1. Joe's place in the caucus was preserved last week |
|
HE donated $250,000 to the DSCC. HArry Reid got what he wanted so Joe gets what he wants.

2. Well, I'm sure he'll get a cabinet post under McCain... |
|
Because he sure as hell won't be elected Senator again.

After that it's "Oh hey Joe, no more committee assignments for you... and you can forget chairing any of them, and your office is on floor SB-3... all the way to the end of the hall, we'll get the exterminators down there real soon now... and, oh, btw, in the words of one of your heroes... "Go Fuck Yourself"".

4. Reid was talking up how much Joe will be needed for filibusters |
|
Joe will still chair the Homeland Security committee. He'll get some plum committee assingments.
HE threw HArry a bone so Harry will definitely roll over.

5. It all depends on how many we pick up... but even with Joe |
|
we are unlikely to break the filibuster (need 60).
So... they kept threatening the "nuclear option" when they had a majority, threatened it so much that they often got exactly what they wanted.
I suggest that the Dems grow an Obama spine and do it right back to them. If they call our bluff, go nuclear on their ass. We need to restore balance and the constitution NOW, it's truly a "break glass in case of emergency" situation.
