NOW the GOP wants to change the Filibuster rules?

McCarthy: GOP Should Abolish Filibuster
McCarthy GOP Should Abolish Filibuster - Breitbart
You can't make this shit up!
The GOP sets records for the number of attempted Senate clotures when they aren't in power, but when they gain power, all of a sudden they want to change the rules.
Does anyone think the Dems will agree? They had been crying and moaning about the GOP's historical clotures approach. Now, how will they feel about it now?
All this "party first" by both parties continues as America continues to spin it's wheels.

We're you this upset when Harry Reid changed the rules?

 

[Manonthestreet]

Doesnt matter ...your 24 hr mantra is govt is broken......... we need to fix it ........rrriiigghhhhtttttt.........you sound like obstructionist do nothings........

 

[Manonthestreet]

the "work" of the American people is too important to let partisans get in the way........

 

[WillowTree]

Harry Reid stuffed over 300 house bills in the garbage for six years! That's not getting the work of the people done!

 

[TooTall]

Of course they want to change the rules. Now they can't get their shit passed either. Karma.

The Democrats couldn't get their liberal appointments confirmed so they did change the filibuster rule.

 

[TooTall]

It is beyond HYPOCRITICAL that NaziCons now want to abolish the Senate filibuster. They don't like it when BOTH sides can play the same silly fucking un-American games.

As it is also hypocritical for you to whine about this, while Uncle Harry changed rules when convenient.
Cam you link me the thread where you bitched about him?

STFU

Did Harry ever try to use the so-called "nuclear option" to end filibustering?

Harry did change the filibuster rule to get scumbag appointments confirmed with 51 votes.

 

[Lakhota]

Of course they want to change the rules. Now they can't get their shit passed either. Karma.

The Democrats couldn't get their liberal appointments confirmed so they did change the filibuster rule.

But not on Supreme Court nominations or legislation.

Hey, moron, the democrats were in control of the Senate. OMFG how dumb can you be?

 

[blackhawk]

And the ones now using the filibuster are same ones who called the Republicans the party of no for using it you truly can't make this shit up.

Classic conservative short-sightedness, the Senate democrats were not stupid but I guess this guy is.

Don't you mean four years?

Horty, you don't understand.

Pointing out your hypocrisy does not make us hypocrites. This point of this thread was to point out your hypocrisy and laugh at it.

You can say "your Party's hypocrisy" or "the Republicans' hypocrisy" but, unless you can show where I bitched about crazy uncle Harry changing rules, you don't get to say "your hypocrisy".
The party in power takes control. It's one of the perks of being the majority.

In the words of every dembulb that told us that the ACA is now the law of the land: "Deal with it"

Another amazingly distorted OP. One key fact missing from the OP is that Republicans have resorted to so many cloture votes over the last several years because there have been so many radical, harmful proposals made in Congress over that same time period. Obama's election saw the introduction of numerous far-left pieces of legislation, and thank goodness the Republicans managed to block or force modifications on many or most of them.

Democrats didn't have to resort to cloture votes when they were in the minority because the Republicans did not introduce a bunch of crazy bills. And what exactly did Democrats block when they were in the minority? Humm, let's see: bills to reform Freddie and Fannie to stop them from securing/financing so many sub-prime mortgages (and we all paid dearly for the Democrats' demagoguery on that issue), bills to drastically improve border security, bills to take advantage of our huge offshore oil resources, a balanced budget amendment (yeah, and now we're $18 trillion in debt), an immigration reform bill that included tough border security actions and vigorous workforce enforcement in exchange for varying degrees of legalization for illegals based on their circumstances, etc., etc.

Dems have reason to change rules = good
Reps have reason to change rules = bad

Simple really

So why do you believe that? I mean, you don't see any Democrats saying that, only Republicans, so you Republicans need to explain it.

No we don't. All we need to do is play the same rules games you assholes do and pass what we want. You got obiecare that way, you wanted judges installed that way and obie doesn't care about any rules or laws just EO's.

Fuck you. You made this bed. As long as we have power we will use what you made up as rules out of thin air. You lawless fuckers chose this path let's hope it bites you in the ass.

Math is a problem for you. As well as calenders and clocks.

 

[Nyvin]

The filibuster won't go away. There's too many old judges in the Supreme Court and the GOP doesn't want to risk losing those seats in 2017-2018.

The Democrats controlled the House until the beginning of 2011....

2014 - 2010 = 4 years

Democrats only used it when it counted, not on every fucking thing no matter what and yes, the republicans did indeed try to pass some crazy bills. Also no F+F reform bill ever passed congress until democrats took over in 2006, kind of blows your theory that they blocked it. Prior bills died in the house banking committee because members were loath to impose regulation on anything.
