The Filibuster-Proof Majority

Markos Moulitsas' wide-eyed glee in this MSNBC video is almost creepy:

Ezra Klein notes how short-lived these legislative majories are, with the implication that the Dems better ram home their program while they've got the chance: "Democrats Have 60 Votes. What Will They Do With Them?"

At The Hill, "Another vote for card-check bill" (via Memeorandum).

Dick Morris suggests the GOP should stand its ground against the disastrous Obama policy agenada.

Actually, I'm glad the Minnesota race is done. Now we'll really see the Democratic agenda in action. The Dems are the country's majority party. They'll have responsiblity for the policy disasters under their watch. As Private Pigg said about Al Franken in the comments here yesterday:
I'm glad he won. The last thing we needed was the economy to be stinky and Democrats to be able to point to Republicans who were actually able to kill some Dem programs and use them as scapegoats. Now the Dems can ram their crap through, over-reach, and be out of power in 2 and 4 years.
Video Hat Tip: Hot Air.

    Would that the scope of the disasters was limited to the next election.
    Alas, the likelihood of long-term damage is high. High on hopium and changeeba. Can't be reasoned with. Feels no pain. You know the deal.

    It will take generations to undo the damage that these brain-dead Obamaniacs (and their media enablers) are going to do to this country.

    Primarily due to the actions of the ObamACORNs, coupled with the now obvious rampant stupidity of the current government-schooled American electorate, I fully anticipate the dims will not only maintain there majority next election, but could very well emerge with a defeat-proof socialist congress for the duration.

    God, I so hope I am wrong.

    Shoprat,

    Should things continue as they are, I now believe we are headed for a massive economic depression that will take at least two decades to emerge from.

    As I am now 45, I am not sure I will live long enough to witness our emergence from same, assuming (perhaps erroneously) that there will even be an emergence.

    @Dave,
    That is a thoroughly horrifying possibility.
    If "We the People" let this be so, then bad on US.
