I heard some pundit say that Republicans need to learn to act like the winners. They need to act like the Majority in the Senate.
I watch c-span and c-span 2 and I think is wrong, wrong, wrong, that the Minority can affect things so much.. What good does it do to be the majority. Do you guys know that any senator at any time for any reason can put a "hold" on an amendment or bill? I could be for anything as stupid as being talked about on the floor without being present. It is also secret so that no one knows and can put pressure on that Senator.
These childish rules have got to go if the Senate is ever going to get anything accomplished. I for one do not want my tax dollars to go to salaries, and the running of the senate if they are just going to whine and cry and play games until they get their way.
If these senators still represented states instead of "the nation," then they'd be a bit more balanced.
