37. When did the Dems ever really have a 60 vote majority filibuster proof block in the senate?
Edited on Tue Dec-07-10 06:40 PM by GreenTea
The democrats never really had enough votes in the senate when it mattered, Lieberman an Independent always voted with the republicans when it really mattered on votes like this, (and still does)....

And Obama was always stupidly catering to the 100% partisan republicans which put the republicans in a position of strength, Obama constantly making it known and making it very clear he was going for the "moderate" (no such thing) republicans like the back-stabbing, two-faced, under-handed lying duplicit republican senators from Maine, who purposely used him and Obama was what? Too hard headed, stupid, insecure to say fuck you as the republicans laughed at him, insulted him & used him?

Are you counting fucking Lieberman?

Are you counting the fucking "blue-dog" democrats?

Are you counting on the two fucking lying conniving republicans senators from Maine?

The only chance the Democratic weak knee-ed majority leader Harry Reid had was to put pressure on Lincoln & Ben Nelson and other blue-dogs and also insist that Lieberman vote 100% with the democratic caucus or he WILL absolutely lose his chairmanship on committee!

Then they would of (perhaps) had 60 votes.

Fat chance with the timid Reid!
