Once a cancer, always a cancer

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Because a bill written and pushed for by corporate lobbyists is such a shining example of "democracy". @@

Also, proposing amendments to a legislative bill is hardly undemocratic.

But killing a bill just in order to sink an opponent's candidacy is.

No, no it is not. I don't get why people expect their political opposition to quit stonewalling, to bend over and spread their ass just because the others guys won the last election.

Have you really read the article Chairmansanchez?

This bill was made by Portman and Shaheen, a republican and a democrat, and Mcconnell just did all he can to sink this bill (and successfully). Simply because he wants to sink Shaheen's candidacy.
I fail to understand why you have said that.

I read that article, and I don't see anything wrong with that. It's politics. You play to win.

I'm confident that this kind of tactics will eventually come back to bite Republicans in the ass. In fact, they kind of already have, considering 2012's outcome, but more is yet to come.

If a net gain of 1-2 seats for the GOP in a class of fairly entrenched Democrats (Shaheen, Franken, etc) is a backfire, then I don't know what is.

I'm thinking more in the long term (ie, over the next one or two decades), but of course I could be wrong.

Your dead right in the long term; the filibuster is going to be used by Democrats against the next GOP president, and they (rightfully so) will be looking for blood.
