It was a lot of hot air about a lot of hot air.

Something must be coming up in next day or so that ‘they’ don’t want to admit it should be passed SO, they will play some mind games for a couple of days, the bill will come to the floor and the LIBS will be tired and the ‘nasty R’s’ will push it through, taking advantage of the poor D’s who have been working hard for us - in fact 24 hours a day (IN THEIR SPEAK) anything over 8 hours for them clowns is considered being overworked....of course with what they are accomplishing, ‘WE THE PEOPLE’ are getting screwed either way.

To bad we can’t pay them like the old ‘sweat shops’.
You works your 12 hours, bring the results to me and that is what you will get paid for...
PIECE WORK... crappy but guaranteed to get a FULL DAY’S PRODUCTION FOR HALF THE PRICE>

Boy that is important to the unemployed or financially struggling. Democrats must be desperate to divert attention to the mess they've created. Look for a landslide in 2014 and 2016.

Their ‘Obama’ wet dream is imploding so they are left holding the bag... that is, the global warming shtick...

How pathetic, that they see global warming is the last credible cause and safe refuge for them now that they have squandered their political standing with years of blind and pointless defense of “O” and all his BS?

After a sternly worded letter to Mother Nature, the situation has been resolved.

I can’t help wondering if they perceive (through polling?) that Ted Cruz’s marathon speech really boosted him, and they’re trying to imitate it. This feeling was reinforced when I heard a sound bite on the local (Boston) news station of Ed Markey (D-MA) taking part by reciting a sort of take-off of Dr. Seuss . . .

When 30 democrats waste a night, fifteen minutes each, on a symbolic marathon over a non-issue that government cannot affect, it’s big news. When Ted Cruz does the same thing all by himself in a symbolic gesture to save our country from governmental overreach, it’s a joke.

Media bias is overwhelming.

To me this appears to be a bit of stagecraft aimed at their whacko base to soften the blow when Obama signs-off on the Keystone Pipeline on the tarmac in front of Air Force One just before jetting off for his July 4 holiday.

I'm surprised that Reid didn't melt or turn into a pile of dust from continuously speaking lies in his absurd talk-a-thon!

Well, since they’re in the minority, all they can do is talk instead of introduce legislation that will go nowhere.

Oh... wait...

The massage is clear if we are to save ourselves and the planet:

“The only thing that can save us now is to give 100% of our income to the government!”

Has anyone suggested that the DIMocRATs all get psychologically evaluated? They are obviously delusional, mentally ill and in need of major meds.

The group in the pic at Drudge doesn’t have an operating synapse amongst them.

Same BS different night. I was worried they would try and jam in some sort of surprise vote, say on that “Dr.” for Surgeon General. I thought “Slime ball Harry” would try it!
