Reid was just up and had a huge sign saying there have been 83 RepubliCON filibusters

He was saying that it's the Rethugs that are standing ONLY with the Oil companies....

1. Why are they even bothering. They won't do anything - will just
be a lot of empty talk.

3. Yes, but...
Once again we see that the repukes are more effective in opposition than in power. Plus, Blue Dogs and their running dogs are a real stumbling block. Congressional leaders need to rein them in.

That said, the repukes could well get real stupid about this matter and hand a golden campaign opportunity to the dems.

That said, Cornyn just said repukes would vote to invoke cloture.

4. Thank you....another good one is on C-Span I with Sen. Barbara Boxer.
It's discussing environmental issues. Both of these are so important.

9. Good question... one Sen. was just asking the same thing....
"last she heard 51 WAS a majority"... paraphrasing.

10. Because the Dem leadership was perpetually afraid of being badmouthed in the press
But notice how the media has barely mentioned all the Republican filibusters. Poor leadership, as usual, by the Democrats.

At least Reid seems to be on the ball today, though.
