@SlipKnot7480 your forgetting the people who died on the other side. Your right about saving money too. We should end the war, which is where all the money is going.

@Alexn1067 please elaborate more.

When was this?
-
Iowa State sucks by the way...maybe had you been educated at some place such as MIT or Harvard, you would have the brains and intelligence to make a more educated comment. Dick Durban is an excellent senator, what have YOU done for our country?
-
what's amusing is that here we have a senator that has been swimming in the cess pool of Illinois politics. this farce of a senator probably doesn't even know where Iraq is. He's never been to Iraq either. His real name is Dick Turban!

There is uses for everything, the filibuster is one of those things.
-
Yes, someone pointed out that the filibuster is useful in stopping the appointment of a bad judge to high court. I still see the filibuster as the difference between what we have done for healthcare and what the other western countries have been able to do. Durbin is talking AGAINST the use of the filibuster by threatening another filibuster.
-
The majority isn't always correct. This is true throughout all of history. Congress needs more impassioned pleas and less people just voting with the herd. We wouldn't have gone into Iraq if there were more senators who had one iota of true conviction.
-
Time to do away with the filibuster. We don't need a minority of the senate blocking legislation that a majority of the people, the House, the President AND a majority of the senate wants to pass!

he basically called our troops nazis....enough said, durbin is a piece of shit
Mitch McConnell is my senator in Kentucky and he is an absolute idiot.
Ditch Mitch!

VERY proud of my Senator (I'm from IL). HELLUVA speech. 73% of the American public thinks the war in Iraq was a mistake and wants us OUT of there. Only a few idiots - like patsagainstrats - still support our Torture President and his illegal invasion of Iraq. And those idiots all share the blame and the guilt, along with our War Mongering, power-grabbing President.
