Since when is 51 not a majority of 100. I was taught a majority is 50% +1????

lol "nuclear option" is just a phrase, an analogy, like "when pigs fly", used to describe a war ending move, like when u really drop a nuclear bomb, reconciliation was only suppose to be used on budgetary issues, ask ur dem. Byrd /watch?v=IZMKDPVdQmU. either way just remember that what u allow your party to do now will only be in turn used against u. so if the d's allows there guys to get away with murder and the R's allows there guys to get away with murder, soon will all be dead

Nuclear Options - GET RID of the filibuster.
Reconciliation - Get around a filibuster for this one vote instead of being stuck in a stalemate.

the democrats called it the nuclear option during reconciliation in 2005, so why blame conservatives now?

Emphatically NO! IS the GOP lying? YES they are. DOES Fox repeat the lie? YES they do.
A common tactic of the right is to rely on logical fallacy when someone calls them on their hypocrisy or lies or demagoguery or whatever.
Think what you will of Maddow, the evidence is clear and irrefutable. Saying that one side does the same thing doesn't excuse behavior. So I could rob a bank and say, "Well, HE did it?" No, I couldn't.

It would make her a bit of a hypocrite though....LOL

Agreed.

Whew, the lefty hatewing are out in force.

Sorry, it's just pot calling kettle depending on which side calls it.

I say we nuke em.
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."

That may be the case, but she is right! Saying she is doing the same thing doesn't make what FOX and the GOP are doing right. They're lying to suit themselves, which is what they always do.
