That's the minimum it really takes.
Roll over the minority party.
Ignore them.

5. It's really the only option at this point. |
|
Let's use our majority like a majority party should.

|
about neogoting with Snowe being a waste of time.

7. It is easier for Republicans, because they don't want anything to pass |
|
They have no goals for the government.
So it's easier for them.

They've got a larger majority even at 59 seats than the Repubs had while GWB did whatever the F he wanted to, as Jon Stewart put it in his amazing monologue last night.

13. plus a Senate majority leader with gonads |
|
If the Senate elected in 2000, 2002 and 2004 could pass Bush's agenda with a bare 50 GOP votes why can't the current Senate do the same?

14. Be careful what you ask for n/t |
|
Thats not the minimum it really takes if the minority is intransigeant and ignoring this just lets Repugs off the hook.
You would have to change senate rules to do as you suggest, which I doubt would Dems could do. Do you really want a Dem minority some day not being able to block a insane Repug bill?
