Dems: forget what we said before

Or, even worse, we said it THEN because we meant it, but not that it is not in our favor, um, we're changing our position. Okay, sure, if we were to make a decision based on TRUTH and doing what is RIGHT, then we wouldn't do what we're planning to do, but, HEY, the Scott Brown election changed everything. It didn't mean that the will of the PEOPLE was more important than our agenda, but just that we'd have to change the RULES to get what we want because we are power hungry selfish pigs who want to change America and make her more like, well, EUROPE, where every male is metrosexual and nobody can afford pizza, but everybody has a right to a paid VACATION. Which, of course, the government will pay for.

Conveniently, Senator Schumer preemptively dismissed any claims that because he or members of his party made arguments for the filibuster when he was serving in the minority should not mean the filibuster rules shouldn’t be changed today, when his party is no longer benefitting from a successful filibuster. He said:

“I was a member of this committee in 2003, as were many of my colleagues here, both Republican and Democrat. Not surprisingly, the words we spoke then might not reflect how we feel today, when our Majority and Minority roles are reversed. I am sure my colleagues could quote me opposing filibuster reform, just as I could quote them in favor of such reform. But that is not the point of these hearings.”
