<p>Bearcats, do not give me that bull****. Didn’t take too long to find evidence to support “Republican filibuster nonsense”:</p>
<p>
In the 110th Congress of 2007-2008, with Republicans in the minority, there were a record 112 cloture votes. In the current session of Congress – the 111th – for all of 2009 and the first two months of 2010 the number already exceeds 40. The most the filibuster has been used when Democrats were in the minority was 58 times in the 106th Congress of 1999-2000.

"And it was hardly a bipartisan vote; only one Democrat, Ben Nelson, actually defected. "

<p>I do not support the lincoln-bill being touted as bi-partisan either. I do not blindly fall into line with viewpoints/proclamations of the party with which I normally agree.</p>
