The Dem's use of the 'Nuclear Option"

[Mr. Habib]

The Obama administration has threatened to use the so called 'nuclear option' to shove their health care agenda through Congress. Here is what they thought of it back in 2005. Breitbart.tv » Obama & Dems in 2005: 51 Vote ‘Nuclear Option’ Is ‘Arrogant’ Power Grab Against the Founder’s Intent

I am so glad that Obama has brought transparency and bipartisanship back to Washington.

It's a laugh riot until you realize these Jack***'s are going to do the same thing with Obamacare. Sad and scary.

I like the one comment in there that says something like, "The Republicans should just play this clip in the Senate, then all walk out."

Under the nuclear option, Republicans would seek to change the Senate's rules during floor debate over a court nominee. In one scenario, as outlined in an article in The National Journal, Republican Rules Committee Chairman Trent Lott, R-Miss., would raise a point of order seeking a ruling from the presiding officer in the chair -- probably Vice President Cheney, the president of the Senate -- stating that filibusters of nominations to the federal bench are unconstitutional."

Does anything ever really change? The sooner we realize that we are constantly distracted from what's good for the country by the left and the right will be the day we start to take things back. Our government is a business run by left and right interests that want to camouflage their true intent which is to perpetuate the status quo to allow them to remain in positions of power, prestige and MONEY, while they throw bones to the masses to keep them on the primrose path.

It's amazing that more people can't see through these guys - especially on this Health Care reconcilliation - the whole problem still is that Pelosi needs to get to 217 or 218 and since her original 220 votes for the first bill, 1 has died, 1 has retired and Joseph Cao - the lone republican has said he won't vote for it... We'll see

If it can be legitimately used, I say "let them." Filibustering is crap anyway. Do your little reconciliation, **** us off, and then get booted from office.

So true.

News stories have pointed out, over and over again that Republicans and Democrats are both hypocrites. Yet we are supposed to feel shocked every time this happens. Very WWF.
