Yay, mindless obstruction!

Of course Freepers love them some of Shelby's shameful obstruction. He's not letting anything happen in the Senate at all till he gets the pork he wants. Freepers think this is the way to play it:

Frantzie is pretty excited about what happens next:

Good. Max attack now. Shelby had buddies in the NSA and talked about the BC before. Come one Senator - do your duty.

Oh, Birthers.

‘bout time we served them with their own CRAP. Good...I hope they put these Marxists in a straight jacket for the next 3 years.

See, this is unprecidented crap so it's not their own CRAP at all.

Obama can of course make recess appointments but he shouldn't count on any Senate confirmation votes any time soon. The magic number is 60. Whoo hoo!

The magic number for the legislature to function at all? Wow, who knew?

Southack doesn't think this is about pork at all:

Shelby doesn't like 0bama's "Card check," 0bama's "Cap-n-trade" would kill Alabama's logging industry with tree fees, plus Alabama got screwed over on the high speed rail funds and missile defense de-funding, too.

Plus, Senator Shelby is one of the few Senators with brass balls and a strong dislike of 0bama's hyper-liberal nominees.

mtnwmn, on the other hand, not only acknowledges pork, he embraces it:

Senator Shelby looks out for his state.

Ugh. The evident lack of care for either Democratic reprisals or the general political price bespeaks a lack of respect for both the Democratic caucus, and American voters as a whole.
