Good point!
I remember thinking that when Bush changed some of the rules that it could be used the wrong way in the hands of evil doers.
So, let the evil doers (Dems) know that we can change the rules when it's our turn.
“I have a dream that honorable and centrist Democrats temporarily leave their party in protest and caucus with the GOP until this POS is thrown out of office or his term expires.”
We are dealing with a party that has no American patriots at all, simply buch of rogues who are either ignorant or on the take.
The last patriot they had was Joe Lieberman who was willing to diss his party for the good of the country.
Before him, I always admired Patrick Moynihan to do the same.
I agree that the Republicans should use the “nuclear retaliation” threat against the Democrats, that if Reid goes ahead and does this, and gets enough votes to do this, then the Republicans when next in control of the senate will marginalize the Democrats, so they can no longer logjam the senate.
Which, they might add, will make it a snap to repeal Obamacare, build the border fence, revitalize the military at the expense of the bureaucracy, fire vast numbers of federal employees, and utterly crush those federal agencies that are currently abusing their power.
If conservatives turn out in 2014 to create a GOP majority in the Senate, then the GOPe could be in the way of your wish. The GOPe would never take the rule changes the democrats used to slam through the Dem agenda rather they would put the old rules back in place and remain quiet about it.
Well Yes, yes they do.
They are probably right.
Nobody keeps power forever. All they're doing is adding to the casualty rate when it does go sideways.
