Let's Recap....

I'm willing to bet Corzine and Kaine are re-elected handily.

It's early, but there is hope.

Yes, they determined what legislation made it to the floor, but they did not control what legislation went to the president for signature. The senate still needs to get 60 votes to end a filibuster or invoke cloture. So while they had a majority they did not have control to push through anything and everything.

I only have one question for you then:

How many pieces of legislation were introduced by the GOP and ended up being killed via Filibuster by the Dems?

And "They didn't introduce the legislation because they knew it would get killed because they didn't have 60 votes" is not an answer - that just means they were chicken.

That's a double tap to the head for idiotboy. Guaranteed he won't have an answer.

I give up. How many???

I'll answer. Zero. Your premise, like you, is flawed.

As is typical, wrong again. Wouldn't you like to be right just one time?

The filibuster has tremendously increased in frequency of use since the 1960s. In the 1960s, no Senate term had more than seven filibusters. One of the most notable filibusters of the 1960s was when southern Democratic Senators attempted, unsuccessfully, to block the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by making a filibuster that lasted for 75 hours. In the first decade of the 21st century, no Senate term had fewer than 49 filibusters. The 1999-2002 Senate terms both had 58 filibusters.[19] The 110th Congress broke the record for filibuster cloture votes reaching 112 at the end of 2008. [20] [21]

I'm right more often than you're wrong which is a lot. The other part of your premise was that "good" pieces of legislation wouldn't be brought forward.

Of the filibusters you cited, how many were "good" pieces of legislation.

[MarcusKspn]

And the fact that there were closure votes means that the filibusters were defeated.

LMAO at you!!!! I was wrong twice so you were right 3 times!!!!

I don't know what the legislation was, doesn't matter. Given that the republicans had the votes needed to pass any legislation they wanted it is safe to say that democrats did the majority of the filibustering. There were undoubtedly far more pieces that were never introduced just knowing the democrats would filibuster.

[ScareCrow57]

And the fact that there were closure votes means that the filibusters were defeated.

Actually, defeating a filibuster means the legislation is put to a vote.
Cloture means that the legislation is tabled. There is no vote on the legislation and the filibuster is effective in preventing the legislation.

But since this thread is about recapping. Let us not forget that this president screwed up on day one when taking the Oath of Office.

Hey Dumbo. As the man taking the oath in his biggest moment ever you would think he would get it right. Typical liberal, blaming someone else. . you just keep digging a bigger hole

[Bones42]

I don't want to let any facts get in the way of a good discussion...but they both got it wrong.

He did get it right idiotboy watch the video again.

Just to be clear. Justice Roberts administered the oath and put the word “faithfully” at the end of the oath instead of where it belonged, before the word execute.

This is the oath: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

This is what happened on Inauguration Day:

ROBERTS: I, Barack Hussein Obama…
OBAMA: I, Barack…
ROBERTS: … do solemnly swear…
OBAMA: I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear…
ROBERTS: … that I will execute the office of president to the United States faithfully…
OBAMA: … that I will execute…
ROBERTS: … the off — faithfully the pres — the office of president of the United States…
OBAMA: … the office of president of the United States faithfully…
ROBERTS: … and will to the best of my ability…
OBAMA: … and will to the best of my ability…
ROBERTS: … preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
OBAMA: … preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
ROBERTS: So help you God?
OBAMA: So help me God.

You continue to display your stupidity in real time.

Stop trying to rewrite history!!!!! Here is an article with a link to the actual event at the bottom. The man stumbled and fumbled his way through one of the biggest events of his life.

Obama Oath Mishap

For the love of god, even you can't be that stupid!!!

Not as bad as George W. Boooosh stumbled through eight years of the worst administration ever.
Damn, you're stupid.

Apparently you aren't old enough to remember LBJ, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton.

Idiotboy strikes again. It's a conservative blog. Since you discount my blog links as partisan I get to do the same.

They're looking for a "gotcha" moment. Obama was following Roberts' lead.the onus was upon Roberts to say the correct wording in order for the President-elect to follow. Roberts screwed up the first time through. Even your idiot post states that.

This was an event being watched by billions. I'm sure you would have gotten it correct despite being lead incorrectly.

Ha ha ha ha....who am I kidding? You can't even manage credit card balance.
