Evidently 59 votes is not a majority

And a conservative friend told me that the current proposal was a "feel good" measure rather than real reform. Which, of course is why the conservative right went ape-shit over the healthcare proposal.

Right.

I will believe that Republicans are honorable people when they denounce the "death panel" bullshit of their party and actually produce something that helps average Americans. Until then, they can take their Tea Parties and shove them.

I believe that the Republicans have not had as many as 59 Senators since 1922. But perhaps 51 is enough for them to do what they want but it takes 60 for Democrats to function?
