[history]
Dems pursued a procedural tack that required two thirds of the House to prevail, enabling Republicans to defeat it, and obviously opposing this bill was a morally questionable thing to do. But I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that Weiner's rant doesn't do anyone any good -- least of all Dems. Republicans want Dems to respond this way -- to fulminate and rant about procedure and about their inability to pass legislation, even though they enjoy comfortable majorities.

Notice how the WaPo Jourbalist is coaching and siding with the Democrats? They don't even pretend to be non-partisan anymore...

I saw the rant on Fox tonight. That guy is a full blown kook. Reminded me of a 5 year old throwing a tantrum.

Dems would be far better served if they kept calmly repeating that Republicans want government to fail
Those of us with measurable IQs know the government has already failed.

Nobody talking about how this “billions for health care” will paid for - we are 1.7 TRILLION in debt now.
NO MORE freebies. as far as ‘morally wrong’ - the author needs to get a grip.

I have never seen bias like this in my life.

Between Weiner, Grayson, and Rangle...all I know is they can keep coming for the next 60 to 70 days for all I care. Keep blowing up boys! November is coming and you know you are finished.

Weiner has a strong opponent this year. his name is Bob Turner. this is not on any ones map now but that does not mean it is not winnable. The seat only has a Democrat performance margin of 5%. So it is one of the two winnable districts in New York city. This retards actions may well make it more winnable. Bob turners site is below.

obviously opposing this bill was a morally questionable thing to do Really? Folks in, say, Iowa, should be taxed to pay for benefits to local Firemen and Police in NYC?
If this is so damn important why doesn't NYC raise the money?

They might be starting to melt down at a faster pace, in the face of horrific internal polls.
Michael Barone has essentially said Nov “could” be a historic landslide.
Obama has now thrown Rangel under the bus publicly, a looming Sept House trial the worst possible thing they want to endure.
HAHAHA

Here’s what it boils down to: The Democrats thought some House RINOs would cross over and give them cover, and when they didn’t, they got pissed. They’re frustrated because the jig is up. Republicans get shut out of the debate but then are expected to carry the Dem’s water.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
I just love it when Democrats lose control and wet their pants. You can just feel the frustration and rage. Just like a little kid who doesn’t get his way. I’m surprised he didn’t hold his breath.
