Nuclear Option

Political debate, not about elections – GD.

In that it was the “Constitutional Option” then.

Works for me…what I’m really interested in at this point is whether Ravenman will admit his error.

:confused: This dude is One True Scotsman! What, ya wanna pull his con-card over McCain-Feingold or some shit?!

I appreciate you trying to defend** the R man **but conservatives don’t refer to themselves as “centrists”…deluded liberals do.
Quote: “Ornstein is a long-time friend of current U. S. Senator and former comedian Al Franken. Despite working at the conservative-leaning AEI, Ornstein considers himself a centrist.[3]”

No, deceitful conservatives do. Pretty damn’ often. (It even happens around here sometimes but they always get called on it.)

Really? The descriptive term “centrists”? Got any examples???

You aren’t speaking of conservative who would state (accurately) that we are a center-right country are you?

Are you still thinking???

Or else they say, “I’m not a conservative, but…”

Nonsense …conservative don’t try to hide from the fact like liberals do.

Because what Reid is doing in this case is enforcing cloture not circumventing it. the nuclear option was Senate Republicans threatening to ignore the filubuster and circumvent the cloture requirement. This bill got cloture, republicans tried to back door filubuster it and Reid just got sick of the latest in a line of Republican douchebaggery.
