I don't see why the Republicans are whining over this. Isn't it basically the same thing that they did in the U.S. senate last year?

4. the weeping boner should attack the senate republicans
over their secret holds on judicial nominees
Talk about not wanting to talk about things like an adult
and then being able to hide in secret

6. They are and were threatening a shutdown if they don't get their way
Barely a week before. And now this? I can't believe the boldness of their hypocrisy.

7. The GOP under bush was an assault on the middle class. They've picked up
where they left off.

I haven't seen even one tiny little attempt to create one full time job.
