Reid does not have the strength to enforce Dem discipline in the Senate.<br /><br />Dems need a new Senate leader.

They failed 6 months ago and this would be a non-issue if they had done their jobs. I'm not defending the Republicans, they are just as bad as the Democrats are. One look at the games both sides play is proof that a two party political system is more counterproductive than it is beneficial to the ones who are ultimately effected by their lack of urgency: us citizens. Extend and pretend while putting off decisions until they are no longer relevant. I don't see how anyone can defend either side with the state this country is currently in when it is being led downhill by both parties and has been for a long time. Point fingers, play the blame game and worry about keeping voters on their side, the issues can be dealt with after elections...if they have time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
