Poor Hairy, he sometimes has a brain f—t where he forgets that the Republicans now own the House, and it’s so what.

Harry Reid is not Hugo Chavez.

Or is he?

With Zer0 as president Dingy Harry is as close as anyone can be to Hugo.

Democrats live in a world of hypocrisy the MSM will NEVER point out.

Well, his fellow Dems up for election in 2012 may want him to reconsider because this guarantees tea party II and more GOP pickups.

This angers me — but doesn’t surprise me in the least. Harry Reid is a Liar. He is a power mad b*st*rd. He will [further] destroy what the Founders intended the Senate to be. He DOESN’T CARE.

People like Harry Reid should NEVER be allowed to hold office in this nation again. Ever. Sooner or later, Americans are going to HAVE to make it STOP.

Reid is gone as the majority leader in 2012 with 23 Dem Senators up for election. I see a dozen of them being gone in the next election. If you do it Reid, ObamaCare is easily gone as is the rest of your trashy legislation you jammed in during the lame duck.

I find it hard to believe that reid is going throw
225 years of Senate history out the window and
claim the Senate is not a continuing body

I actually love this because if he thought it was a bloodbath in November, in 2 years you won’t see a “D” around anywhere.

IIRC, the Republican measure was only regarding appointments (judges, agency heads, etc.), not all sorts of other votes as Reid proposes. IOW, if the GOP attempt was the “nuclear option”, the Democrats are proposing a “doomsday option”.

Currently, under Senate Rule 22 it takes a three-fifths vote, or 60 senators, for cloture to shut off the potentially endless debate known as a filibuster.

But it takes a two-thirds vote, or 67 Senators, to change a Senate rule.

Is he on drugs ???

He barely had [for a short period of time in the last Senate] the 60 votes needed to invoke cloture. But, under current Senate rules, he would have needed 7 GOP to cross over to overturn the rule.

In the new Senate, he will only have 54 votes, meaning that 6 GOP would need to cross over in order to invoke cloture. And, he would need another 7 GOP to cross over to overturn the rule.

Thats 13 GOP crossing over in the new Senate - DUH !!! Ya think its gonna happen ???

What would the Founding Fathers have done to the Harry Traitor? We live in a very dangerous time where Traitors are in most of the positions of high power.

Dingy Harry needs only 51 Democrats to go along with him. If he wants to be more just a titular majority leader, that’s the card he’s going to play when the new Congress convenes on Monday.

the left deparately wants the ability to replace one of the 5 conservative justices so they can write whatever they want as constitutional law.

this, with a calculated connivance against one of the five to step down/retire/pass away, will accomplish their wishes.
