Why the Republican Senate puts up with this is beyond me.

 

Two reasons....

Why the Republicans are continually surprised when a scorpion stings is beyond me.

I heard somewhere today there was a ''Gentlemans Aggrement'' that the RATS would play nice at least for a while and not filibuster Bolten. Thats where those 7 idiots went wrong, mistaking those Rats for gentlemen!

McCain's big declaration of victory was that the deal would get the Senate back to business. Back to the business of filibustering.

I am always suspicious when politicians believe that they can somehow miraculously change the tone or environment. When McCain says it, it is BS of the highest order.

Because they traded in their balls for a an enormous ego once they became senators!

Don't mean anything until the seven cowards return to the fold. I want to hear THEM say they were double-crossed and that they are ready now to vote for the nuke.

Absolutely correct. They are no longer anything except members of the most exclusive club in the world.

"Who are they trying to fool"


It looks like they only fooled themselves - because we weren't the ones who were fooled.

The only surprise is that 3 out of the 7 Dems that were in on the deal voted for cloture.
