Mitch opposed Reid's destruction of the filibuster rules and has promised to restore the power of the minority to democrats if Republicans are to regain the Senate majority.
Well that's just wonderful. Reid screws over our side, and McConnell promises not to give them a taste of their own medicine once the roles get reversed? Yeah, we really need leadership like this.
They had the majority 2000 - 2006, House, Senate AND WH. Did they reduce spending? Did they get rid of any prospects for amnesty? Did they secure the border? No, they didn't, but we DID get the 'Patriot Act'. How's that working out for ya?
which was really hypocritical on McConnell's part, seeing as how McConnell was the person who offered a similar proposal for the Senate's consideration when the Democrats were filibustering/blocking Bush's nominees. Reid is by far a bigger hypocrite (on this issue, as well as others), but McConnell's opposition to curing the Senate's dysfunction when it comes to dealing with executive appointments was an about face.
