The true ‘change’ that 0bama promised. To quote Rahm from a few years back ‘Republicans can go **** themselves’.

When things screwup they cant blame the Republicians.

It's not the hundred or so Republicans in Congress that Pelosi is screwing. It's the millions of ordinary American citizens they represent.

They can, and they will, and the media will cheer. The sheeple will believe the media because they can’t “lie on television”.

Shrug... the GOP should have done this when it was in charge.
I really don't see the big problem here. To the victor go the spoils. Perhaps the GOP will need to move to win back a majority in 2010. Of course, if it does manage to do that, it will probably reinstate all of these rules "out of fairness."

They will be arguing that “Bush did it” for the next 20 years.

Republicans need to take a page from the Obama election campaign. They very successfully organized and mobilized the Internet, and on the ground operatives to reach the grass roots voters. Give it back to them in spades!!!

always!!! but remember when you are out in your boat and a storm is approaching, “pray to God but row toward shore.” - which is great theology - and politics.
don’t just let it happen - do something!!!

So why did the Rinos bend over and spread-em when they were in the majority? Are the democrats the only ones who know how to take advantage of being the majority party?

This is great news. When republicans were running things they shared the power. Well I hope the twits learn something in case they ever get a second chance. But I doubt they will.

The GOP should have silenced the Democrats, thereby silencing their constituents? Yeah, THAT’S real Constitutional. Leave it to a “true conservative” to state an idea like that.

I sent a pretty harsh e-mail to my local House rep. It won’t do any good, but I did let off a little steam.

Leave it to a true conservative to state an idea like that.And why is that a bad idea, provided that it is indeed Constitutional? Since these are simply House Rules changes I highly doubt there would be a problem constitutionally.
During the time the GOP ran Congress, the Democrats were given a say. Look where it got the GOP.
