This is exactly why Jim Robinson said that our target for the 2004 election besides re electing President Bush, expanding our control of the house, we need to bring our Senator Count up to at least 60!

When we have 60 senators, we can cloture the filibustering and really dismantle 5 decades of socialism and other evils put here by the Rat senators.
