Filibusters

[biggunsbob]

Can someone find the exact number of times that the republicans have used this.. I know it is a lot but all the numbers i find are a few years old.. Good old Mitch McConnell and the republicans should be ashamed of the way he has fucked the American public the last 4 years... You can bet you A$$ if the Mitt gets in he and his cronies will try to figure a way around filibustering... Screw McConnell and the Tan Man for never wanting to work with Obama and the democrats . It really is shameful what the republicans have done the last 4 years... Hopefully the democrats will do the same thing if that idiot gets elected.. Amazing how many times the obstructionist republicans have failed America

to be fair... the democrats are equally to blame for the failures of wall street reform; the only difference is that the democrats seem to be ideologically in favor and only blunt their efforts after big lobbying $$$$$$$ from the banks, whereas the GOP is A-OK with an unregulated Wall Street completely fucking the entire economy for the sake of year end bonuses, and wouldn't even THINK of doing anything about it

Republicans would say that:

the HOR passed over 20 seperate jobs bills (leaving out that they attached a bunch of ludacris crap to the bill that has nothing to do with jobs so it wouldnt get passed).

Obama's veto threat held up the only bipartisan bill

Most of the regulations listed above decrease employment, increase cost and have nothing to do with fixing the economy (the economy a republican destroyed).
