“REPUBLICANS SAY THEY’D RESTORE FILIBUSTER IF IN POWER”
Same old gutless spineless political hacks taking it where the sun don’t shine from the RATS!
There go the Republicans... yet again promising to snatch another defeat from the jaws of victory.
The GOP was coopted by the left years ago. There is only one super party now. The only way to defeat them is to remove all of them from office.
Gutless!
And if a Republican takes the White House in 2016 and the Democrats filibuster every appointment he/she tries to make, then what?
Actually, I support bringing back the filibuster, since there will be a DEMOCRAT president for at least the next two years...if not longer.
The filibuster means only 41 Republicans are needed to block his extremists, not 51, as is now needed. That means that conservatives (along with those that are mostly conservative), can stop this garbage, whereas now it is very unlikely to get 51 Republicans to agree on anything.
So...let’s re-visit the filibuster rule, but ONLY AFTER Republicans control the Senate and White House.
SO WHAT ? It would be good PR; until 2016 , all the nominations are going to be coming from Obama anyway, and the change of the filibuster rules applies only to nominations. So it makes it easier to filibuster an Obama nomination. THAT’s A Good Thing.
Sorry, I should have scrolled the whole list, you made the point better half an hour before I was up.
Establishment Republicans are very interested in keeping the "gains" that the Democrats made.Exactly.Utterly no surprise.
The GOP-e wants to be able to blame the Democrats for all the problems that ensue, while at the same time reaping the benefit$ from their totalitarian policie$.
This is giving away your leverage before going into negotiations. They ought to be telling the Democrats that they are going to take their rules and run with them to enact the GOP agenda. Payback is a beach.
I’ve seen enough to believe that most of them are what I said they were.
“One more thing to add to your list - publicly declare that the GOP will be providing just enough votes to restore the filibuster IF every Democrat votes for it.”
IMHO, the only thing we can rely on Dims to deliver is tyranny.
