Gee Reid, why don't you want to force any changes through before the election? Worried they might bite you on the butt next year when you are in the minority?
Man up Reid. Propose specific changes to the filibuster rule that you want to enact. That way the Republicans can point to your support when they enact them next year.

Reid will be indicted by then.

You won’t hold the Senate, Reid, and it’s looking more and more like Hussein won’t win either.
To: Bubba_Leroy
Reid, there are differences between you and a t*rd:
1. A t*rd is more intelligent.
2. A t*rd is more useful.
3. A t*rd is more honest.
4. A t*rd is more trustworthy.
5. A t*rd can be flushed.
Hopefully, soon we’ll talk to you a bit more about difference #5.
Shove it up your dishonest, low IQ, crooked septic Obama, Reidhole.

They have tipped their hand however.
If they EVER regain the Senate you can bet the filibuster will be gone, and they’ll hit the ground running with a plan to ram thru the entire Socialist agenda in the first 90 days.
To: Bubba_Leroy
Reid ISNT going to keep the Senate, and I know he had nefarious reasons, however, I actually agree that if they want to filibuster they should have to stay on the floor of the Senate. No more of this “Im going to filibuster” crap...

The is no way - until He$$ freezes over - that both bozo the clown wins his WH back AND Harry Reid maintains control over the Senate in the Nov 6 election.

Yeah, we’re use to your underhandedness. This is why you will not last another election. People are coming to their senses.

Reid, I'll tell you I told the Republicans when they were in charge but not by much. If you don't like the filibuster, then don't accept the postcard check-off version of it. Make your opponent hold the floor 24 hours a day, 7 days a week if they want to filibuster. The Dems would have broken after a few days if the Republicans forced the issue. I would give the current batch of Republicans under fifteen minutes before they throw in the towel if Reid enforces a real filibuster.

Reid spoke in a morning session over which Sen. Tom Udall (D-N.M.) presided, and noted Udall's proposal last year to amend the filibuster rules. Udall is a leading proponent of reform, and last year proposed that senators should have to remain on the floor in order to maintain a filibuster. He also proposed an end to secret holds on nominations. Well, I just read this part and I have no idea when (or if they really did, Reid might be lying) this change was made. I had assumed that no one forced the other side to speak constantly because both sides (especially the reach across the aisle Republicans) wanted to be congenial rather than force a real fight.

Wait ‘til the Republicans try this after they’re in the majority! Just imagine the screaming and hollering! The knashing of teeth! The rending of hair! The holding of breath! The running away from home!
