The gop was threatening a filibuster on both unemployment benefits and tax cuts for all Americans. They could have allowed the tax cuts to sunset but Democrats wanted an UB extension.
Sorry, all of America now knows why the wealthy are getting tax cuts from the gop.
All the Dems had to do was convince, what, 3 GOP senators to go along with them? But it was not the GOP, it was Dems themselves that have had enough of Obama/Pelosi/Reid and their radical agenda.

Dumb broad. All they had to do was convince 3 GOP senators to go along with them and there could be no filibuster. How hard is that? Snowe, Collins, McCain, Hagel--all of them have a history of voting with the Dums.
But nice to see you are all in favor of bipartisanship and working for the good of the country.
