Liberals Pledge $3.5 Million Against Dems Who Filibuster

The left's pressure on centrist Democrats has steadily grown since the health care debate began but MoveOn.org and Democracy for America today launched the most direct threat yet: together, they've secured commitments from 66,000 members to donate a total of $3.5 million to support primary challenges against any Democratic senator who joins a Republican filibuster to block an up-or-down...

Republican Filibuster Of Unemployment Insurance Extension Broken

... job-creating businesses. Money for working people? You can imagine what happened, of course. The Republicans went into obstruction mode and began their faux filibuster. Harry Reid called for a cloture vote on Wednesday and it passed 87-13 , every Democrat and most of the Republicans slapping down the worst of the working family fanatics: John Barrasso (R-WY) Kit Bond (R-MO)...

Democrats celebrating way too soon on health care

... House, they squeezed it through with only five. In the Senate, the Democrats need 60 to break a filibuster, and several Democrat Senators have expressed deep reservations about the breadth and expense of the bill . . . and the Senate bill is nowhere near as broad and expensive as Pelosi's. Also, in the House, the minority party cannot control or obstruct the majority. In the Senate, not...

Graham: House Health Care Bill Would Die In Senate (VIDEO)

... the chamber does seem likely to weigh in on a public option. And this is where the South Carolina Republican's "dead on arrival" pledge will be tested. Appearing alongside Graham, Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) would not say if the 60 votes were there to cut off a Republican filibuster on a public plan. "We are far from the end of the debate in the Senate," he...

If anyone still doubts the teeny weeny Republican pup tent is now basically housing a mental ward for the criminally insane, you're not paying attention. Yesterday the teabaggers' chief spokesman in the U.S. Senate, radical right South Carolina secessionist Jim DeMint, made a spectacle out of himself twice-- before sundown. At noon Harry Reid decided it was time to shut down the mean-spirited...

“Tolerance For Ye, But Not For We”

In all things political, I urge you to remember Berg’s Seventh Law: whenever liberals attack or mock anything about Republicans or (especially) conservatives, they are projecting or distracting.
