No, the folks here get it or at least most of them. Most are just saying that by allowing it to come to the floor for debate that the RATS will win. They can force a vote with a nuclear option of only 51 votes to end any filibustering. Then another 51 votes to pass the legislation. This gives 9 RAT Senators the ability to run for cover.

Bingo! Someone gets it. This is why this site is so great. So many Freepers here know what is really going on, much more so than the cluless , government educated, general populations does.
