Re: “The development comes on the same day that the Senate voted 53-45 to block a Democratic bill that would raise the debt ceiling through 2014 without any spending cuts or changes to Obamacare.”
Interesting.
That means about 10 Democrats voted “No” on a Democrat bill.
I'll guess that ALL 10 are up for reelection in 2014!

That is real interesting....
I was trying to figure out how Harry Reid could let that happen....
Now it is becoming apparent that the Senate is the REAL PROBLEM!

No, they’ve got 54 seats (2 are technically ‘independent’ but they belong to Harry).
One was probably just out stealing WIC vouchers from poor mothers at the time.

53 Dems voted for it. It needed 60 votes to pass. If they really wanted it they would of dropped the 60 vote threshold and passed it with 51 votes.
