OF COURSE... they're like a 6 yr old spoiled BRAT ! (not hot dog)
I was surprised to hear this AM that >50% of the appointments hung up by filibutering in the Senate have happened under BO (i.e. last 5 years > all previous years combined)!! What I also loathe is the GOP saying - the Dems did it too... but NOT on that level... quantitatively the GOTP has them beat 3 to 1 !! It is NOT the SAME (which they try to sell).
I think we're going to descend into legislative HELL !! I also hope the American people see that what ever happens, the GOTP "leaders" (read mouthpieces) have EXACTLY the same "line of comment" to the EXACT same words !! - Doesn't this indicate they are being coached and given matching orders... WHF is doing this? Boehner, McConnell, or someone like Fox, Rush, or the Koch Bros. Same nouns, verbs and phrases in between**... isn't THAT kinda scary ?? Like "Heil, somebody"!

At the risk of sounding like a broken record: FOX NEWS [INSIDER] Frank Luntz Frank Luntz Luntz's description of his job revolves around exploiting the emotional content of language. "Words That Work:It's Not What You Say, It's What People Hear.".pdf
...or as Mom would say: "He Makes the SnowBalls & THEY Throw Them!"
When you see those judical appointment numbers, 81 for many Presidents and 82 for BO alone, it's SO lopsided even an idiot could see it. THAT's what they need to show- over and over... that's why the Nuclear option; but ONLY on appointments, NOT everything !! What's worse is both sides have flipped and the GOP would be doing the same damm thing (but 5 years earlier) if it were their President !! mortor forkers !!
One Dem on Ed's show said they'll likely keep the filibuster rule on legislation next Jan (new session rules) BUT will require the filibustering Senators to stand and hold the floor... no more protests and the Senators go home or to a bar ! They have to do it like Jimmy Stewart in Mr Smith !! I think the American voters will agree with that !! The filibuster rules got FAR TOO LAX and sloppy !! The GOP has only themselves to blame but like the shutdown, it's ALWAYS someone else's fault !! . . ..motor fokkers !!
