omg, maybe this is true on opposite day. Oh how i wish this was true.

To: RKBA Democrat
How do republicans control the senate.

The biggest lie in politics is that republicans control congress.

In order to get legislation done in congress you need 60 votes in the senate.

Harry Reid controls the congress. Reid is the one that decides what legislation gets through. If Reid wants legislation stops he tells his caucus to fillabuster.

Bill Frist has zero power. He doesn't decide anything. Reid does.



The left controls the supreme court too. Kennedy, Souter, Ginsberg, Stevens, Breyer aren't going anywhere. They give the left 5 solid votes on the supreme court.


Between Harry Reid controlling what judges and what legislation goes through congress and the left having the majority on the supreme court the right has never been weaker.
