Stealing the election... one fraudulent vote at a time... sigh... Repubs deserve to lose; they are gutless. There will be no fillibusters whether the Repubs have 43 seats or not...
That is not correct. The MSM wants you to believe that the RATS can break a filibuster if the GOP only has 42 or 43 seats, and that is NOT TRUE.
A procedural vote in Congress — which includes a cloture vote — is a very unique experience. Every senator of both parties has to worry about future election cycles. If he has 42 or 43 GOP senators, McConnell will have enormous flexibility, because Lieberman will help McConnell and other RATS (such as Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas) will be looking to 2010 with trepidation. The union bill is a good example.
McConnell can keep his caucus together on cloture and other procedural votes; then “release” members to vote for something much, much less onerous on final passage. Or kill something altogether.
Please do NOT throw in the towel. The MSM is lying and is totally ignorant of legislative procedure.
