Democrats hate our troops. They want to undermine them.

Hey, if the “nuclear option” was good enough for Harry Reid and the socialists, it should be good enough for Mitch and the progressives.

[Kaslin]

They sure do and I despise them along with that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave

[RJS1950]

Mitch is the bitch of Reid. He’s one of them.

[Not now, Not ever!]

Hey, if the “nuclear option” was good enough for Harry Reid and the socialists, it should be good enough for Mitch and the progressives.

agreed, if only Yertel would do it, don't hold your breath, but we can hope.

Here is how this works:

McConnell revises the rule to allow for a simple majority to end a filibuster.

Republicans finally kill Obama’s agenda and get CONSERVATIVE things done.

This willingness and ability to stop Obama and advance Conservative causes establishes credibility with the broad spectrum of GOP AND Independent voters.

The GOP wins the White House and regains the Senate in 2016.

If you learn to fight and win, you can stop fretting over “what if the libs get back in power?”.

Send them all to Syria.

I thought that they could not filibuster budget bills?

[dsrtsage]

Well, these days bills require 100% democrat support to even get past committe

[Joe Boucher]

obammy wants to shut down Gitmo.
This forbids that.
This stupid very little boy with elephant ears is one serious a-hole.

[originalbuckeye]

Why couldn’t they just reinstitute the filibuster if/before the Dems take over the Senate again? (which look likely in 2016, as we have so many seats to defend)

[Kickass Conservative]

It must be wonderful being a Democrat. You can get away with anything and there are absolutely no consequences.

Coincidentally, the same goes for Babies, Kittens and Puppies.

[combat_boots]

No. They want them dead. During or after their service.

[G Larry]

Not our call.

The new Majority leader get’s to make that call.

[Theodore R.]

What percent of military people are Democrats? I don’t know: I would guess 33 percent.

[Theodore R.]

KY is trying to rid itself of its McC, or is it? AZ wants its McC for life.

[GreyFriar]

Definitely, Mitch should do the “nuclear option” and make bh0 either sign or veto. That puts the onus on him. Mitch should have done that right after the new Republican Senate majority was sworn in.

[Moonman62]

Obstructionists.

[Kaslin]

That RINO should have reversed the super majority requirement when he took the senate over.
