Rs are feeling pretty empowered. Cornyn and McConnell on now
taking that win as a mandate for the Rs and lack of policies.

Are we still digging the hole deeper?

4. It's Webb's fault HCR won't be voted on in the Senate until
AFTER Brown is seated? So, we have a Dem that is holding up the bill until the killing-vote is sworn in?

6. Did anyone bother to ask them
what they stand for? What policies they advocate? Or did they continue to just let them dump on the Dems?

11. Fox is already saying the republicans are dusting off the filbuster
to wreck havoc on Obama's agenda. Wonder why the democrats didn't do that when bush was in his two stolen terms. I guess they don't have the guts to do what's right unless the republicans say it's OK>

13. Then MAKE them fillibuster
I want them standing on the floor of the senate with bursting bladders reading the fucking phone book. Let the public see their obstructionism. All the saw in the last year was the Dems bowing to conservadems and pulling every thing that helped Main Street in order to satisfy Wall Street. People want fighters and the Dems (including the President) has looked like a bunch of candyasses.

14. Quit saying they don't have the "guts"
they might have believed whatever it was was what the voters wanted.

It's so sickening just always accusing them of "cowardice." and they got elected/re-elected to take more seats than they had before, so the voters obviously didn't think so.
