Word is that Mitch McConnel didn't want to miss the Kentucky Derby this weekend..

He has plenty of time to delay, obstruct, fear monger and block the bill....why mess up his fun?

first you bitch at them for ""delaying""....then you bitch when they agree to bring to the floor...

doesn't matter what they do, you'll bitch

The repubs realized their move would backfire on them at the polls.

We only bitch at them for being incompetent. For refusing to help clean up their mess.

only you could believe that pile of meadowmuffins....

yeah, its only the republicans fault, no one else and no one else in this thread bitched about them allowing the debate go to the floor....

no, they said they now had confidence the debate would be bipartisan, their tactics worked, instead of allowing the dems to run roughshod with another outlandish democratic bill....they wisely delayed to create stronger reform...

oh..i'm not bothered by it, hon. i think it's hysterical. typical government employee stuff. that's why i'd have made fun of the dems for the same thing.

actually, the repubs shut the dems out of debates and put them in basement rooms with no lights.

and yes, it is politics and people need a thick skin for it.

i used to work for an amazing person who would say 'politics is a full contact team sport'.

Come on people, get real.

Republicans are the party of big business. We know that. They want to bust unions and are for cheap labor. We know that.

Does anything believe they have the best interests of the American People over Wall Street? Seriously? Even the Republican base knows that business comes first.

What are you even debating? The Republicans deregulated Wall Street. Their answer to fixing the mess is MORE deregulation.

Come on now. Just stop. You have to "State your Case" before you can debate. Republican whine, but, "what is the case"?

Yurt, it is spelled "Glass-Segall", and, yes, the Dems with the Pubs were and are complicit in its revocation and the resulting economic scandals in investment since then.
