Ok Ok... I've read most of what I need to know...Dems won Dems Lost

[lonestarnot]

Pukes won Pukes lost... most importantly fillibuster saved sort of...fucking Frist lost his ass Yeha! Buck up Donk...and that is my fav. part Frist is a bust the bitch!

1. And the real winner is...

the American People.

Whatever results the nuclear option would have delivered, horrible partisanship and emnnity would have resulted. That's good for partisans but bad for the American People. To have the senate slowed down -would that have been good for the American people?


Fair bi-partisanship is good for the American people, especially when the country is as evenly divided as it is, today's deal is good for the American people.

2. Agree! American's truly did win in this deal.

9. The American people win by getting f'ed at the drive thru?

Really? That's news to me.

Have you read any of the opinions Owen wrote while on the bench in Texas? Do you know just how far right Pryor and Brown are? Do you really think that workers, minorities, women and liberal causes are truly better off today? If so, no offense, but I have a bridge for sale if you're interested.


And bi-partisanship for its own sake is not good for anyone, other than the so-called moderates who now get to act like they saved the day. When in reality, they neutered the minority party even more effectively than the nuclear option.

3. Yes, we won, we get owen and those other ghouls

Yes, a night to remember.

[lonestarnot]

4. oH BUT

You overlook the very longterm consequences of a shut down and total loss of the fillibuster which could have been the end result and Frist is retiring in '06 with no chance of 08.

[The_Casual_Observer]

5. What consequences? What exactly would be so wrong with shutting down

the government because of this? At this point it would be the best thing that could happen.
And don't kid yourself, the filibuster is dead.

[lonestarnot]

7. We can still do that .... but now we still have an option prior to doing

that don't you see it and look what it has done to them! God I'm loving it this morning!

[FrenchieCat]

6. Dems Won!

The Booby Prize.

We will be feeling like the French after the Louisiana Purchase pretty soon. Give a couple of days....max.

[lonestarnot]

10. Not... We did well with the machinery we own...none...!

[Bandit]

8. Bush* is the real winner

All of his nominees will get approved and that will set him apart from any other President. Democrats have proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are as unprincipled as the Republicans so America lost Bush* won.

11. That remains to be seen!
