3. Newt.

It is never about who won; it is about who lost.

[nankerphelge]

8. The people who will have to put up with...

a lifetime of decisions by these nutjobs. That's who lost.

[housewolf]

4. And the big loser is....

Frist.

[katsy]

5. I think we did...

but find myself dreaming that every bill ACTUALLY must be read on the floor of the senate... and no more legislation is passed except for bare social necessity for the next 3.5 years.

In short the Dems won, but I wonder if the American people won.

Maybe I stubbornly hold fast to the belief that the less congress works when pukes control, the better for America.

7. We must spin this to Dems win!!! When American people hear that Dems

are the one who did this, they'll have respect Dems and we'll get more votes.

[ginnyinWI]

14. no need to spin it; we obviously won big time

And so did America, though few of them realize.

[Gothmog]

9. Democrats won

This is a victory.

10. The Dems CAVED IN!!!!

3 wackos for life and we can't use the Filibuster under penalty of a very stupid agreement. This is bullshit! Anyone celebrating should have their brain checked.

[merh]

11. 3 of 8 instead of 6 of 8 - who caved?

Okay, so they gave 'em 3 of 8 - seems like rethugs lost!

"Negotiators are hoping to craft a deal that would allow some nominees to be confirmed while leaving others behind. One plan would allow final votes on Owen, California Supreme Court Justice Janice Rogers Brown and former Alabama Attorney General William H. Pryor, as well as Michigan nominees Susan Neilson, Richard Griffin and David McKeague. The nominations of William G. Myers and Henry Saad would remain stuck."

13. they have/own everything and they blinked...

frist looked like such a weak little impotent majority leader of nothing weasel...he could not get his party to fall in line...frist = no fucking leadership and now everyone knows it.

[ginnyinWI]

15. and you've got to hand it to Harry Reid

We might have had nothing to show for ourselves in this Congress, but he came out fighting from the start. The Democratic Party is on the rise--pass it on!

[cestpaspossible]

16. Republicans wimp out again

why are they so weak? does it have to to with the cowardice inherent in being a bully?
