A quorom is the minimum number of Senators that need to be present to have a vote. It is also used as a stalling tactic since a voice count of every Senator present is required.

Are you kidding? She’s got a giant Volkswagen emblem on her shoulder, and her dress looks like it was fashioned from seat covers.

I'm encouraged.

Not too long ago, we were having wholesale Republican defections (amnesty, the Oct. stimulus bill, etc.).

Remember, 100% solidarity is exceedingly rare - even the Dems have defectors sometimes.

He said it all really kicks in 2011 and 2012 before the election. They will have a patronage army of Dem voters bigger than the US Army is what the guy said. It was credible because he had nothing to gain by lying.

<<<I have heard same theory on talk radio—no real stimulus, but lots of spending kicking in in election years :(

Finally, I can spend somebody else’s money on somebody else. And if I spend somebody else’s money on somebody else, I’m not concerned about how much it is, and I’m not concerned about what I get. And that’s government. And that’s close to 40% of our national income."

......or about 100% of our new trillion dollar (give or take a few hundred billion) spending bill. Good lesson, Eric.

I have a feeling we’re in for a world of hurt, ala the Carter years.

We are Americans, let us stand up and fight for our beloved America. What we need right now is OPTIMISIM and faith in the greatness of our country. We will not let the socialists change America forever. We will defeat them. On to 2010.

We have our work cut out for us before the mid-term elections.
