    This is just amazing. The Democrats can't get enough votes to pass Obama's tax-and-kill-jobs bill because they are coming up for reelection and if they raise taxes and stop the oil subsidies, then they fear it's all over for them.

    Well, they might as well vote for it, because they are toast in 2012 no matter what.

    And good luck finding some Republicans who will vote for it. Any who do, need to be summarily drummed out of the party.

    Shame on those Democrats for stalling job creation and trying to make Obama look bad.

    Oh wait . . . they are afraid they won't get re-elected?? As in, they finally give a rat's ass what their constituents think??

    We can't have that, can we?:-D

    Senate Democrats watched their colleagues in the House lose 63 seats for falling into lock step with Odumbo. They simply don't want to make the same mistake, that's unfortunate. We need 13 seats, I think we'll get 'em.
