Which means they have 64 votes. Sounds like a supermajority to me. And only three votes away from the 2/3 necessary to do so much more permanent damage.

Can I stop defending them now?

I USED TO attend AMWAY meetings/functions, because I had "caught the dream".
The excitement and enthusiasm is just phenominal and intoxicating.

The "yes you can" attitude is adopted by osmosis.
And a little further into the program, I am taught to follow my upline in any/every thing .. and I will be successful.

To ANY amway distributors that may be here ... I don't mean to slam you .. I pray a prosperous new year for you.

But I cannot shake the parallel of how I'm watching politics work and all the PMA I experienced about 20 years ago.

How do you swing an (assumed) opposing 'doctrine' (republicanism vs. democrats) unless someone dangles a dream greater than America as a goal?

The dream, yes I can, prosperity, financial security, power ... waayyy too many parallels.

I haven't checked your math. But have you factored in the "vacant" Dem seats:

• Kennedy (probably 'medical leave')
• Franken (held up in courts)
• Burriss (too corrupt, to black, or whatever the Dems want to use to block him)

As much as I hate the idea of supporting RINOs, it's important that we recognize that some of them do help out in some tough times. For example, Specter has come through and helped get Alito and Roberts on the SCOTUS.

It's important to praise when they do something right, and then savagely destroy them when they do something wrong. :-)

And that goes for conservative Dems, too.
