This may well be one of the reasons why the Senate Democrats are back peddling on the Filibuster issue. The latest Rasmussin Poll shows that 57% of Americans favour changing the rules concerning judicial Appointments.
This appears to be significant. And with the passage of time, it is sure to increase in the Republican's favor. I suspect that things will soon be changing and the Democrats will quietly seek a solution to this confrontation as they move on to other hot button issues.

Well, I will agree with you D2, they are indeed 'dumb', but their actions certainly don't speak to allowing the GOP to run wild, as that sexy sage from Texas claims. Perhaps you all need a class on how to define the issue, short of Bush is evil, or let's impeach him. That is guaranteed to gain a collective yawn. In fact the very thought just elicited one from me.
Yawn.

Yeah, she's a real Rip Snorter and a Rooter of a Date. This is more than enough to make the average Metrosexual purr with contentment and display his sensitivity. I wonder if TQ could be enticed to think affectionately of her?
She does look like one of the guys, don't you think? Plus she can swear like a lawyer and say the dirtiest of things.
gah! That picture is horrifying! Take it down immediately!

John, this topic is sooo much American and so much biased that nobody cares about it.
I mean only a very small minority cares about it (for the people reading this forum).
Be more international and you will increase the following here.
And be less, well, Republicans...
Otherwise, I'll tend to agree to the common belief.
This forum is dead.

That was an interesting article, Roadster. Anyone read it? whad do you think about it? I'd be interested in hearing what supporters of Bush's fiscal policy, (and that of Thomas Jefferson's 'yeoman' ) have to say about

Pre-tax incomes for middle-class families of every type (children, young singles, seniors, single mothers) are down, leaving the typical household with $1,535 less income in 2003 than in 2000, a drop of 3.4 percent.
After taking into account changes in both pre-tax incomes and taxes, the finding remains that most middle-class families lost ground between 2000 and 2003. This is true for married couples with children, elderly couples and young singles, although single mothers did gain 1.9 percent because of the greater refundability of child tax credits.
Family spending on higher insurance co-pays, deductibles and premiums escalated, rising three times faster than income for those married with children, absorbing half the growth of their income.

Me too but don't hold your breath. The resident pundits are too busy rolling around in sophomoric glee.
