Politics Nothing goes with politics quite like crying and complaining, and we're a perfect example of that.

Default Senate Kills Harry Reid's Bill

I've quoted 2 of the more interesting paragraphs and have a link to the entire story below. This is getting very interesting. Reid is going to have to eventually acknowledge that he isn't going to ram a BS bill through the Senate, let alone the House. Scott Brown is showing his true RINO colors as expected and some Democrats are apparently listening to their constituents instead of the party line. Very interesting indeed.

....The Senate, after voting against House Republicans' proposal Friday night, effectively killed Democratic Leader Harry Reid's counterproposal Sunday afternoon. Sixty votes were required to advance the proposal, and it fell far short in a 50-49 roll call. While the test vote was expected to fail, the outcome stressed how important it is for the latest round of talks to produce a viable alternative.....

Reid won over just one Republican supporter, Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown, for his bill Sunday afternoon. On the Democratic side, he lost Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson, West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent aligned with Democrats.......

Sanders is a Socialist, and his vote was probably a protest of sorts.
