Also, the Democrats would need 60 Senate vote to over ride a Filibuster. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you if there were ever a 50-50 tie in the Senate, guess who gets to break the tie? The sitting vice President.....that's who!!
So tell me Celtic how can the public only blame the Dems and Reid and Pellosi???? Tell the whole story why don'tcha.
So maybe the House and Senate leadership should learn how to actually lead, instead of just pressing for party loyalty. I would love to see the House and Senate both split evenly three ways.
If you want change stop electing "liberal: democrats and "radical" Republicans. Find and support true Conservatives; those who believe in fiscal responsibilities, individual accountability, and a smaller government, with less control of your daily life.
