The US Senate is full of hypocrites

I am sick and tired of hearing about reconciliation and the “nuclear option.”
Both Democrats and Republicans use the reconciliation process in the US Senate when they are in the majority. Both Democrats and Republicans whine and cry when they are in the minority and the other major political party uses reconciliation. It is pathetic and I am sick of it.
The US Senate is dysfunctional.
Listening to conservative talk radio today was educational; at least as far as illustrating how the Democrats in the Senate are hypocrites. Today I heard soundbites from 2005 including the current President of the US, the current Vice President of the US, and the Democrat in charge of the US Senate rail against using reconciliation. Now that those same people are in the majority party they have “changed their minds.”
Don’t think the Republicans are any better on this issue. They do the exact same thing when “the shoe is on the other foot.”
There are so many hypocrites in the US Senate that we realistically need to throw almost all of them out and start over.

Finally something I agree with you about. Well said.
It’s a good thing that the Senate is dysfunctional. Can you imagine how dangerous they would be if they were better organized?
welcome to politics!
It’s time to dump the party labels. Open the primary election to any one who wants to run and let the top two candidates go on to the general election.
