    Dims might get 60 caucus senators

    something not getting much mention is the dim shot at 60 in their caucus

    The Democratic strategy envisioned reaching a filibuster-proof majority of 60 in the Senate .. 59 men + barney ..!!

    today : 56 dims + lieberman & saunders

    win in minnesota & georgia .. & the gop (& jet et al ) can go f' themselves.

    = supreme court justice .. US law without the falwell factor!
    as long as there are tests, there will be prayers in public schools.

    Be careful what you wish for. Dem maj across the board spells disaster. You can't be that stupid not to figure that out. Would be the same if it was a GOP sweep.

    The GOP rarely filibusters, so 60 Dems will be mostly symobolic.

    I don't want to see the Dems get 60.

    Balance.

    a major concern for me is the religious fanatics embedded in the GOP.

    the senate setup is stupid .. a majority is useless.. it takes 60 to get anything done.. if even one fanatic opposes, everything stops without 60

    If the GOP was not comprised of so many nuts I'd feel differently.

    any group that wants sarah in a position of global power needs to be b' slapped as often as possible.

    the dims were dominated by the neocons (barney liked it ) no way barney & reed & the other weakling dims can wrangle cooperation from the neocon / fanatics.

    I am 100% against EVERY neocon & falwell goal.
    1. we are at war over neocon lies .. killed 100s of thousands of innocents .. destroyed an innocent civilization (clinton too)
    2. the unregulated free market assumes honest management .. as enron demonstrated there are MBAs that can find loopholes in any non-policed regulation (mcCain & Graham support no regulation)
    3. mystical beliefs are determining health care .. keep your laws off my daughters body .. do as you please with my ex.
    4. trickle down economics assumes tax cuts to the rich result in investment in the US economy .. so 20th century
    I care less about gay marriage, but all women deserve the health care that is best suited for that individual's personal goals.

    & american workers deserve an AMERICAN wage ..
    not sure a boeing machinist deserves $38 an hour plus benefits.
