In the end, it was Democrats who elected to use the so-called “nuclear option”. There is a certain irony to this as they were so openly critical when Republicans were in the majority and there was talk of such an action. The difference was Republicans thought better of compromising the process. Now whether that was because they feared their re-elections might be jeopardized, or rather because they actually feared how it might affect this great Republic, we may never know. That aside, this recent action by Harry Reid clearly demonstrates an ideological power grab of the most deliberate and despicable kind.
Obviously fearful for his party’s 2014 prospects as the President’s numbers continue to plummet, Reid has decided all bets are off when it comes to the Liberal Progressive agenda. And he’s prepared to forward that agenda in spite of any opposition, and while he still can.
These are truly desperate political times in our country, and our children’s futures hang in the balance. For this reason, I think it imperative we take special note of the hypocrisy and downright lies put forth by Liberal Democrats on Capitol Hill and at the White House of recent. In doing so we may finally (begin) to return “truth and reason” to our system of government.
