Nancy Pelosi Confident Of Taking Back House

20. Kestrel, you know we didn't control the Senate

We had a 60-seat majority, I'll agree with you there. But control? No. If we had 61 Democrats--enough to shut down a filibuster--or enough common sense to get rid of the permafilibuster rule they've got now, we would have had control. If the Republicans have more than 40 votes in the Senate (and when we held the 60-seat majority, they had Lieberman in their hip pocket), they have control of the Senate because nothing gets past the worthless bastards.

I swear, if the House sent the Senate a bill that eliminated the corporate income tax, the capital gains tax and the personal income tax on anyone making more than $1 million per year, the Republicans would kill it just to keep Obama from getting any credit for it.
