Reply #94: Do we have a 51-49 majority? uh uh.... [View All]

it is evenly split in the Senate, 49-49 with 2 Independents...so when anyone is talking about our great majority, and how we should be able to do this and that including impeachment....no, no, no...not possible with the "majority" of seats we have now...we need 67 votes or 2/3 majority to pass any damned thing, including the articles of impeachment, IF it even gets out of the House, where we have a whopping majority of 31...

The best thing we could do...is figure out exactly which seats in Congress are up for grabs, and work like hell to get more like minded Democrats elected in both the House and the Senate, so that next time around, we have a REAL majority...one that will allow us to take care of business w/o having to kiss Republican ass...which is what we should be doing now...instead of worrying about the best candidate for the WH...(especially since it's pretty obvious who that's going to be)...
