We've now had a solid YEAR of the "party of NO" and it's time to get the business of the national government seriously back on track. The notorious filibuster has been used TWICE AS MUCH since the Democratic party (not "Democrat party" you ignoramus insulting Rethuglicans!) gained control of the U. S. Senate in November 2006. And it's really not "the filibuster" but the threat to block a vote on a particular bill or a single up-down vote.
It's time to squash this and get back to simple majority rule. I've done my first Twitter poll here, so join in the fun and make your choice visible (though anonymous) and public.
Democracy is about coming to grips with our problems--NOT just slamming on the brakes (except for the pork barrel projects that you are holding the rest of the Senate hostage for -- YES: that means your Senator Shelby and your pork-barrel demand that the Senate overturn a successful Boeing bid in favor or AirBus Instrusies just because they have an assembly facility in Alabama!)
