So... 60 votes anyone?

[SomethingFishy]

According to Republicans, a majority isn't good enough anymore. You need 60 votes for cloture before you can vote on the bill. I hope Democrats are prepared to play the "Cloture" game as well as the Republicans did. We lost. Now it's time to do what they do, obstruct.

1. What makes you think they'll keep that rule?

I'm willing to bet that will disappear at the start of the next session.

5. that would be the world's worst idea

let the country live with the government they voted in. Let them vote to cut social security, turn medicare into a voucher, ban abortion, and all the rest. Let Obama veto that. And then make it crystal clear to the country, you elect the GOP and you will get the GOP agenda. If they then elect them so be it.

6. But if they suffer, so do we

I did not vote for any Republican in this election, and neither did my mother, but she is going to be really hurting when the Republicans take control of the Arkansas state government next year.

7. I don't know man... maybe it's the weed, but your idea sounds way worse than mine..

all my idea will do is continue the stupid gridlock for 2 more years, and annoy the shit out most of the country. Yours could actually hurt people...

9. Judging by tonight's vote, I believe Americans actually enjoy being thrashed and punished.

Only six years after Bush and the Republicans completely destroyed the economy, these idiots vote them back in to office.

The very essence of stupid.
