Filibuster reform.
Right.
If you throw salt on a senator, will it make them shrivel up and go away?
Neighbors, we deserve better legislators, but it is up to us to find the right people to send. At the very least, write to these people and tell them what you think. Be polite, but you can politely tell someone how disappointed you are with them.
Respectfully,

The filibuster is a way of the senate and should NOT be altered. It just Reid and his cronies & idiots trying to change the rules as they can’t get organized nor compromise with the GOP on GOOD legislation as Reid is like obama, neither is a leader & can’t lead their own party.

The filibuster should have gone back to be a talking filibuster – the silent one was the change. If you really object to something to where you feel you need to obstruct the work of the Senate, it should require some effort.
The GOP is the party of NO and they met in Jan. 2009 to discuss limiting the president to one term and declared in public in Nov. 2010 that their main priority was to make Obama a one-term president. They didn’t care about the economy or jobs – just POWER.

Why not get rid of it altogether? If the GOP wants it so bad they can reinstitute it if they ever take the Senate back.

It is soooo easy: use the German model! We have a senate, basically, but it’s made up of the governors of the various states. These guys simply don’t have the time to call each other “my good friend from…” all day long. They meet like once a month and ratify or veto what the lower chamber wants to enact into law (simple majority, no filibuster). If vetoed a bill goes back to a reconciliation commission. The whole process takes less than an hour sometimes. It’s just 17 guys sitting around a table and raising their hands…

Just a nitpick here… spoilers actually increase drag. They function by providing more downforce on the rear wheels, giving them better grip on the road.

The US has beens “borrowing” (think printing) $50,000 a second for about 4 years. The male bovine excrement will hit the fan some day and the Senate will be no more..

“their main priority was to make Obama a one-term president. They didn’t care about the economy or jobs – just POWER.”
.
that’s just silly.
It’s black and white thinking,
And if you can find a quote where anyone in the GOP said they don’t care about the economy or jobs, just POWER… well, never mind, you can’t find where anyone said that.
.
I just started a new internet business. It is my number one priority to make it profitable. That doesn’t mean I neglect my full time job, my family responsibilities and obligations or that I can’t find time here and there to post on this site. It’s ridiculous to say that because one has a priority, that they won’t do anything else.

It’s pretty obvious that the GOP was determined to prevent as much of Obama’s agenda as possible. They had no intention of negotiating with the idea that if they couldn’t stop a bill, at least they could try to mitigate the harmful effects.
