From the Blaze...

Democratic Sens. Mark Pryor (Ark.), Joe Manchin (W.V.) and Carl Levin (Mich.) voted with Republicans against the rule change.

Dims know what's dirty, and run from their own filth only during tough campaign times.

I hope these sleaze balls ^ are completely exposed on this - and the 0Care distancing - and ousted for good in 2014.

This is so BS and their opponents in their next election cycle need to call them on their sham vote. Here's why: Under Article I Sec.5.1 of the Constitution, a quorum to conduct Senate business requires the presence of 51 senators. Reid passed the rule chage with 52 votes -- 50 RATs and 2 independents. Three RATs voted with the Republican's against the rule change. If all of the Republicans and two of the three dissenting RATs had boycotted todays proceedings, then the senate would have lacked the quorum needed to make the rule change.
