We didn't have the votes in 02 or 04 and frist only now has 44 solid votes for the nuclear option, he can can probably get 47 or 48, but spector, hagel, warner are not moving.
All those bush voters that voted for that pos salazar really hurt us and also losing so many close elections in the recent years in the house.
If it weren't for people that vote for the libertarians and constitution party frist would have the votes for the nuclear option.
Harry Reid won by 421 votes in 98 and the libertarian party got 8,000 votes
Cantwell won by 2,000 votes
Landreui won by 6,000 votes in 96
Ben Nelson who will vote against the nuclear option won by 12,000 votes
Stabenow won by 44,000 votes
Libertarian and constitution parties elected a lot of these democrats and the votes for these parties is the reason why Ted Kennedy and Harry Reid are the kingmakers on the judges.
Well said. Welcome to the forum.
Yes! Yes! Yes!!!
You nailed that one!
You can't really expect better from the Libertines but the Constitution Party voters commit treason every time they vote.
Hey dude, welcome...well stated....
AMEN! These rules-based so-called "principled" people can't see the forest for the trees.
