The point wasn't, lets run this through so the Republicans won't hold it up and use it against us in the elections; it was, lets run this through so the Republicans won't hold it up and we don't seem to be like the more-of-the-same that we really are going to be. The point was to make a show of strength and the ability to push through their agenda. And the idea that ~ this won't continue (isn't it already past the 100 days already) is shall I say, "unrealistic."
BTW, when is Diablos going to contribute to that thread? He should at least come in and tell me how completely OWNED I'm being OWNED there. &c.
