Republicans: Filibuster Everything and Win in November?

Senate Republicans are using the filibuster to limit and often derail Democrats' initiatives, paralyzing the Senate and making it nearly impossible to accomplish even the most routine matters.

This is just my observation-I believe that the democrats never had a majority of 60. Six called themselves Blue dogs and at least Five were Democrats "light" who could be and was bought by the Insurance and Banking industry.
-Trust me- the rich have theirs and own the government and no one will win except them.

The sad thing is that this strategy will probably work perfectly. The media will slant everything towards the Republican point of view, as usual. Obama will think that talking about it will be enough, as usual. Democrats will assume people are smart enough to see through the Republican tricks, as usual. People will once again lose to the big corporations, as usual.

They are not filibustering...they are threatening and the Democrats don't make them do it. If theyare going to freeze the government...at least make them get up and look stupid. Problem is the Democrats don't want to pass anything because everything they need to do will piss off some business that they want money from. Prostitutes all.
