[kyrasdad]

Since 2000 we have been playing catch up. The Repugs have all but completly silenced any opposition voices, due to thier power or "patriotism". The Repugs opened this can workm up thinking it was going to be a 30 hour Democratic slam down. The Dems took advantage of it, and by showing the Repugs as refusing to move on VA funding, unemployment extensions, highway bill which would create 800,000 jobs etc, etc, and doing a clear job of making sure that everyone knoew it was over 4 people (168-4 was an advertising coux), and making them look stubborn, uncaring, elitist, and thanks to Mary Landrieu, unpatriotic... and lets not forget that wonderful Fox e-mail...

They unfreeped the freepers... they took thier topic and turned it thier way... hence Orrin's ministroke on the floor, Lindsey running to the supreme court, and Daschles happy dance...
