Reply #13: Did you miss the "no matter how many times this is pointed out" wording??

In just the last month, I've personally had to make this point at least six times ... to apparently no effect. People even quibble and claim it's "not that simple." Well, it is that simple.

I've seen at least four other DUers make the same point - often to be reviled. (There's no accounting for the arrogance of ignorance, I guess.)


FYI: This is NOT new with the 110th Congress. The "Democratic" minority in the Senate, over the 41 needed for all 6 years, has had this power all along. But - as we're constantly reminded - they apparently can't muster up the "unity" to even find the 41 votes in their own caucus. One can only conclude that corruption and duplicity are not exclusively GOP attributes.
