Well to take a non-partisan stance. I'm sick of this shit. How government is affectively shut down by this partisan squabling in congress.
the party of 'no' got their noses bloodied again but will still dig their heels in wherever they can
like you i am sick of this shit
there is still a lot to be done, like banking reform and perhaps some real health care reform
the lobbyist are busier than ever
oh well - i agree

Well yea but let's be fair. How many of W's appointments were held up? How many of Clinton's?the party of 'no' got their noses bloodied again but will still dig their heels in wherever they can

i did not say that both sides have not done it, it is just the reps turn
however, to be fair to the dems, the reps were holding up all of bho's appointments, including ones that were mainstream and not left wing
holding up that many appointments was preventing the government from working, not that that is such a bad idea
part of the problem is that when the reps do it they vote in a block while some dems will vote with them when the tables are turned
perhaps the true solution is to require a two-thirds vote to pass anything and a three-fourths vote to override a veto thus preventing the tyranny of a simple majority, but then we would not have social security or medicare
what ever happened to a simple majority?
oh well
