Somebody remind me: WHAT did Senate Democrats get in exchange for not ending filibuster?
Whatever promises they got look like pretty thin gruel in the face of this debt ceiling nonsense.

It is hard to believe they are such incompetent idiots that they thought GOP promises would stop this kind of nonsense.

Do they even want to win or do they just want to put up the pretense of a fight like the Washington Generals playing the Harlem Globetrotters?

1. I'm sure you are capable to do a search on Google to find what rules WERE changed in the Senate ...
in January 2010.

I'm too tired right now to do your homework for you.

p.s. Btw, insinuating that democrats are 'incompetent idiots' is OFFENSIVE.
