McConnell predicts filibuster of financial reform

The Wall Street reform bill may eventually pass in the Senate but not before it faces a filibuster Monday, according to Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Fox News' Chris Wallace pressed Sen. McConnell (R-KY) Sunday on whether he would have the 41 senators needed to filibuster the bill when it comes up for a floor vote Monday. "It's my expectation we will not go forward with the partisan bill," answered McConnell.

3. Good. Go ahead and fuck yourself, Mitch.
The Bill will still pass and it will split the GOP in the process.

5. Strategic feined threat to gain concessions from the Dems in negotiations..
Then claim victory when they pull the fili tomorrow saying they forced the Dems to concede critical changes and take credit for the bill when it finally passes.
