Neither party will give up the senate fillibuster rule. They have given it lip service before. When Scott Brown took Kennedys seat, they would not have passed Obamacare on a straight vote. So they used another rule to pass it. Democrats had no trouble passing anything they wanted while Kennedy had the winning vote. Its a good bet, the senate will be even up or in the GOP hands and Reid is helping make that happen. The bigger problem is the voter fraud. About 1400 felons (if I remember correctly) that gave Al Frankin the win. Many were interviewed and some folks believe he would have lost the race without the felon votes. If you need ID to get into the conventions, you should need ID to vote.

It is too bad that a number of states are not even competitive these days. Considering the 16 trillion dollar debt, 23 million out of work, a failed monetary policy, a failed energy policy, an expensive and unpopular health care plan that wont insure or cover every ailment or lower health insurance costs, one would think that would be enough to cause a 50 state victory in November. Perhaps a large percentage of people want to give up their freedoms and their independence, in order to be taken care of from cradle to grave. It seems that politicians will be given the authority to tell people what they can eat, smoke, drink, what they can drive and what work they will be assigned and how much we are paid. It wont be long, before we are told how large our families can be and what recreational activities are no longer good for the collective.

What types of candidates will step out in that country? History already has a list of names of despots, who thought they had all the answers. Given the nature of our media, anyone stepping out of line will be dealt with, because insubordination will not be tolerated.

Not voting sends one message. Whatever the winner decides, will not be actively opposed in the next election, because we only get to vote for the lessor of two evils.
