Obama & Dems in ‘05: 51 Vote ‘Nuclear Option’ Is ‘Arrogant’ Power Grab Against the Founders’ Intent



Biden: "I pray God when the Democrats take back control we don't make the kind of naked power grab you are doing."

Editor's note: How does the contentious debate of 2005 compare to the current legislative situation? Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum joined us during the live edition of Wednesday's 'The B-Cast' to discuss the similarities and differences. That interview can be found in the related section below. and how that debate reflects on the current legislative situation.

Obama/Biden lied…the democrat party died.

chris   February 24th, 2010 - 10:14 am

These videos are pretty pointless any more. I have never believed a word that came out of any of their mouths, so it’s just proving what we all knew all along.

Rosemary Woodhouse   February 24th, 2010 - 10:15 am

Brilliant compilation.

THIS is what the Republicans should do: play this clip and then walk out en masse.

libertarian416   February 24th, 2010 - 10:15 am

Oh, but this time, we need them to use reconciliation – otherwise, they won’t be able to do what we’re too dumb to realize is best for us.

ddhinnyc   February 24th, 2010 - 10:16 am

How is that hope and change working out for you swooning Obama-heads? Aren’t you embarrassed? Harry Reid is toast in Nevada. Good bye hypocrite.

dave   February 24th, 2010 - 10:17 am

The Democrats are the greatest hypocrites on the face of the earth. This video should be sent to Reid, et.al.

GA Hill   February 24th, 2010 - 10:17 am

That quote from Biden is priceless.

These politicians–all of them–are completely and totally shameless. They all need to be thrown out.

Finbar   February 24th, 2010 - 10:17 am

Anyone surprised by this?

bunchofclowns   February 24th, 2010 - 10:18 am

Biden’s prayer must not have been heard. And the rest, I’m sure, didn’t have the same prayer as Biden’s.

Kettle/Black… Is that racist???

rodgerdsmith   February 24th, 2010 - 10:18 am

People don’t want to accept the fact we are now living in a state of Tyranny. With Obongo being a committed communist, don’t think he won’t issue Executive Orders cancelling elections this fall if the notion strikes him. We The People need to abort this outrage!

Whiterock   February 24th, 2010 - 10:18 am

This should be running as an ad on MSM (I would donate to have that happen), I don’t think anything else needs to be said. Great job putting it together. I read this today “Cram this down our throats and we’ll shove it up you A$$”. Peace

RightThinker   February 24th, 2010 - 10:18 am

The videos are not pointless because it points out their hypocrisy. But, I agree with Chris that it is hard to believe anything a politician says.

mwthatch   February 24th, 2010 - 10:19 am

Democrats are a JOKE!

A.   February 24th, 2010 - 10:19 am

It’s okay, as long as the Democrats do it. But it puts our whole Republic in jeopardy if the Republicans do it. LOL! I guess what’s good for the Democratic goose isn’t good for the Republican gander!

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   February 24th, 2010 - 10:20 am

America…It never ceases to amaze me that those in the public eye…speak to the public…in public and are recorded and filmed on almost everything they do and say.

Then it comes back to haunt them…and yet…people continue to believe the lies.

Reminds, me in Holy Scripture where some of the disciples of Jesus Christ believed that it would be good if someone who had died and gone to hell could come back and tell them what it was like. That then people would believe!

Christ knew that even if someone came back from the dead…people would not believe!

So it remains true in this case…even their own words…spoken from their lips…cannot convince the deaf, the dumb and the blind…that they are in the wrong and should not be believed!

But continue speaking up and speaking out…to all that will listen of the truth…because the ‘truth’ will set us free…not the lies of the Democratzi ‘loon’!

——————————–

REMEMBER THE ALAMO……JUST (7) MORE DAYS TO THE TEXAS ELECTION FOR GOVERNOR!

TEXAS…YOU HAVE THREE CHOICES

1. INCUMBENT PERRY – WHO HAS BEEN REPORTED ATTENDING THE 2007 SECRET MEETING OF THE BILDERBERG SOCIETY!

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/world/stories/DN-perry_31tex.ART.State.Edition1.43b926a.html

2. SENATOR HUTCHINSON – A MODERATE ‘FENCE SITTER’ WHO HAS BEEN IN WASHINGTON TOO LONG.

http://www.ontheissues.org/Senate/Kay_Bailey_Hutchison.htm

3. DEBRA MEDINA – A ‘TRUE’ CONSERVATIVE WHO ‘QUESTIONS WITH BOLDNESS’ AND IS NOT A PART OF THE REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT AND A THREAT TO THEIR MODERATE ‘FENCE SITTING’ WAYS!

http://www.medinafortexas.com/

ONLY ONE “REAL” CHOICE…HERE…TEXAS…GET BEHIND HER AND BRING ‘CHANGE’ AND ‘HOPE’ TO AMERICA BY CHANGING THE STATUS QUO IN TEXAS.

