I thought the Democrats put in the number to stop a filibuster at 51 (nuclear option or whatever that was)? Overriding anything takes 67 Senators and 290 (2/3 of 435) Congressmen, which they don't have.

that only for judicial and cabinet appointment, everything else is still 60.

Because the young fvcks obviously can't or won't do it. As demonstrated by the vote today the majority of the people do not agree with you. I think Harry Reid is also an old fvck.

I hope you enjoy your dung.
it's amazing how bad people don't read to gain context, if you saw what we were talking about it's the way the incumbent system works that makes it so McConnell can't be taken out EVER.. Kentucky will never vote a democrat over McConnell.

A better question would be Why don't the young vote in younger people if that is what they want?
Again,

what young repukelican stands a chance in Pelosi's district?
what young democrook stands a chance against McConnell

Those are JUST 2 examples of MANY strongholds that will never be changed and without term limits will never allow entry for younger candidates.

McConnell is a guy the democrats will hate, because he's a republican. and the republican base will hate because he's a 'rino'.

The left should hate the fact he's in there, because the man is so middle right. look at all the effort he put in to kill off the tea party.

Yep and if a term limit bill is brought up the people who vote on it are the people who don't want it to go through. This is where a representative government falls on it's face

As I stated in another thread, it will take 2/3 of the states to line up and call for a constitutional convention to force a term limit amendment.

I'm glad senator Harry (Palpatine) Reid is out, but McConnell doesn't inspire me in the least.

Yep, I honestly see the same guy. They might run on different platforms but really the divide now is just on a couple of issues, none of which are going to change as they haven't changed in over 40 years.

Immigration will not get overhauled
Roe v Wade will not be overturned.
and DP is up to the states

But they both fear monger and run on basically those 2 issues then never do anything about them. I know repubs like to talk about fiscal spending but I didn't list that as it's not even close to true.

So after those 2 issues decide peoples vote, we get the same guys in office, whether it's Bush or Obama they are still appointing people like Tom Wheeler who have a vested interest in what they are going to be regulating.

24 members of the Senate are 55 years old and younger. The youngest being 39.

40 members between the ages of 56 - 66.

That is 60 members that are 66 and younger.

Anyone less than IMO 35 doesn't have enough life experience to run a country or legislate.

Just a few of the many of examples of how your age 56+ have no idea how they can represent us in these times, they don't even know what is going on in this country. Check Mate

Your geriatric group probably still wants a followup on the investigation into the Kingsmen's Louis Louis if they said fv*k in the background or not

Absolutely. He stomped the crazy eyed bitch libtard running against him. His #1 goal is stopping Obama and reversing his destruction of our nation and for that I'm PROUD to have him as my senator and majority leader.

Suck it up liberals, you're fucked. Your experiment is OVER.

Funny, you must not have paid attention to the historic elections of 2014 where Obama was fucked over and dumped on the side of the road.

The experiment has been rejected, it's over. Now is the time to reverse everything Obama has done and send him to jail for life.

Another insane poster. You are clearly very immature and young. Go study and get a proper education so that we don't have to see these kinds of asinine posts.

The libtard tears are so yummy!

Are you saying that the historic election of 2014 landslide victory for replubicans were NOT a repudiation and outright REJECTION of Obama? Really? Hell, even most democrats wanted that fuckstain in the white house nowhere near their campaign.

And now my main man Senator McConnell gets to smack Obama around like a little bitch sending countless bills to overturn his disastrous presidency. Make that fucker choke on it Mitch, go get him!

Your views on this subject are only trumped in stupidity and ill informed mouth flapping by your views on Use of Force...and Net Neutrality...and race relations...wait...

TH could only aspire to be as idiotic.

The fact that you think Mitch McConnell could "get" anybody shows the desperation and depravity so inherent in your world view.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Please, for the love of whatever unholy deity you pray to, do not breed.

You have issues. Go to the gym or something and get those anger issues dealt with.

LOL! I'm not angry. I'm fucking elated with happiness over the election results. Even more entertaining is watching the libtards spin and lie like it didn't happen. You guys carry on though, it is entertaining and really quite sad at the same time how outright delusional the liberal is right now.

So answer the question - did the historic elections of 2014 and rejection of fuckstain in whitehouse happen or not? Because earlier it seemed like you didn't think it actually happened.
