Damn obstructionists. DEMS SLIPPING AWAY FROM REID ON BUDGET DEAL - Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin told CBS’ “Face the Nation” that his team will need at least eight Republicans to pass a two-year budget deal approved last week by the Republican controlled House. That’s his way of saying that three members of the Democratic conference have already told him that they will not vote for the deal. Which three? Vulnerable Democrats Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas and Kay Hagan of North Carolina have been noncommittal, but Fox News First suspects that the trouble is on the left. No word as yet from Elizabeth Warren, the freshman Democrat who has taken the reins of the liberal wing of Reid’s conference. Every vote Reid loses means another he will have to get from Republicans. John Boehner delivered. Can Reid? |

It's not dems that are obstructionists, it's conservatives. Reid will get it passed. |

Now that is a GREAT position for a "news agency" to take./ Base the news on suspicion rather than on fact. SOP for many at Faux News. |

Suspicion? Do you know what the senate make up is Colo? It's pretty clear that is the democrat leadership needs about 8 republicans in order to pass the bill then it is the democrats holding up passage. Obstruction is probably a term you are more familiar with. |

Pat, I simply quoted from your post. Did you or whoever you were quoting actually know that Fox News has something more than suspicion and just lied? |

Several dozen Reps will vote against it, and MAYBE three Dems. So of course its the Dems that are the Obstructionists. Got It. Edited by Brewster, Dec 17 2013, 06:47 AM.

Yep, Brew, you understand the right wing propaganda better than most right wingers on this board. It sad that they are such sheeple so wrapped up in ideology, that they do no see the right wing propaganda for what it is. |

Well then why didn't he just come out and say that, instead of expecting Fox to translate what he really meant. WTF don't you see through this BS. |
