#1 Republicans block cloture which ends debate on an issue.

About time the Reps. grew some.

#2 Gee, if you can't get your resolution passed, maybe you could compromise to get a different one passed, instead of whining about it?

#3 Actually, it was the Demonrats who wanted to shut off debate and force a vote. The Reps wanted more issues debated.

#4 This article is false. Jackal is correct. The Donks wanted to bring two resolutions for a vote, The Trunks wanted to open the issue for more discussion and the introduction of more resolutions.

#5 And, yet, when the Donks blocked the President's judicial nominees, does anyone remember it being called "blocking full-fledged debate"?

Naw, I thought not. Jeebus, we're gonna have to shoot some "reporters" before this thing's all over and done with, I'm afraid.

#6 I saw AP's headline and the blatant propaganda it was. Goddamn seditionists.

#7 I think the Republicans should spend the next 2 years blocking EVERYTHING. I mean everything. Shut Washington down. Don't let so much as a $50 appropriation pass through the congress. Obfuscate, deviate, deflect, delay, frustrate, block, filibuster, table, do whatever it takes. Fuck the dems.

Besides, 2 years of Congress doing nothing? Sounds good to me. It's when they are actually doing something that I'm afraid.

Ummmm, no, whining is an integral part of being a Democrat, you take that away and they'll explode from the pent up internal pressure. (yeah, I know, what's the down side of that? Besides having to clean up the floor and walls, I can't think of one)
