The R's need to grow a pair and force these fillibusters to take place. That way we can see the Dems BEING obstructionist instead of hearing the charge from R's. Much more effective for TV coverage.

Hope they start soon. Don't they have a parlimentarian among them. Maybe they should hire Newt to consult, I'm sure he could bone up on the Senate rules and be an expert in no time. He took this crap on when he was minority leader, as it infuriated him, and changed a lot of it when he had the chance as Speaker.

The President has a ridiculous amount of political capital right now (39% most admired, etc.) -- why won't he use it?

I just got back from DC on Saturday. Do Democrats walk around with blinders on?.

The whole area around the Capitol obviates the entire liberal cause.

What sane individual, after walking through Arlington, or the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, or the Lincoln Memorial, turns around and espouses the lousy and ridiculous anti-American and pro-socialist crap that liberal Democrats do?

I stayed at the "Best Western" on North Capitol Ave, perhaps the rats only look at the area surrounding this sad excuse for a hotel within sight of the Capitol as their inspiration for terrible legislation.

It reminded me of NYC pre-Giuliani.

Apparently menacing crackheads are acceptable when the Mayor is a Democrat.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, after all.

The "R"s as a whole could grow 'some' or the President could simply tell Dashole, "look bud, any and every bill you bring to me is DEAD ON ARRIVAL!" Let Dashole try to get his 60 vote override for the Educashun Bill or well-fair, or mediscare.....

With the prez's popularity and apparent bully pulpit, he could pull it off.....

Nah.....I'm just dreamin....the GOP wouldn't have the guts to do anything like that....sheesh, they couldn't even vote to keep the non-essentials of government shut down! Limp-wristed wimps....

"The R's need to grow a pair..."

You could've just stopped right there and remained dead-on correct.
