Midknight Review -- new and revised: The filibuster rule remains in effect. Here is why this is critical to the survival of the nation.

Filibuster reform is short of needed votes — Senate Democrats do not have the votes to lower the 60-vote threshold to cut off filibusters. — The lack of support among a handful of Senate Democratic incumbents is a major blow to the effort to change the upper chamber's rules. . . . .

Editor's notes: this current crop of Marxist/Socialists have done all they could to change the course of history for this great nation. Their efforts have ranged from the monumental to the minute. Healthcare is an example of the former; changing the filibuster rule is an example of the later.

Without the filibuster rule, legislation could pass through the Senate on the basis of a 51 vote majority rather than a 60 vote rule. One would think the Dems, soon to be out of power, would want to preserve this rule. In fact, they do not. Why?

Their working majority in the Senate will be weakened as a result of the midterm elections. The change in the filibuster rule would give them the ability to ram through more legislation, especially if they maintain control of the House. The effort to destroy the filibuster is an indication of future plans.

If the filibuster remains in effect and the Senate margins for the Dems are reduced, bi-partisan cooperation will be required in order to get anything done. If the filibuster is gone and the 51 vote becomes the rule, the radicalism of this current bunch of Marxist reformers will continue. A change in the filibuster rule would mean that they would, again, own a super majority in the Senate.

We all know that a total transformation of this country will happen if they are not defeated at every turn. With that in mind, this election will be more important to this nation than even the 2012 presidential election.

The filibuster change was defeated, for the time being. Will they try it again in the Lame Duck Congress? And if that happens, can they put into place the remainder of their agenda in the three short months before they are escorted out of Congress.

Understand that a change in the filibuster rule will mean that the Marxist revolution will continue, even after the elections. The Lame Duck Congress will not care who won the midterms. This is a very serious time for the United States of America because, for three months, this nation will be ruled by a group of reformers who are unaffected by public opinion.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
