Don’t ask me “what on earth are you talking about? “ about a widely known issue, then proceed to lecture me on the ins and is outs of the Senate. If the last 2 years, lame duck, ate SO important, then why did the Republicans in the Senate give over the filibuster right?

Stop defending the piece of crap RINOS. They suck as bad as the Democrats.

What are you babbling about "give over the filibuster right"? Harry Reid TOOK IT. Harry Reid changed the rules with a simple majority vote. It's called the "nuclear option". Are you this ignorant of what's been going on? EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN, even the most RINO of RINO's opposed this. Unfortunately, this can be done with a pure majority vote, and the Democrats had the majority. Had we won the Senate in 2010 or 2012, this would NOT have happened. If we win the Senate in 2014, Harry Reid no longer has this ability since he will not have a majority any longer.

You simply do not know what you are talking about.
