There's 5 or 6 of you parasites that just had to show your white ass off n' fk everything up. Vamoose Papoose. Give me 52 DEMS that aren't out to stab their own party's President in the back (just to see how many INDEPENDENT power points they can gather up.) Traitors are human waste. They should of been made to pay. They still should be made to pay.

So you feel people should vote strictly on Party lines?

On Filibuster? Yes. They could of voted no on the bill. They needed 60 to kill a Filibuster. Just majority for the bill. They should be punished for ever not supporting him on at least killing a Filibuster. No respect. They need a lesson. They need a painful lesson. These traitors are a pack of vermin. You need to punish vermin. I had a sink that my washer drains into. A lil baby rat somehow got into that sink , n' couldn't get out. I did not waiver. I simply let the washer drain properly into the sink. Vermin is vermin.

the likely replacement for bayh as nominee is a pro-gun, anti-abortion democrat. and the republican dan coates is even more conservative.

evan bayh had to represent his constituents in indiana, not someone elses in san francisco.

the problem with the progressive arguement that what's lacking is party discipline is the utter failure to notice that despite the election of obama this is still a center-right country. you can "punish" all the evan bayh's and ben nelson's you want. it won't help move a purely progressive agenda through congress.

i'd leave it up to to the republicans to purify their party.

If a Dem Senator won't back a Dem President in a Filibuster vote, then they are totally useless.

which party is doing the purifying? while a pro-choice moderate gets elected as a Republican (Scott Brown), a Democratic moderate (Bayh) throws in the towel because its just too partisan. boo-hoo.

Frankly I think its good for the country if many of these guys from both parties either retire or get beat. My theme is start over fresh with younger people. McCain is one who I think should step aside. I mean at 74 do you really need to be running for a fresh six year term in the senate?

They should've threatened to vote against the bill, but not the Filibuster. You don't vote against your party's President on a Filibuster vote. Any Democrat who threatened to do so should be laying on a slab. Have to say that Howard Dean is 100% right about the party (not tough enough.) They aren't doing anything for the country, they are just attention-seeking opportunistic parasites. That is especially true about Lieberman, Mary L., and Nelson. Blanche is a Moderate Republican in the wrong party. Bayh has no personal ideology whatsoever. I'll tell ya why he left. He was gunna have to attack the President (to keep his seat.) That's against his nature. His nature is to be for what 60% of the people are for, and against what 60% of people are against. In other words, he's useless as old gum.

Even if they disagree with him?
