Is that really a bad idea? LOL!
Yippee!!!!!!! *\;-)
what source are you quoting ?
This infatuation with bipartisanship just doesn’t hold the same enchantment for us working stiffs.
I think it’s a great checks and balances system to ensure we don’t have a tyranny of any particular one party. Since the majority of the agenda being foisted on the American people since Obama’s inauguration is against their will, I’d say the system which guards against a majority party running roughshod over everyone else is working as it’s supposed to!
You know, it always amazes me that FR lets you forget something when posting! Here’s the link:

Anyone who thinks setting the Senate loose will do anything other than damage the country at an accelerated pace, is a complete and total, clueless chump.
“Id say the system which guards against a majority party running roughshod over everyone else is working as its supposed to!”
I agree. But we citizens sure have had to scream loud and long for the idiots in DC to hear us...and they’re STILL ignoring us for the most part.
I see another DNC operative is masquerading as an “Editorial Writer”.
These rat b@st@rds BETTER realize that if they “reform” senate rules to cram their “change” thru,we can use them to abolish them and then some!Like the entire leftist welfare system as well as the current “progressive” tax system, the rulings on CO2 as a man made toxin- theres no limit to what WE can do with that!
Right. Because nobody has the integrity and the discipline to stop the madness and do the right thing. Of course it depends on what the definition of "hard stuff" is. I bet there aren't more than a handful in either house who have the integrity or the discipline.
Frankly, outside of GROPac, “reach around politics” just doesn’t cut it these days.
In Wisconsin? You can set your watch by them. ;)
Yes. I’m praying this latest “We’re going to pass this healthcare bill no matter what” effort is just posturing for their base. Can’t imagine this nightmare becoming law!!
Congress trying to do a zillion things guarantees that it does nothing well, and certainly cannot do well the few things that it is supposed to be doing.
But UGH, that lefty rag !
I am sure you can find the same editorial board
damming the GOP for the nuclear option in 2005 !
Another thing that bothers me is the rush to do things as fast as possible.
Our government was designed to work at a snail’s pace for a reason. It prevents stupid knee jerk reactions. The only time speed is required or desired out of government is in the case of a military attack or major national disaster.
LOL, I guarantee these sick scumbags at the Journal-Sentinel never cared about the “tyranny of the minority” when the Republicans controlled both chambers, and when the rat senate minority was holding up most of Bush’s judge appointments.
Some of the “hard stuff”, as mentioned by the writer of this screed, probably should NOT be done.
And I am altogether in favor of reverting to a 67-vote minimum for the cloture votes on any items up for debate in the Senate. The purpose of the Senate IS to serve as a moderating voice on the more, um, unusual, demands on the public’s attention.
If I had to take a guess, this editorial could probably be ascribed to the Madison, Wisconsin, Capital Times. Or maybe the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinal.
