Senate Democrats have once again proven that they are nothing more than whiny brats who throw fits until they get their way. After last week's "compromise" on the judicial nominee filibusters, in which the Dems basically got what they wanted, you would think the spirit of compromise might carry over for at least a day, but alas, the GOP could not get the votes for cloture on the appointment of John Bolton as UN ambassador. Once again the Democrats refuse to allow an up or down vote for a position that requires a 50%+1 vote for approval. They are fudging the system to make votes that are supposed to be straight majority votes into 3/5s votes by using the filibuster. The UN ambassadorial position is one that has never before been an issue. I believe I read somewhere that Clinton's nominee was confirmed 97-3. One day the citizens of this country will wake up and realize that the Dems don't have the people's best interests in mind, the only thing they think about is how to increase their own power and control over the people.
