"Nuclear Option"

First, what ding-a-ling started calling this the "nuclear option?"  But, the name is irrelevant in the larger scheme of things.

How is it spelled?  H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E-S!!!!!!  Yes, I think that's it.  So the Democrats rammed through legislation to change Senate rules that have been in place for more than a century.  Generally restricted to confirmation of federal judge appointments (excluding Supremes), it nevertheless exposes, yet another time, the hypocrisy of Democrats--and Republicans!

Let's take a trip in the way-back machine--Poof!  Magic!--about five or six years ago.  Weren't the shoes on the other feet?  Change the dates and the parties, but keep the "outrage."  Yep, then, the Republicans were trying to change the rules and the Democrats were crying "Foul!"  Now, it's the Democrats who actually have changed the rules and the Republicans are upset.

Again, I ask, "How can any right-minded person continue to vote for the majority of Democratic and/or Republican candidates?"  To do so seems to confirm my view that a vote for either party, as opposed to a minor/third party, is a wasted vote.  Of course, maybe many people don't think a vote for a Bozo is wasted; I'm not sure.

And here's the President, whose photo must be next to the word "hypocrite" in the dictionary," talking about "the gears of government have go to work" and that the old rules are "a reckless and relentless too to grind all business to a halt."  Wait a minute!  We can use that way-back machine again--Poof!  Magic!--to locate that You Tube video of then Senator Obama giving a seven-minute speech lambasting the Republicans for trying to do what his own Democrats did yesterday--and now he lauds his own party for it!

And one might intelligently argue--Well at least I might argue, I don't know how intelligently--that "the gears of government" should be ground to "a halt."  What are these Bozos doing passing laws that have 20,000 pages of regulations and codes?  Look at the federal income tax laws and codes.  Look at ObamaCare. These fools don't know what's in what they've passed; if they can read, they surely haven't read the laws.  If they have read them, then they are fully responsible for all the junk that they spew.  I don't know what's worse--not reading them and passing anyway or reading them, knowing they are junk, and passing anyway. Regardless, a pox on both their arrogant, elitist houses.

Remember the WSJ a few years back, speaking of Congress, "Don't do something; just stand there."

While I'm at it, a poll the other day for the 2014 US Senate seat in Michigan shows Gary Peters ahead of Terri Lynn Land by a point, 37% to 36%.  I know the election is still a year away.  I know that means 27% of the voters are still undecided.  But how can this be?  How can Peters be within a light-year of Land?  First, she's hardly a staunch conservative and, as state secretary of state, streamlined much of the state government dealing with, well, us.  But, more significant, Peters is one of those Bozos who voted for ObamaCare and, now, supports a bill delaying its implementation for a year--you know, "We're not going to screw you now; we're going to wait until next year."  How distressing that this guy is still anywhere in the ballpark, let alone leading by a point!  Perhaps the Apocalypse is closer than I think??????
