Just a reminder, the GOP didn't actually Filibuster anything to kill the jobs bill
Advertisements [?]
Every report I've heard on the radio (local and NPR) has said that the President's Jobs Bill has been killed in the Senate where it was filibustered. No it wasn't. Republicans only threatened to filibuster. No one stood up and spoke, and no one made them. It wouldn't be so bad to be beaten by the Republicans all the time if they actually had to come out and do it once and a while. Why in hell doesn't Harry make them get up there and talk if that's what they threaten to do. Fer christsakes, how hard is it to follow the fuggin' rules? If they don't want to end debate make them get up there and tell the world, hour after hour, just what it is about the jobs bill that they think is so heinous. God dam I hate a spineless Democrat and we've got plenty of them to chose from.
