Excellent analysis. Our side must know enough not to fall for this propaganda BS but unfortunately based on the many irrational and hysterical posts we have seen today on FR this is not the case.
I think many were confused and freked out by this vote because its never been discussed before since this vote is very common.
But Harry and the Obama state media SPUN this story and had Lincoln / Landrieu play so to make it as a HUGE victory !!! And the AP does it part with the usual DNC Puff Piece about history is being made ( David Espo Barf Alert).
Please if the VOTE was so much in the AIR why was old George V allowed to go to Cleveland for a party and Sen Bryd allowed to vote from his home .
The GOP could have demanded Bryd vote on the Senate Floor !
So you think Limbaugh, Levin, Beck, the conservative GOP Senators (all the GOP for that matter) and all the conservative pundits overreacted?
I am sorry, but the march of socialism inches forward incrementally, and this was an incremental move forward for the side of central planning. Many thot the the House would not pass a bill, but they did. Many thot Reid would not get the 60 votes, but he did.
I am not confident that we can predict the outcome of this with confidence.
