actually filibuster--and be filibustering--against all the most popular aspects of the HCR and finance bills; you know, the parts that got watered down or completely cut out in order to garner those 60 votes that it isn't supposed to take to pass any but the most unusual legislation.
But instead, the Dem leadership let the Rethugs say, "Boo! Ima gonna filibuster that bill!" and just threw up their hands in defeat instead of actually making the Republcians go through with the damned filibuster, which would have been fantastic anti-Republican theater to make the American voters see who it really was that was preventing them from getting what they wanted from the government.
