    I think that's the problem. You people honestly cannot see and have not a clue about racist attitudes in America. I feel pity.

    I'm not going to blame anyone for playing the game. During Bush's time the teabaggers continued to btch and moan......"Why want they let us have an up or down vote"........ It's a two way sword.

    One thing I do take issue with is if I'm a member of a political party in congress I might not agree with every bill that party put forward however I sure would not vote against my own party in a procedural vote. I would give my party an up or down vote no matter how I felt about the issue....

    In any case all this is moot. I wouldn't serve in congress if they shackled up and brought me up there!

    Well, maybe we will get more filibusters now because what Obama has done is obviously only making things worse.

    From today's news:

    "Unemployment rates rose in 43 states last month, the government said Friday, painting a bleak picture of the job market and illustrating nationwide data released two weeks ago.

    That is consistent with nationwide trends. Employers shed a net total of 85,000 jobs in December, the government said earlier this month, after notching a small gain of 4,000 jobs in November.

    In another nationwide trend, long-suffering states like California and Michigan saw their jobless rates stabilize even as they continued to bleed jobs. That's because thousands of frustrated workers gave up hunting for work and dropped out of the labor force, which means they aren't included in the unemployment rate."

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100122/...e_unemployment

    But the good news for Obama is that so many Americans have given up (or had their unemployment coverage reach it's limit) that the unemployment rate may stabilize! You do realize if the Democrats do extend yet again the amount of time you can draw unemployment, the rate will go up as people who are no longer eligible for benfits, and thus not factored into the unemployment rate, will be counted again.
    When given the choice between big business and big government, choose big business. Big business never threw millions of people into gas chambers, but big government did.

    A prediction

    If unemployment is still at 10% or higher come November, the Republicans will take control of the House, and make huge gains in the Senate.

    Speaking of the Senate races, Obama's seat is up for grabs as well....

    The corporate world and their government stooges have been raping the system that used to work since 1971. Things are going to get worse before they get better.
