If it weren’t for double standards, they’d have no standards at all.

You think any of them cares about some minor incosistencies? Did you hear Rush playing back to back Pelosi sound-bites about the IPCC yesterday? None of these folks has any shame at all.

ML/NJ

Thanks! Did a search and it didn’t come up—but that’s okay, this is so GREAT it should go viral over the internet, LOL!!

For the ones up for re-election, the Republicans better use this in their campaigns if this Congress DOES go nuclear!

Just posted it to my facebook page.

Biden truly IS the gift that keeps on giving. His comments were priceless. If we had a questioning media, Biden would be struggling to explain his obvious contradictions.

when Andrew said wait till this years election cycle for what he has in store for the MSM and Politicians. It should be very interesting. Finally someone in the media who at least points out their hypocrisy.

This is great ammunition, but several other notes need to be attached, if you show it to your libtard pals. For example, it needs to be pointed out that the nuclear option originally referred to Republicans consideration of changing the rules to end a FILIBUSTER on some 200 of Bush's judicial nominees who were tied up by Dems. This is pretty small potatoes compared with changing the health care options of every American, living and unborn in the future.

It should also be noted that this nuclear option was NEVER USED by Republicans.

The term “nuclear option” is being scrupulouly avoided by the media now, in favor of the milder and affable-sounding “reconciliation”.

Ya, I’ve noticed nobody in the MSM is talking about “nuclear option”. I think the talking points have gone out that this term is verboten.

Of course, in ‘05 with Republicans considering how to fight Dem. filibusters, any changes were called the “nuclear option” freely by the MSM.
