#1 I suppose this is good, but in my mind it makes them all double pussies - once for proposing the resolution in the first place and twice for not having the stones to go thru with it. Our country is at war. Lead, follow or get out of the way.

#2 No Pol wants to risk it while Moud, Sadr + Nasry keep rantin'.

#3 I heard on the news that Worming Warner voted AGAINST his own bill! Props to the GOP for standing their ground UNITED even though I don't support their message. Maybe now that they realize they have this power they might use it for good and not bad.

#4 Reid couldn't garner a majority to cut off filibustering, much less the 60 votes necessary. This was all about Reid's refusal to allow debate and votes on alternatives. He's failed his first leadership 101 course test...heh heh

#5 I'd rather they did debate it, I dearly want to see the Dems fall flat on their face with a big, very public SPLAT.

#6 The Republicans wanted a much broader debate, which the Democrats refused. Hence the vote to shut down an artificially limited debate. Senator Reid thought he could whip everyone into his line... and he failed. Failed Leadership 101 indeed!
