RECORD-BREAKING: SENATE CONSERVATIVES - New Report Shows How Conservative Minority Rules by Filibuster, Preventing Up or Down Vote on a Record Number of Bills

A new report released today by the Campaign for America’s Future details the 62 times conservatives have used the filibuster to block legislation (or force modification of bills) in the first session of the 110th Congress. In just the first year of this two-year Congress, their use of the filibuster in the Senate topped the previous record, reached during the entire 107th Congress

The American public roused from at least momentarily from its lethargy in 2006 voted in a Democratic majority because they thought the country was headed too far to the Right, the wrong direction. Rather then bow to the will of the people the Senate has decided to block bills from even coming to a vote. Or put another way, Cons lost so they throw regular temper tantrums.

Lingerers and Quitters 

Some people plod away in dreary jobs and dead relationships, while others are forever cutting people off and finding new careers. If you fall into one of these two extreme categories, your tendency could be a default.

At one end of the emotional spectrum are those with high need for closure. People with this mindset want definite answers. They would rather be fired or broken up with than linger on in ambiguity. These types prefer order and predictability in the world and tend to be decisive. If you suspect you fit the bill, you may be cutting yourself off from the rewards that come from waiting to see how situations unfold. Your anxiety is driving you to force resolutions—but though you may feel better temporarily, you may also miss out on better opportunities in the long run.

But those with a habit of avoiding denouements altogether are also cutting themselves off from potentially fulfilling alternatives.

I think my tendencies are toward being a quitter (their nomenclature not mine). Being a military brat I got in the habit of things just naturally coming to an end and starting something new though I do be a high value on friendships. If I see employers as disposable maybe its because that is the way most employers these days view their employees despite the trendy human resources attempts to make everyone fell like they’re an important clog in the machine.
