Then vs now: The Democrats on the “nuclear option”

  As you are all aware by now yesterday Harry Reid implemented what the Democrats once called the “nuclear option” which means the Democrats and Barack Obama will have free reign to make political and judicial appointments.

  The Democrats now believe this is a great thing and the only way to preserve democracy and do the business of the people, but of course they did not always feel the same way.

  When the Republicans threatened to do this several years ago they were singing a different tune, basically stating that this would be the end of democracy.

  Today MSNBC, you read that right, MSNBC ran a video highlighting the position that Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Harry Reid took when the Republicans threatened to do this. (MSNBC is probably trying to get  back whatever credibility they may once have had before the Martin Bashir/Sarah Palin brouhaha earlier this week.)

  It is interesting to note that at the very end of the video the MSNBC reporter stated that this was one way for the Democrats to get the attention away from Obamacare because this is something that I wrote about yesterday.

  Here is the video:

  Of course the Republicans are now up in arms because the Democrats exercised the “nuclear option” when they threatened to do the same thing. It is funny the way positions change base solely on which party is in power for they are only interested in ruling over us and not in what is doing best for us. I think it is likely the Republicans are embarrassed because the Democrats had the balls to do what they didn’t dare to do.
