Hopefully the gross overuse of the filibuster is also at an end. I, for one, am sick to death of the hyper-partisanship of the republican party lately.

The so called party of no was meaningless as the Socialists held Pres, House & Senate. The race to deficit spend (and blame Bush for deficit spending!!!), the interference in the private sector by firing executives and taking over companies and the coming gas tax, Value Added Tax, bankrupting of coal companies etc. has to be stopped or their will be no makers left for the takers to take from. Apparently this minor nuisance fact doesn't register with them for some reason. There is a clash of ideas: Go free market capitalism which built the country into the richest country in the world or to adopt the socialism which is destroying Europe and now spreading in South America. Bring on the Partisanship....better that than lock & load.
