The Republicans were fools not to require them to filibuster all weekend.The Republicans know that come next election, they could be in the minority again. Heck, all it would take is one car accident and they could be in the minority again. Memories are long in the world's most exclusive club, and they know that what goes around comes around.

They couldn't. The Republicans needed 51 senators present which constitutes a quorum. Bunning's wife is critically ill and needs to be with her. McConnell needs time off because he just recently had open heart surgery. That leaves 49 Republicans. There is no consequence for any Senator not being in session when compelled by the senate majority leader to do so...

Over and over, in the Senate the operative phrase appears to be:

"The Republicans were fools" So what else is new? If they refuse to do what needs to be done at this point, then I'm afraid we deserve whatever we get. The whole spectacle makes me sick. I hate liberalism with a passion and every time I see Tiny Tommy or Nancy Pelosi or Ted Kennedy in front of the cameras I want to slap them upside the head for being totallly self-absorbed jerks, but it is getting to the point where I find the spineless behavior of the Republicans only slightly less repugnant.
