you're going to lose. Plus, how many arms did Harry Reid twist? Did he even try? We have no way of knowing.

But we do know that 10 Dems voted for torture. I think that a 2/3 vote is needed to break a filibuster. So why did those 10 (or 9 if we leave Lieberman out) decide to give King George what he wanted?

Did their constituents really want these things passed? I find that hard to believe. Do they live in terror of what Karl Rove might do to them? Then none of them have any business being a Democratic senator.

Any way you look at it, we're part of a party that seems to have lost its way -- and perhaps even its soul.
