"Reid is notorious for calling tons of cloture votes, even for times when a filibuster isn't likely." You need to look up the procedure. Suffice it to say that Reid doesn't have much to do with calling for a cloture vote. senate.gov*2%3C4QLS%3E%0A "Then he goes out and complains about the GOP filibuster threat, which is completely bogus:" The party in power always complains about filibusters. Well, they do since they became common. en.wikipedia.org "a) Many of the cloture votes that Reid called for wasn't even in response to credible filibuster threats." Link? "When the Dems took charge in 2007, they did not have any intention of reaching across the aisle. Reid was only too happy to bait Republicans into obstructionism, knowing that he could make political hay out of it." How did he bait them into it? And how did he make those Republicans say that obstructionism was their strategy? The were many attempts to get the Republicans involved in the healthcare reform package. To the point that Grassley is now claiming credit for some of the things he wrote in the bill. Tenchu, you are entitled to your own opinions. You are not entitled to your own facts.
