I'm taking bets that this jobs bill is the pivot point....
Reid asked the R's to work with dems again today.....watch the party of NO get wound up for business as usual and THEN watch Reid and the Dems MAKE THE R'S REALLY, REALLY, REALLY filibuster on the floor of the senate, wearing diapers, sweating in front of the cameras, making excuses.

And then the Dems can go on nightly news EVERY NIGHT and tell the folks that the R's are filibustering a tax-cut/JOBS BILL.

The longer it takes to get to the floor, the better. October would be a nice time to have this real world filibuster.

3. As I said in another forum on DU, if the Republicans start
their NO NO NO crap again, then the Dems need to get on TV, the blogosphere, in newsprint, anywhere they can, and point out over and over again how the Republicans are working hard to make sure that all the unemployed people in the US will stay unemployed.

4. My dream is that this is the point that they call their bluff and make them

stay every night and filibuster non stop for a week.

6. That would be my valentine
To see them wiggle all night and all day long.


By the way, did anyone see the photo of some congress members playing card games on their computers while they were suppose to be listening.

Someone sent me the email clip but I don't know how to copy it into a post. :shrug:
