The thoughts of the chairman - FloridaBrit's Blog!

A loss of nine Senate seats would give Democrats a 60-40 majority and allow them to stop Republican filibusters - attempts to prolong debates on legislation in order to prevent its passing.

Just six years ago, Republicans held the White House and both houses of Congress. If Barack Obama wins the White House, Democrats are set to be in their strongest position in Washington since Jimmy Carter ....

 

Hey repubs....  Dont worry theres lots of room for you all in Caribou Barbies home state-

watch out for the Russkies tho... !

What if the Republicans gain seats? Have you even considered that? Of course not.

Republicans and Democrats alike are sick of Nancy "Porky Pig" Pelosi and her power trip.

Something for you to think about.

As a good brit who left England to get the "bad American" money, let see if you can bend over an kiss your rear if we do get a bigger democratic control congress, maybe you will have to become a Piccadilly street walker to pay the taxes that would be approved, as to your MISINFORMATION, the DEMOCRATS whose ass you now kiss have held the house powerless more than the republicans with filibusters, your poky pig girl pelosi and mexican communist democrat tom lantos, D-San Mateo, took a trip to Syria and suggested may be interested in taking another diplomatic trip -- to open a dialogue with Iran that is what they want like you to destroy this country credibility against terrorist, this is the filth in congress now, also in her power trip where she thinks she can control everyone insulted Sen. Joe Lieberman for making what she called "totally irresponsible" remarks about democrat obama,she warned him Senate Democrats can strip him of his committee chairmanship, that is again the filth that you imported liberals like.

I know it's almost Halloween Buddy, but you don't have to scare all the Independents to vote for McCain and the Congressional Repubs like that! ( They already realize that it'll take an experienced man like McCain to get us through all the Major Problems in every area of governance facing our Nation presently. ) Obama needs to gain experience; then he can come back. But now’s not the time after only 2 years in Congress voting down party-lines and uncertain “PRESENT” votes. Think about it Buddy, I know you’re reasonable, and I understand your interest in Obama. But our country must come first.

Filibustering is employed by BOTH parties. The Dems have prevented MORE than their share of progress with it.

I just heard an Education System Analyst on NBC, who are typically Democrats, discussing George Bush's PLANS for our education system. He said the PLAN was a good plan . . . but Democrats prevented it from working by holding back funding.

They're all a bunch of idiots. We need to all meet at Jamestown and start over. To conduct Congress the way Franklin, Jefferson, et. al. intended. Me, you, kippp, Frank, and Ed would take leave of our jobs for a session to keep our Nation moving forward. No time to tell lies, take bribes, and vote "PRESENT". And if we did, we'd Tar and Feather each other!

brit..great post... I too was thinking the very same thing yesterday. If the Senate turns into a true majority and the house as well then that would mean the republicans would be mere spectators... Nice thing huh? Obama could tell the republicans we can do it with your support or without doesnt matter to me...

It really depends on what kind of Democrats elected. I'd prefer a Congress that doesn't doggedly follow The Party Lines of the Extreme Minority-Right or Left. One where Gingrich Grid-Lock is avoided and only One Law, etc. per Bill, not the present Add-On Special Interest Crap hidden within. IMHO Thank You For Your Indulgence

It's amazing to read as formerly staunch partisan Republicans now seem to be wanting to "reach across the aisle" in a cooperative spirit.

It couldn't be in anticipation of losing control of two branches of government could it? How about those attacks that have been coming on strong for the past eight years?

good post, I have not thought of that. Everyone knows that the republicans have done everything in their power to stop everything that comes across the floor. It would be nice for some of it to get past, but the republicans hold everything up as much as they can.

Think about this, if the house and senate are demcratic,where is the checks and balances. If FlorBrit remembers that is the problem in British politic. What ever Obama chooses to change he can, both houses will push it thru.
No clear thinking person can believe this is a good idea.
One more point,he is going to give everyone a tax refund. That include those who don't pay taxes. So my tax gives someone who pays no tax a refund.

Brit, were you her for the Carter administration complete diaster! You could have picked a better example.I have to agree with ukusa there needs to be give and take , in the legislative branch. Push and pull, it is why the founding fathers designed it so, for as long as there is this dialouge people are less likely to take up arms.

BRIT...you shouldn't use the words Democrap & Utopia in the same sentence...this kind of opposite attraction does not mix or go together!

aahhh...yes, the Carter years...boy, were those good times...a panty-waist waffle for a president, one that would kiss the behind of any nation that challenge our way, 18% interest rates on car loans, high unemployment....and incredibly low pay for the military..

Brit, this is one of the stupidest posts, which clearly sheds light on your mentality and intellect. Democrats in charge equal only more taxes, more government, more corruption...and more entitlements to slacker minorities who want to sit at home and spit out babies like a pez dispenser....


Plumignorant, - the republicans haven't stopped everything, that's a flat out lie. In fact, some things that the democraps wanted to push through, would've cut your own economical throat...

but, enough said, if obama gets elected, you'll reap what you sow....

Good post FloridaBrit. If such a thing happens as some are predicting, it shouldn't be too worrisome. The Democrats are famous for reaching across the aisle.

yeah, they'll reach across the aisle; especially if you have more money, then it's not "fair," and they'll want to tax you more, to make it fair.....
Hey Brit, I have an idea, this is MY country, fought and paid for with the blood of my fellow soldiers...why don't you back to England? It's wimps and liberal hacks like you that give this country a bad name, and make it vunerable; re: many articles about muslim population taking over UK...maybe you should have a little "loyalty, and go back and solve that problem.
