“Overturning the will of the people” is exactly the rationale the Senate democrats will use in 2009 when they employ “the nuclear option” to change the 60-vote filibuster rule, so that a “minority” of 42 Republicans won’t be able to thwart “the will of the people”....

The spineless GOP could have used an existing rule (nuclear option) to get a floor vote on judicial appointments a few years back but chose to capitulate to the left. The majority makes the rules. When the GOP starts acting like conservatives again then they will regain control of Congress and make the rules. Copying the left’s agenda obviously doesn’t appeal to voters. They opted for the real thing instead.

I know, I literally tear my hair watching the GOP keep trying to “play nice” with these ravenous wolves called the Democratic Party. The Dems are a party of corrupt thieves and they have absolutely no scruples whatsoever. You have to fight fire with fire. I just cannot believe, however, that the USA would vote in such an extreme SOCIALIST!!!!! I know there was a ton of voter fraud but that too, is just astounding. I can’t get over how our countries are heading south (to hell) in such a hurry. There NEEDS to be a very swift turn around and waking up. Canadians need to get off their A$$es and fight for a change. Americans, need to wake up to what is coming to their neighbourhood - SOON. CO
