Republican abuse of the filibuster

[whitehall]

You can't display a chart unless you have what they call a control chart or a chart that shows how often the other party engages in the same thing. What does "abuse" mean? Is it a liberal definition something like "bipartisanship means republicans caving into democrat demands"?

Republican abuse of the filibuster

One of a multitude of reasons that Congress is at record low approval ratings. Though this one is likely to carry extra weight.

Leave it to the libs, they defend the A.G. when he authorizes the shipment of 2,000 illegal weapons to Mexico which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Mexican citizens and one US Border agent but they characterize a legitimate political procedure as "abuse" because they don't like it. B. Hussein Obama is abusing this Country. Attorney General Holder is abusing this Country. The filibuster is legal.

The last time I turned on C-Span, a Democratic Congresscritter was reading the newspaper to his colleagues.

Chris is very very dishonest or very very stupid. notice no link or discussion?...I have no idea what that chart really means....number of votes not meeting the required 3/5ths? how many of them had dem. votes AGAINST the very same measure prevent it from reaching the cloture threshold?



and, one more time- april 09 thru jan 10, there was no cloture threshold because the dems had the numbers.

Then why have the Senate Republicans continued to slow-walk every nomination that comes before them? Even those with no opposition at all are forced to wait for months before the GOP allows them a floor vote. The contrast with how quickly President Bush's committee-approved nominees were given a floor vote is shocking. An average 22-day wait for President Bush's district court nominees has ballooned to 90 for President Obama. For circuit courts, Senate Republicans have forced the average wait from 30 days (for Bush) to 137 (for Obama).

Another shining example of why the right wing has sunk as low as it has.

Liberal dictionary:
====================================
Low - on the same level as a Democrat.
