re: It's time for McConnell to go nuclear on the filibuster rule

Do you really not think the Democrats will get rid of it the next time they have consolidated power?

When the Dims passed Odumbf*ckCare, they had a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. What stopped them from instituting full Socialized Medicine was that those Senators who weren't in Blue States realized that any such vote would completely end their career. See, e.g., Mary Landrieu. Just to get Odumbf*ckCare they had to make deals like the so-called "Louisiana Purchase."

And, despite Odumbf*ck's assurances that he could save their jobs just by his magnanimous personality, Odumbf*ckCare is what led to the Senate and House going over to the Republicans. All of those Senators who feared for their jobs if they enacted Socialized Medicine, wound up losing their jobs anyway by voting for the Odumbf*ckCare.

So, I don't think that just getting 50 Dem Senators, 218 Reps, and the Presidency will necessarily lead to Socialized Medicine -- unless those Congressmen who aren't in DEEP Blue states are willing to sacrifice their political careers over it.
