In An Effort To Make Obama A One Term President.. What Bills Have the GOP Filibustered?

to name a few..



I'm rewriting the one at the bottom so it can be read better..

Here's an astonishing one. The Republicons filibustered the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensatin Act .. basically, heathcare for 9/11 Heros. Efery Republicon senator voted to filibuster this bill. I suppose the Republicons are only interested in 0/11 heroes when they used as political props. Bob Cesca

Not being a facebooker I don't know how that works. Can you go to Bob Cesca's, "facebook.com The Everlasting GOP Stoppers"?

Good Luck!

It brings to the forefront, and in fact highlights, who the GOP hates in this country. I would say that it is every man woman and child in this great nation. Anyone below the upper eschelon. It is obvious that we are all beneath their contempt!

If you are not in the class of the elite 1%, you are nothing.

Way to go assholes, great way to broaden your miserable base!

Thanks Cha for making this so crystal clear.

what's been denied our Country by the teabaggers, she. Not only that.. but, what PBO has tried to do for us.

There's so much misinformation and blatant lies coming from the gopropanda machine via the US media that has too many people suckered.

You're welcome.

No it does not.

Reid is waiting for a response from McConnell. If McConnell declines to strike a deal, Reid has enough votes to implement reforms through the nuclear option, a controversial tactic whereby Senate rules can be changed by a simple majority vote.

But Reid does not have 51 votes to make the rules change that liberals say is most important: requiring senators who want to filibuster legislation to actively hold the floor and debate. If senators seeking to block business fail to continuously hold the floor, the matter could advance by a majority vote.
“I would say the talking filibuster at this point does not have 51 votes,”
said Durbin.

Like Reid must follow the rules and the law, DU also has rules to abide by. This is clearly stated in bolding that it is in The Barack Obama Group, which should be unnecessary in any case.

As a member since 2004, you know this.

These Bills have been FILIBUSTERED by the GOP. Not the DEMS.
