Bilbo Hussein Baggins Says: What do you expect will happen when the Republicans announce that they will filibuster any meaningful legislation and then they do just that (on merely the threat of a filibuster)?

I’ve had at least two people call me to ask me to vote for Jim Martin. I can imagine how many actually called, but I didn’t answer. I think the Democrats see the 60 majority as their mandate.

However, they seem to forget that moderate Republicans like Snowe and Hagel and even McCain on certain issues could be brought over to weight the balance in their favor… And these folks are suposed to be the best and brightest, yet hey keep missing the obvious?

One might think that the moderate Repubs would come to their senses and help break filibusters, but how many times did that happen in the last two years? I wouldn’t count on it.

LOL. I just saw that she hasn’t been back to her office since the election. If she keeps that up, she’s going to lose another election – her own re-election.

Clinton remains determined to focus on such issues as maternal health and the education of girls. She argues there is a direct link between those “soft” issues and the stability of governments, and with that U.S. security interests.

“Typically, governments (including that of the U.S.) limit their foreign policies to diplomatic, military and trade issues, the staple of most treaties, pacts and negotiations,” Clinton wrote in her memoir. “Yet it was clear to me that in the new global economy, individual countries and regions would find it difficult to make economic or social progress if a disproportionate percentage of their female population remained poor, uneducated, unhealthy and disenfranchised. …

“Issues affecting women and girls should not be dismissed as ’soft’ or marginal but should be integrated fully into domestic and foreign policy decisions.”

Perhaps she’ll have the same influence on the Chambliss runoff as she did with McCain.
I agree, though, it’s time for her to crawl back in her Igloo.

Hi Zimzone :)

I hope Obama has done that, because it’s expected to be pretty close. I’m planning to let my students out early tomorrow to go vote hoping that will help.

Unfortunately, the Republicans have sent Palin here. Ugh! When is that woman going to finally go away?

Good morning, unbelievable.
I’ve heard Obama has sent some of his campaign team into Georgia for tomorrow’s runoff election. Here’s hoping enough of ‘our folks’ get out to vote again.

Murphy’s Law holds that this week his car will be stolen.

What do you expect will happen when the Republicans announce that they will filibuster any meaningful legislation and then they do just that (on merely the threat of a filibuster)? And since we have a complacent Congress that is not willing to force them into an actual filibuster, you have a system where nothing is going to get done, which is what happened.

Wowsers! Long Island sure knows how to steal those license plates and trample Wal-Mart workers to death! What’s their secret!?

“Expect fallout, expect foreclosures, expect horror stories,” California mortgage lender Paris Welch wrote to U.S. regulators in January 2006, about one year before the housing implosion cost her a job.
