as for the dadt filibuster- i said weeks ago that the courts will overturn it, congress and the prez haven't got the guts. a significant portion of the country doesn't want it to change, and no pol is wanting to vote for something that might cost them re-election later. that's why they filibustered, so they wouldn't HAVE to vote.
makes you wonder how much of the stuff being 'bustered is done for a reason. those guys scratch each others' back all the time. look at rangel. hand slapped for his ethics violations, because no one wants to get hard time when it's their turn. why anyone expects anything from any pol, regardless of party, is beyond me. they don't put their country first, their constituents first, they put themselves and the party first.

This is the truth. The first part is good. The second part is bad. The third part is just plain ugly. Why do liberals care about the deficit all the sudden? Where was this onslaught of frugalness when they were cramming through massive spending bills for the last 2 years? Everything is "unfunded" untill they TAKE the money from the taxpayers. It's past time for the Govt. (and a lot of Americans) to live within their means.
