How many believe the Dems had a 2 year supermajority?

You almost gotta laugh at the last desperate effort by the radical left to tell us how great socialism could have become if Obama only had a super-majority instead of a plain old majority in both houses of congress. Scary stuff.

Republicans have turned American helping American into (gasp!) "socialism". Hopefully, no one helps them.

1. 1/07 – 12/08 – 51-49 – Ordinary Majority.
2. 1/09 – 7/14/09 – 59-41 – Ordinary Majority. (Coleman/Franklin Recount.)
3. 7/09 – 8/09 - 60-40 – Technical Super Majority, but since Kennedy is unable to vote, the Democrats can’t overcome a filibuster
4. 8/09 – 9/09 - 59-40 – Ordinary Majority. (Kennedy dies)
5. 9/09 – 10/09 - 60-40 – Super Majority for 11 working days.
6. 1/10 – 2/10 – 60-40 – Super Majority for 13 working days

Total Time of the Democratic Super Majority: 24 Working days.

Once again for the slow and stupid. Bush had 51 Senators for 4 years Yet you all routinely claim that he had total control for 6 years some say 8.

And Bush used reconciliation THREE times to create trillions in debt. Do you want it "itemized"????? Why do you think the Tax Cuts needed to be "extended"?

Unemployment benefits: not until Bush tax cuts pass, Senate GOP says

Helping others is Charity.

Helping others through the use of coercion is socialism.

Not even close...

Remind us How Bush had complete control for 6 years or are you still saying 8?

Bush never had more then 53 Senators and only controlled the Senate for 4 years of 8. He never had a super majority at ALL.

The democrats controlled the House and the Senate for 4 straight years 2 under Bush and 2 under Obama. And exactly what did they accomplish?

You are making the mistake of thinking Democrats vote in a block. They aren't Republicans who vote in a block because they are 90% or more white.

Democrats have conservatives that are called "Blue Dogs" and we can name them. Republicans have NO liberals. Not one.

But you knew all that and still said something you know to be stupid. Why?

Really??

There are no Liberal in the Republican Party? Olympia Snowe? Ever heard of her? How about Susan Collins? Lisa Murkowski? Richard Luger??
