Reid to Senate Republicans: Filibuster deal in 36 hours or face nuclear option

The Hill ^

"Nuclear Option"....

The Left is certainly creative in coining buzz words and phrases guaranteed to scare the bejeebus out of the moronic low-information members of the public.

Our side should be so adept.

I lie, I cheat, I steal. I sacrifice unborn babies. I am the scum of the earth. I'm Harry Reid and I'm a temple recommend holding mormon.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Who gives a ****? the House GOP leadership is so strong that only bills that pass with the “pre nukyalur” option voting thresholds would be considered? Oh, wait....boehner is still there.....

[andyk]

Hahaha, after years of letting the Senate off the hook with continuing resolutions, this is how the GOP is paid back?

Dear GOP, grow a spine. Sincerely, screw you.

[ilgipper]

A) Make him do it, and B) Send Rubio, Lee, Johnson, Scott, and Cruz out on the media circuit right afterwards. Enough with the Sunday morning geezer club (McConnell, McCain, etc). Get strong, likable young leadership out front.

[Gaffer]

Ichabod McConnell should tell Reid to go eff himself. Let them do it; they’ll cheat anyway when it serves them. Grow some balls.

[SENTINEL]

Personally I think it’s better to be polite, honest, and be a really good shot.

[TexasCajun]

If Reid would go with the nuclear option, we have the house to still say no.

Then in 2014 we take the senate majority with Reid's new rule and Obama would be F'd!

Am I right on this?

Fascists

Wow that’s gonna backfire on Bobo when the Democrats lose the Senate in 2014 ... if a Supreme needs replacement 2014-2016, the furthest Left the GOP will give Bobo is Larry Tribe, a fairly conventional Liberal douchebag Harvard insider, instead of some 9th Panel Maoist ...

Dems are always portrayed as the ‘bipartisan’ ‘moderates’ versus the Republican ‘extremists’.
I can’t see the media successfully using that meme after this.

Sure, the dumbest sluts will continue to believe, but the merely-slightly-below-average-IQ voters won’t.

[DJ MacWoW]

The GOP doesn’t need any help. They can do it themselves.

[oldbrowser]

more accurate to describe it as the “Constitutional option” because the Constitution empowers each chamber to set its own rules.

Good. Let's have the House shut down the free money spigot.
Let's play hardball. The republicans should understand by now that you can't have gentleman's agreements with marxists.

[CityCenter]

You are correct. The Reps must take the Senate. Obama has about 18 months to push his agenda through. The House will be the only place where he can be blocked.

Spineless ninnies.
For once, bring on street fighters.
Let Ted Cruz and Mike Lee speak.

[sergeantdave]

The House can checkmate Reid’s commie senate by cutting off all funding for senate operations.

[Leep]

The neuclear cliff option..sounds really scary don’t it.
Im almost convinced they’re all in on it but they have to make it look like a big fight.

[KarlInOhio]

The words "unanimous consent" should be removed from the senate vocabulary for at least two years if Reid does this. He shouldn't be able to leave the podium to go to the restroom without debate and a recorded vote of the full senate to allow him to temporarily pass the gavel to someone else.
