I have to wonder what he could have accomplished if DEMS had called the GOP's BLUFFon the filibuster
As opposed to using the filibuster that never was as an excuse for the falied agenda that never was.
Not to mention that the filibuster would not even be an issue, if not for the conservat...errr, I mean "centrist" Democrats who Obama either secretly agreed with, or was unable to lead.
Seems to me that if we are not willling to call the GOP & conseva...err, I mean "centrist" DEM bluffs as to the filibuster, then the filibuster is just another excuse for letting the GOP & conservat...errr, I mean "centrist" DEMS have their way. As usual.
Seems to me that the DEMS used/are using/will continue to use the specter of a GOP filibuster as an excuse, as opposed to the GOP actually being made to have one.
Not buying it. If "the filibuster" is our excuse, then I would have needed to have SEEN an actual filibuster. Seems like all I've seen is DEMS telling us to "compromise" w/o a fight b/c the GOP might threaten one.
