Why are the Senate republicans on the verge of setting the record for?

Question

filibustering the most amount of legislative bills for a two year period in less than one years time?

Answer 1

It only proves that the Republicans are only working as obstructionists to any attempt at improving the situation at home and abroad by the Democrats. Republicans have been defiant to work with the American people, and such action will cost them more seats next year.

Answer 2

LoL...yet it's the Dems fault that "nothing is getting done".

I love how Bush attacks the Dems for inaction, yet somehow magically forgets that the Filibustering Cons block virtually EVERYTHING they do. There's no reasoning with ignorant brats (Conservatives in Congress).

Answer 3

For the same reason they worked the fewest days during their tenure (Jan 2003-Jan. 2007) of any modern Congress. They must want to lose their seats.

Let's give them their wish as a Christmas present next year.

Answer 4

He must be listening to Harry Reid ( 90% of the legislation that went to cloture was introduced by Reid )

Oh and dogsngoa the 2003-2007 Fewest days worked you claim is wrong. 1/96-1/2000 looks to have that honors.

Answer 5

Because they are tired of passing irrelevant and non important non binding resolutions. They would prefer to get down to some real business but the democrats thinking they will retake the Whitehouse wants to hold off until then.

Answer 6

They are on the verge of putting up with more crap from the other side of the aisle than any other Senate

Answer 7

Post a source.... pretty sure you are making that up

Answer 8

We have asked them to not pass pork
