Washington is chock-full of hypocrisy, no doubt. The difference is however, that as IDIOTIC as W's agenda was, the Dems let almost all of his retarded plans get through. They did not shut down the government and stop the wheels of America, just because they thought his plans were fucking terrible... although in hindsight, perhaps they should have.
Also, Obama was ACTUALLY ELECTED by the MAJORITY of the populace, twice, as opposed to W. who required Florida cronyism and the Supreme Court.
I can also post videos here, where McConnell wanted EXACTLY the same rule change that Reid enacted yesterday, when the R's had the majority. My video (just directly above this post), shows an egregious Republican rule change that cost the taxpayers billions of dollars and accomplished nothing, in an effort to prevent progress, as is the way of the GOP.
In addition, the "filibuster" has not "always been an important part of govt. since the beginning" as you say, as it is not even part of the constitution.
