1. Really?

That reminded me of all the hopes and dreams that were pissed down the drain during the last two years. And the rest of them that will be ceremoniously tossed out in the coming months.

2. Yes, really. nt

[Gman]

3. What did YOU do in the last 2 years?

Sit back and have it all handed to you on a silver platter?

[Cronus Protagonist]

4. I got a bill on a silver platter?

I see the bill's in the mail, but where's my silver platter? And I wanted a pony!

5. NO body is going to convince me that Obama went to bat for US

and not the republicans. Yeah they passed a watered down health care bill that is helping some people. But I don't give a damn what any one says he could have prodded the Democrats to do better. One thing they should have done was gotten rid of the S.O.B. filibuster in the senate. And I think every Democrat who is really a Democrat should hold Reid to his promise to get rid of the filibuster. He can. At the beginning of the 112th congress he can change it and he doesn't need 60 votes. He just needs a majority.

6. If it passes, are you okay with the Republicans using it against us?

[Inuca]

7. Not an issue

because we will hold the msjority for EVER

[Ken Burch]

8. If our party never used the filibuster in the past, you know we never will in the future

And Social Security was saved solely by a popular revolt from below, not by anything ANY Dem senators did.

[RBInMaine]

9. You have no sense of political reality whatsoever. Utter nonsense.

[elizm]

10. Then by all means go vote with the freaking Republicans. nt
