How come the 'crats can pass the health care bill with no Republican support but the Republicans are blocking finance reform?   Something does not add up.  With a clear majority the 'crats should have no problem passing whatever they want;  yes/no?

Can't wait to hear all the 'crats chime in with answers.

It's because the Senate rules currently allow for a perpetual filibuster by a minorty of 41 senators and the 'icans are using it to block everything they can regardless of merit.   But you knew that.

A good change would be to limit a filibuster to a fixed number of days. like maybe 30.   We might see some movement then.

Just think of the deep sh!t we'd be in were it not for filibusters.:)

and yet we the people allow this craziness. man when will we as a nation wake up to the corporate take over of our country. They grabbed control in 1913 and they seal the deal in 1963. every president after that have been puppets putting on a show for the people. gullible keep believeing that voting for these puppets will ever  make a difference, insanity!!!!!
