Reid and McConnell are sparring on C-Span2

[madamesilverspurs]

Harry looks as though he's ready to dig out his old boxing gloves. Mitch is smirking and lying through his teeth.

Harry's pissed about the abuse of Senate rules via the 60 vote requirement. Go Harry!

1. Thanks for the heads up.

2. Reid needs to learn

that Republicans don't play fair.

It's time to turn the tables on them in January after the Democratic Senate solidifies a little bit towards to the 60 number, but 2014 is a big year - nearly 2/3's of the R's are up for elections this time, and they are in MAJOR trouble.

Then Reid needs to remove the rules requiring filibuster to be clotured at 60. He'll enact a simple majority rule instead - and removing ALL Republicans from key committees and setting them into useless committees with no funding.

House: Easy enough - kick out the 'baggers, and start working on the goals set forth.

3. At the next opportunity, Democrats need to change the filibuster rules. nm
