Just heard on TV both Conrad and Lincoln are voting for the compromise...

[Change Happens]

So, looks like the Senate is a done deal...

I have to think enough pukes will support this to pass it in the House.

Happy Compromise day :)

1. Of course they will.

Everytime I see Conrad appear to talk about that Debt Commission, I turn the television off. I have come to loathe this proverbial wrench in the wheel.

2. Kinda explains why and how we came to this compromise!

3. Yup. People kinda forget we have the likes of

Senator Walmart and Senator Monkey Wrench.

4. why do people insist on calling this a comprimise?

it's a complete and total surrender, not a compromise.

5. Many also throw out the ridiculous idea that Dems are powerless

because of a threatened GOP filibuster in the Senate. The mind boggling aspect of that notion is that Dems have NEVER made the GOP actually fight for anything. The Obama folks have never pressed for a battle. They simply say they are powerless and we must eat shit or die.

We need a new candidate in 2012.
