (Of course, we know the answer.)

What a great way to start the year. Senate agenda:

Day 1, item 1: suspend the filibuster for one day.

Day 1, item 2: repeal Dodd-Frank, Affordable Health Care Act, other laws as deemed appropriate

Day 1, item 3: legislatively repeal all Code of Federal Regulations rules adopted from 2009 through 2012.

Day 1, item 4: disband the United States Departments of Education, Commerce, etc. etc. etc.

Day 1, item 5: legislatively remove jurisdiction from federal courts to hear appeals on any basis whatsoever from convictions in state courts for violations of state laws.

Day 1, item 6: dissolve half of the United States District Courts in the country (courts to be retained to be selected by the Federalist Society)

Day 1, item 7: dissolve the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals

Day 1, item 8: cut congressional salaries to $25,000; senatorial salaries to $35,000. Eliminate current legislative retirements packages, replace with social security and medicare.

Day 1, item 9: recess Congress until next year's one-day session.

Sad when democrats energize our base more than our own candidates.

legislative procedure has been “abused, abused, and abused.”

This from the man who files for cloture at the same moment he files a bill.

Reid is an oligarch. He doesn’t like to actually legislate.

The best Republican senatorial response is to take him at face value, and say if the Republicans get control of the senate, they will not only stop the filibuster, but also the ability of a single senator to stop the operation of any senate business by ‘flagging’ it.

This means a single senator would not be able to block senate hearings, judicial appointments, or other business.

Someone with some Photoshop skills should make a video of Reid standing on the Capitol steps ripping up a copy of the Constitution.

The Democrats are destroying our Gopvernment folks: It’s as simple as that.

They are doing it deliberately in a Power move that has as it’s goal the destruction of our Constitutional form f Government.

Real Patriots may have to fight. Prepare for it.

I hope the Republicans give the Democrats a taste of their own medicine. That is the only way to stop this nonsense. But knowing the Republicans they’ll cave....

Not to worry. We’re on deck to pick up around 10 or more seats in the Senate.

Don’t worry “Dingy Harry”...you won’t win. Your party will be reeling from a defeat of epic proportions.

Count on it.
