Is it really worth going to the polls this year and voting at all? They all look like zeros to me...the longer the campaigning goes the bigger the zero...If this were a real business the stockholders could fire the entire lot...how do we impeach all of them?..the entire congress and begin again...I'm almost ready to sub-contract our government to another country...wonder if Canada would want to take on this mess...nez pa?
While Democrats control the agenda and the committee chairs, thanks to their historic reliance upon more frequent than weekly filibusters, it has been Senate Republicans who have been controlling Congress by deliberately obstructing the changes in policy that the American people demanded on 11-07-06. This is the source of popular frustration, a frustration that is only growing. We will see which side gains seats as the result once the November elections roll around...
Ofcourse it's the fault of the republicans. It's never the democrats fault, it's always the republicans fault. How convenient.

It isn't the Democrats who are telling the Republicans to filibuster everything. Whose fault do you think it should be seen as, if not that of the Republicans themselves? Aren't you in the camp of the Personal Responsibility® freaks? When you run way beyond record levels of filibusters, you need to be held accountable for your poor decision-making. We'll be working to take care of that in November...

And what makes you think we didn't already???? I don't know how to get them all out at once but thats what we got to do other wise we would have to send Elliot Ness to Washington, if you leave anyone there they will corrupt the next ones there. Some body out there know's how it must be done. Step up to the plate before it's to late.

Republicans do it. And (gasp) the democrats do to. Should be blindly accept everything proposed my the democrats whether good or bad?

Republicans in the 110th Congress are on a pace to more than double the previous records for filibusters. They are doing it simply because they can. Neither the Republican leaders nor the President can any longer get their agenda rubber-stamped by the legislature. They don't have that power anymore. Their response is simply to block everything of substance that the majority tries to do. There is no debate. Their is no compromise. There is only obstruction.
Filibustering is wrong. It’s not supportable under the Constitution. -- Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS), 2005
The strategy of being obstructionist can work or fail. And so far it's working for us. -- Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS), 2007
