Which apparently they don't have anyway.

Well actually the Dem caucus has 60 members, 60 is votes is the number needed to break a filibuster. That they can't get their members together proves they can't govern.

WRONG. It proves that everyone has differences of opinions. Or, you don't understand that?

Franken just showed us that Obama is a total liar.

Obama promised that he would make sure that both sides of the aisle will get their chance to speak. So far, this congress has had months of secret meetings behind closed doors locking out the rep from the talks.

What they did not know is many dems came out and then let the rep members what was going on.

The dem party is becoming a clown act.

Franken is a idiot and just showed the nation how the dems leader think.

He will pay for this mistake, wait and see.

No debate would continue after the reading of the bill. The reading of the bill was designed to slow the process down. Whats the hurry anyway?Franken was being petty.

Yes a concept the left holds dear as evidence by this thread where a number of posters have suggested physical violence should be visited on someone with a different opinion.

Ah yes the WWE, grown men play fighting in their underwear... Seems well above what goes on in Congress half the time.
