It's a fact that whichever party is in power usually wants the "nuclear option" and the minority does not.

As for Dems "respecting the elections"? Bullshit. They fought tooth and nail with Bush.
Difference is, Bush was good at working with them and getting them to negotiate.

Obama hasn't shown that ability. He has been "my way or the highway" and it has resulted in a nightmare.

Remember? When Bush became president in 2000, the Democrats were outright proclaiming that he "stole" the election from Gore. LOTS of bad feelings.
But Bush reached out. For better or worse (I believe worse), Bush used his LEADERSHIP skills to get the Dems to bend.

Clinton did the same thing with the Republicans.

Reagan did the same thing with the Democrats.

And most Presidents in history were leaders and worked with the opposition.

Obama has not.
And the excuse by the Obama-Maniacs is that all the Republicans from top to bottom are....RACISTS. And so is anybody that questions Obama in any way, shape, or form.

I believe that the Democrats are going to regret this.

Because sooner or later, the Republicans will one day be the majority party again. And when that happens...and the Dems are the minority party, they will learn what it's like to have ZERO say in governing.

With no filibuster, it means that the minority party loses it's power. But don't take my word on it...listen to Obama and Reid's OWN words when they were the minority party.

They are hypocrites.
