On the nuclear option (for dummies)
« on: November 23, 2013, 09:34:42 AM »
I know you guys are pretty excited about this, and that's fine, but understand this.

You got it done towards the end of the first year of his second term so you got 3 years to get your business done.

Once the Rethugs get back into power...and they will...we are going to  :censored: you folkes everyday from day one.

A second term...oh my...that's eight full years of  :censored:.

So...do it while you can.

I'm afraid not. This is a temporary rule change for this term of the senate only. Also Mr. Turtle has said he will not use the 51 rule if the republicans get back in power. It's like the elite of the GOP want the country to go down the drain. I wish they played for our team but they really do not.

Mr. Turtle?  Are you talking about McConnell?  If so, he's up for reelection next year being challenged by a Matt Bevin.

The problem is, our team wants the fans of the other team to like them, so they ignore their own fans.

Maybe that might be your team but it's not mine.

Freep, I know what you are saying.

McCain, Graham, Pete King, Rubio...They are ostensibly on our team but they really aren't.

I know you are.