WE SENT A MESSAGE TO THE DEMOCRATZI IN MASSACHUSETTS – LET US SEND ONE TO THE REPUBLICANS IN TEXAS!

Richard Lattanzi   February 24th, 2010 - 10:20 am

Democrats are showing their true colors. Talk when you cannot win, but break every rule to get your way. November is looming large on these complete statist losers. Long live the republic and down with the socialist tyranny of the democrats.

It’s not arrogance when you are the chosen one or the anointed saviors.

Will   February 24th, 2010 - 10:23 am

If the democrats ram through this health care bill that nobody wants, with the reconciliation process, it will be the definitive act of democrat hypocrisy and absolute power. And oh how they will pay for it!

BV   February 24th, 2010 - 10:23 am

Hypocrisy?

Thy name is Democrat…

Joe Public   February 24th, 2010 - 10:24 am

When will this administration take on the responsibility of representing the people and not their supporters. Reid and Pelosi are a cancer on the Congress of the United States. Both parties are at fault.

joe   February 24th, 2010 - 10:24 am

Gee. Who knew that these Democrats were LIARS?

Mr Bill   February 24th, 2010 - 10:24 am

Is it more hypocritical to do something and then get mad when someone else does it against you or to cry foul and then do the same thing? Both parties are at fault. I honestly don’t know the answer. What I do know is that I am mad as hell and not going to take it anymore. I say vote every incumbent out of office. I don’t care Dem, Rep, or Ind; vote everyone of them out and start over. We need to do this till no one has served more than one term in office.

GWB   February 24th, 2010 - 10:24 am

I hope that Dingey Harry Reid and his Moonbat Raiders choke on their own words. Especially Schmucky Schumer.

Tom Pesar   February 24th, 2010 - 10:24 am

In order for me to make a judgment on the content of this video, I need to know what issue/pending legislation/appointment was being discussed and what eventually happened. Did the Republican majority actually employ the “Nuclear Option” or just threaten its use? If the Republicans did indeed pass a measure with a 51 vote majority, then they have no grounds on which to no criticize the Democrats, even though I am bitterly against the current Health Care bill.

American Citizen   February 24th, 2010 - 10:26 am

I agreed with them then…as much as I disagreed with their politics, but a 51 % majority is not what was intended for a balance of State’s rights. Now that Obama, Nancy, and Harry are in power they are trying to get their way. The Republicans heard them then and never used the nuclear option. So now the Democrats need to adhere even though they may feel different. The people will decide this November what they want and if they get the 60th vote they need it will come by the voice of the people and no one else – just like they lost their 60th vote.

WilsonSpaulding   February 24th, 2010 - 10:27 am

UUHHHHHGGG…it’s all so disgusting. More of the “say anything, blame the other side” mentality in DC. This is why the Tea Party is growing.

thefritz   February 24th, 2010 - 10:27 am

Thank you Andrew Breitbart for having such a well stocked video vault.

Jeff   February 24th, 2010 - 10:27 am

These videos are not pointless! They prove the hypocrisy of the democrats. Apparently its ok for them to do it but not the republicans. This option needs to be taken off the table period. Absolute power by either party is not good. One last point, Joe Biden is an idiot!!!

Matt   February 24th, 2010 - 10:27 am

I think there should be 5 Republicans assigned to each of these clips and they should read the Democrats’ words right back to them, right in the Senate chamber, during the debate. They should identify the Democrat that said it, including Clinton and Obama, and Reid. They should say “As Senator [insert senator's name] said in 2005, …”

Make that 10 times for each clip. Then they have to stand firm. And they should make Scott Brown take the lead in this effort. They need to rein him in right now.

Beware of slick talking con artists who tell the gullible what they think they want to hear. Boy, did that “Hope and Change” Kool-Aid work well! This needs to played on a continuous stream for us while we’re sitting in over crowded waiting rooms waiting for our ration of “health care” and praying that wedon’t die first. Long prison sentences are much too good for these jerks.

