Letters: GOP blocks Gonzales no-confidence vote - Salon

• Let the obnoxious, smirking little turd stay on the job

  It's almost better to keep all the Bush administration criminals in the public eye. I wish Rumsfeld was back too.

  This whole administration is such an insult to the country that it's better they all go to the bitter end. That way, at least, the failure will be totally on them. They can't say Congress or the Democrats stymied them, held them back, crippled them.

  Every miserable failure of the mis-administration is 100 percent on them.

  Let it be.

• What Gives?

  Salon please help me understand this. I thought the Dems won the Senate in the '06 elections. But every time they try to act, we hear they need not 50, but 60 votes. Yet when the Gops held the Senate, the Dems were unable to stop the Gop; and the Gops threatened to "go nuclear" if the Dems mentioned the word "filibuster" or so much as looked the wrong way at even the most extreme Bush-Cheney judicial nominees.

  Can someone please explain why the Gops controlled the Senate with 50 votes, but the Dems are unable to pass anything with 51? What was the point of my voting in '06?

• Lieberman

  One word: Lieberman.

  Another word: pussies.

  that's what Dems are. cuz you're right. even though Lieberman pretty much controls congress with his swing vote, the dems are still pussies. Bush has just discovered his veto pen, and u know he'll just keep vetoing anyting sent his way that's not what he wants. And since the Dems don't have balls, they'll always end up giving Bush what he wants.

  say what u will about Newt, at least he tried to stand up to Bill. Dems won't do it cuz we're pussies. short 'n simple.
