Has anyone else noticed that when the pubbies were in charge, all that had to happen for a filibuster to stop a bill was for the dems to announce it, yet with the dems in charge, actual votes are taken for cloture?

Republican strategies got a lot done. Dems have nothing, so far.

Not only that, but when Republicans were in charge, there was always a statement made available by the MSM from the minority dems. Now, we still see the dems making their statements on the sNews shows but nary a peep from Republican opponents. One might get the idea the MSM has a (yellow) dog in this fight.

Yes, I have.

This is one of the things that disgusts me so much about the Republican congress and the party in general.

I have asked myself over the past ten years why they don’t fight the “enemy”. I have only recently understood that they ARE the enemy.

Senate Republicans under Lott and then Frist were very weak.
