The bottom line is, you will hear apologies made for the GOP until we have about 70 Senators in office (IOW, the apologists will never stop). I can remember when we needed a bigger majority. Now we need 60. If we got to 60, you'd hear these folks claiming that we really need 65 because of the RINOs.
They use a moving target - there's no arguing with them.
Right On. I remember well, the great folks in South Dakota taking down the obstructionist Tiny Tom Dacsle. A lot of thoght that would do it. Then 5 more republicians were sent to the senate. We thought that would do it. But low and behold, the Gang of 14 Idiots are now the stopping point.
Where does it end... with 60 with 70?
