We know they're gonna use it....Schumer said it months ago...
The big problem still remains...NO ONE has finalized how they will confiscate the money from us worker bees....

This really is getting closer to war...they’re going to try to force this down our throats...maybe that’s why Barry doesn’t want to move troops from here to Afghanistan.
More in my annoyed mind than anything.

If we work hard and KEEP UP THE PRESSURE, especially in states with blue dog rat senators, Reid may be unable to even get 50 votes.

Please Harry, do it!
Prove to all of America how out of touch and arrogant the Democrats are.
Give us one more example of why you need to be voted out of office.

The Republicans have already said they will use every trick possible to delay or stop it. If they do schedule a nuclear option vote on this we should schedule an armed march the same day in DC. Permit be damned.

More pluffing for the Moveon.org nuts. The Gop can stop the use of nuclear option with procedural moves and the staff until the deadline of Oct 15.Reid does not have the votes and he knows it.

If I were him I’d be sending as many of our troops overseas as possible. If the military thinks we have a domestic enemy in the Oval Office, they may ask the CinC to resign.

The American People (those of us who actually *do* something) just might have a “Nuclear Option” of our own.

We the People might need to exercise our nuclear option. Nuke the federal government and start over.
