        So it's OK for Reid to do it, but it's not OK for McConnell to do it? Congratulations on solidifying yourself as an arrogant partisan hack. Granted, arrogance was never in question.

            Nope, not what I said. But I wouldn't expect anyone to understand the history of what has happened since Bush II left office.

                Now, that's exactly the opposite of what he was saying. He's pointing out that when Reid did it the GOP squealed about the irreparable harm to the World's Greatest Deliberative Body, but now that the GOP has a majority all of a sudden it's just good horse sense. That's GOP hypocrisy. If the Dems in return say that the GOP doing that will be An Affront to God and Man, then that will be Dem hypocrisy.

                  No, it's exactly what I was saying. As much as your points about the hypocritical GOP are true, you must remember that despite the fact that Reid is filibustering now, he exercised the nuclear option in 2013. The fact that you are neglecting that piece of information shows that are also participating in political pandering.

                    Oh, what a crock.

                    He only used the nuke option so they could actually fill some of the positions they couldn't fill because everyone Obama wanted to hire got filibustered.

                    Your ability to completely ignore facts is staggering.

                      And yet, you forget the constant filibustering for 2005. Amazing how you have such a short term memory.

                        Another crock. The Bush administration was the last one to see true compromise and all the compromise came from the Democrats. No one said here that the filibuster wasn't a valid tactic.

                        Now go get some more Heritage Foundation talking points like you always do. Do you have them on speed dial?

                            The Dems may have actually won one.

                            http://www.startribune.com/politics/...293955951.html

                            WASHINGTON - Senior Republicans conceded on Tuesday that the grueling fight with President Obama over the regulation of Internet service appears over, with the president and an army of Internet activists victorious.

                            The Federal Communications Commission is expected on Thursday to approve regulating Internet service like a public utility, prohibiting companies from paying for faster lanes on the Internet.
                            Yay.

                              I'll believe it when I see it. But that would go a way towards convincing me it's a battle of good vs evil rather than less evil vs more evil.

                                For Pete's sake, Flag, I wasn't ignoring it, IT'S THE CENTRAL POINT IN MY POST!!!

                                I understand what you're saying and it's true -- Reid used it so if he now complains he's a hypocrite. But what Scoob said is also true -- Mitch bleated about it so if he now embraces it he's a hypocrite. We have both parties switching their rhetoric just based on where they stand at the trough, so both are hypocritical.

                                Why are you taking shots at people who are agreeing with you that sauce for the goose is good for the gander?