Wingnut   February 24th, 2010 - 10:28 am

ross   February 24th, 2010 - 10:30 am

I dont think there is talf of changing the rules now…just using reconciliation which has been done many times in the past under both democrat and republican control.

Jim   February 24th, 2010 - 10:30 am

reconciliation is not the same as removing the use of the filibuster, it is not the “nuclear option”. The former is an accepted tactic used by the GOP many times, the second is a changing of senate rules.

Libs, and the Lying Liars Who Elect Them   February 24th, 2010 - 10:30 am

For the Socialists and their lap dogs in the American media: Senate rules, the law, and even the Constitution itself are “living documents” meant to flex to whatever their “Progressive” plans are for central government expansion and securing a permanent Dem majority. So stop with all your Republican hate!

if   February 24th, 2010 - 10:31 am

Throw the bums out!!!! This is what it’s about, “Checks and balances” The dems are proving themselves unworthy of any power because they can’t handle it honorably. Na na na na hey hey good bye!

FastFacts   February 24th, 2010 - 10:32 am

Is there a question that there is hypocrisy in Washington DC. Funny enough, this bill that they are talking about was a budgetary item of which Reconciliation is meant for. Now the Dems want to make Health Care voted in with the nuclear option which is actually against the rules of Congress. Hypocrisy, Corruption in their agenda.

Why do I feel that NONE of these videos will see the light of day in the MSM? You would have to be a imbecile to argue that, given the Dems plan to use the nuclear option on Obamacare, this is not newsworthy.

We got 2 weeks of front-page news about Sarah Palin writing on her hand. We will get NOTHING on this. No wonder the MSM organizations are going broke and FoxNews is prospering.

tony   February 24th, 2010 - 10:32 am

Both Parties are Hypocrites. Rep wanted to use the ridiculous Nuclear option and the Dems were rightfully outraged (or acted like it), and now its the exact opposite!!! ALL HYPOCRATS!!! Vote them all out and make Ron Paul the next president. He is the only Honest man of the bunch. He has had the same message for decades, in good times and in bad.

If H. Clinton ever becomes president I’d rather sit in my tub and open a vein before I have to be subjected to her shrill voice.

Seen her lately? she looks like an abused baseball glove.

Great video. Vote for honesty rather than party to fix our country’s problems.

Both parties have entrenched liars.

Don’t these Democrats have any shame? Well we all know the answer to that.

I hate these people.

Thou protest too hard and it will bite you in the arse. What a bunch of azzwipes. Just play this in response when they use the nuclear option and see what nov brings.

Oh, I see…..

So what happened? Different time? Different president?

Damn them all and take away their pensions while we’re at it!

Shame on all these thieves.

Kathy   February 24th, 2010 - 10:39 am

“Pointless?’ ‘Just proving what we all knew all along?” It took losing jobs, savings, homes, cars and a sense of security for most Americans to wake up and smell the odor coming from these Flower-power children, who couldn’t organize a one-car-funeral if it guaranteed another billion-dollar graft package. Pass the Popcorn!

David Smith   February 24th, 2010 - 10:40 am

So this proves the democrats do know that there’s a constitution in our country. Wonder why they never mention it any more or for that matter even honor it? Maybe they just over looked it.

KJ   February 24th, 2010 - 10:40 am

Why isn’t this being shown on the MSM? “The arrogance of power” – Both sides do it. Vote Ron Paul.

Rebecca   February 24th, 2010 - 10:40 am

GAWD I’m so sick of these cheese heads.

Joe   February 24th, 2010 - 10:41 am

I think its finally time to DRAG these TYRANTS from their positions of power… and we MUST PASS A LAW that ENDS the LIFETIME BENEFITS and LIFETIME PAY that retired/defeated Senators and Congressmen receive after leaving office… we should DEMAND that they WORK just like the rest of us!!! They ABSOLUTELY DO NOT DESERVE a lifetime salary – they should have to come back and participate in the private sector and LIVE UNDER THE LAWS THEY’VE CREATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joe Doakes   February 24th, 2010 - 10:42 am

Whatever you say can and will be used against you in the court of public opinion. The voter is the jury. In 9 months we will hold the liberal political class responsible for this disaster. With Gods help and a little luck the rubics cube of government will turn and give us the market based Constitutional solutions that have worked for us so well in the past. I’m ready to fight for them are you?

mrunpc   February 24th, 2010 - 10:42 am

The CommieCrats are the “masters of deceit”. What the hell do you expect from the enemies within anyway? They hide behind the Constitution when it suits their evil agenda and completely ignore it when it doesn’t.

