Republican filth is filibustering Reid's bill to save the nation

[There Is No Spoon]

These scumbags are trying to destroy the country using a scummy procedural trick to force a 60 vote majority. These sorts of antics have NEVER been used for a debt limit increase.

Republicans want to play hardball - fortunately Reid is calling them on their bullshit. Can you believe McTurtle is trying to pretend that what he's doing isn't a filibuster?

I listened for about a minute and had to change the channel because I could feel my blood pressure going up.

I hate these fuckwads!

I've been so thinking that too.

If there ever was a time to make a big deal out of the filibuster, this is it.

Just keep pointing out over and over and over again on TV that the Republicans are filibustering this legislation.

That being said, this would cause the Republicans in the House to dig their heels even worse than they already are. Besides, if Reid could somehow get 3 more Republicans to help break the filibuster, he would have 7 Republicans on his side which would put a ton of pressure on Republicans.

At the Beginning of this Session Reid had the opportunity to fix the Filibuster process and he chose not too. This will haunt him.

The Republicans will be responsible for Bringing down the economy. We will not let them blame the President for this.

Republicans are filibustering the debt limit bill for the first time ever.

Media reaction? Just another routine day in the Senate

The Democrats at least have a massive amount of ammo next time they're in the minority. I can hear the Republican whining now.

You can't be one of those republicons and not be as slimey as humanly as possible without going off into slug territory.
