This Bayh guy sounds like he has some toupee stuck in his throat.

What an arrogant ass. If I was a dem I'd hate this guy based on the fact that he is convinced in his own elitism.

which is a decision that requires 2/3s of the Senators to agree.


3/5ths not 2/3rds

"I'm still trying to figure out why they needed all those cots if they were only planning to stay 30 hours"

LOL. Well, Senator Frist dangled the idea they could be there longer than 30 hrs.... BTW, Senator Frist is reputed to require only 3-4 hrs sleep each night. So the cots might be for his fellow pubbies. LOL

Is that not about right?

No the dims would be the ones shutting down the Senate. They are the ones that are obstructing. The R's are the ones that want the up or down vote. The dims right now are just threatening a filibuster, and the R's are not forcing them to do so.!

Bayh is whistling the Dem's tune...the same tune that lost them the majority and every major election since. Don't you think they would get a clue?

This is what I would call a counterfilibuster or a filibusterbuster.

actually, the fill-a-buster used to be a sandwich served on the democrat side of the congressional cafeteria. it was an interesting item, big, gaseous, and devoid entirely of nutrition. it was discontinued when sen. hillary! clinton complained that it was sexist. now it's sold as the fill-a-lardbutt. robert byrd orders his with extra pork.