They are traitors of the highest (or lowest) order and should all be taken away in chains, starting with the illegal Kenyan Muslim Marxist racist usurping White House squatter!

Jim   February 24th, 2010 - 10:43 am

Seriously, the Democrats continue to do everything the Republicans did, only worse. They preached and preached about all of the horrible things the Repubs did and they have only succeded in doing them all to a worse degree.

I think this doubling down on the health care debacle is proof that the Dems know they are in big trouble come November. They know they are going to be wiped out in a big way and if they dont get this legislation slammed through before November they wont have another chance at it for a decade or longer.

jadams76   February 24th, 2010 - 10:43 am

So…When the Democrats do it now with Ibama the media lets them call it “Reconciliation”. How pleasant that word sounds. Reconciliation. Like we are all just working out our differences. When the Republicans tried it in 2005 it was called a ‘naked power grab’ and labeled “The NUCLEAR OPTION”…..Don’t hear that term much anymore…Are we talking about the same thing? Just want to get my liberal Newspeak right.

Bob N   February 24th, 2010 - 10:43 am

Civility has been replaced by Arrogance in this Congress and White House and we have only the voters to blame! Now its up to the same voters to correct their mistakes.

Vietvet   February 24th, 2010 - 10:44 am

The MSM will never, never go back and publish comments made by all these socialists, in the recent past! These democrats get a free pass on their past statements!!! This is outrageous and is why the MSM is going out of business!

seevee   February 24th, 2010 - 10:44 am

The “nuclear option” they were talking about is the idea of getting rid of the filibuster. They are not refering to using reconciliation, a process used by Republicans many times. This is a false argument.

Tom Sweet Radio   February 24th, 2010 - 10:44 am

THIS IS GOLD – the hypocrisy, though expected, is stunning. THANK YOU BREIBART TV and B Cast- great material to implement in my show.

MikeyMike   February 24th, 2010 - 10:44 am

Umm… Jim…same thing differant verbiage. It’s the same principle. Step back and look at this from a nonpartisan eye, these clips could be talking about Obama or Bush. The GOP ultimatly decided against it, will the Dems come to their senses in time too?

NOQTR4TR8RS   February 24th, 2010 - 10:45 am

According to Rasmussen, 1000 likely voters rate the job performance of this Democrat-controlled Congress thusly:

Excellent: 1%
Good: 9%
Fair: 18%
Poor: 71%

Could it be that the voters have FINALLY had their fill of the breathtaking arrogance and hypocrisy from these people? We’ll know in November, certainly.

Tomas   February 24th, 2010 - 10:45 am

This is why the approval rate of Congress is at 10% – no one trusts these hypocrites any more.

Also, notice where these people are making their comments: every one of them – EXCEPT OBAMA – is speaking on the floor of the Senate. Mr. “Present” is speaking in front of press cameras.

That about says it all, doesn’t it?

mrcobaltblue   February 24th, 2010 - 10:46 am

I remember when this happened. I can only hope and pray that IF the Republicans take back the House and the Senate they will have finally learned a lesson from the Dems and actually USE their power to dismantle some of this crap instead of making deals with the Dems, sharing power in the name of “bipartisanship”, etc.

masonball   February 24th, 2010 - 10:46 am

The video made me sick to my stomache. It is so disheartening to realize that a group of people so devoid of integrity are running our country. Could we please elect some politicians that have a moral framework with more rigidity than a weathervane?

John Smith   February 24th, 2010 - 10:48 am

This is simply another “Naked Power Grab” that the Democrats have been doing since the Days
shortly after JFK’s murder. Anything underhanded or a “cudgle” to beat someone bloody is just the
thing for these “Thugs”… How, sad that we must end with this kind of government.

John Campbell   February 24th, 2010 - 10:49 am

hahahaha…absolutely hysterical are the double standards in Washington. COMEDY AT IT’S BEST. Also…remember when the “mainstream media” said that families were coming together because of the financial crisis…and remember when Harry Reid said YESTERDAY that Men are becoming more violent in the home BECAUSE of the financial crisis? Absolute entertainment. The same is true with global warming. No Snow in DC = Global Warming. 500 ft of Snow = Global Warming. Are they high? Shut down those pot-stores that keep popping up and maybe we’ll have some sobre people inside the Beltway.
