What the Senate Dems and Harry Reid Should Do Now
We lost that 60th seat. No we really didn't. Never had 60. Joe Liebermann was never there on anything important...like...oh...HEALTH CARE! So now that we are "technically' without that number 60.....first Harry and the Dems should feed good ole Joe to the dogs....or the repugs. Then they should use every parliamentary move available to pass the agendas that they were elected to PASS. Stop trying to play by rules to be nice to repugs, when they don't even realize that there ARE rules when THEY are in power!!
