Senate GOP campaign arm sends Schumer gift basket for forcing vulnerable members to take filibuster

How stupid!  It accomplishes nothing as it appears that they are now going to ram the bill through anyways.  I wonder what they'll be sending Chuck when the Senate loses in the mid terms because the voting laws have changed?

Senate GOP campaign arm sends Schumer gift basket for forcing vulnerable members to take filibuster stand

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Thursday brought a fruit basket to the Capitol for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, thanking the chamber's top Democrat for forcing his vulnerable members on the record in a vote to get rid of the legislative filibuster.

NRSC spokesman Chris Hartline foreshadowed the move in a December interview with Fox News.

"If Schumer continues down this path… I think we'll send him a gift basket or something," Hartline said.

"It's not about the rule itself. It's about why they do it," he added. "They're not trying to change the rules so they can more easily name post offices. They're trying to change the rules because they can't pass their crazy agenda without changing the rules."........

All Schumer needs is Murkowski and a Romney or a Toomey.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

The arrogance of the NRSC is pure stupidity.
