Which side is Durbin on in the kill Medicare debate?
Sounds like he is more than willing to negotiate it down some.

1. Doesn't matter
If someone calls him out, Durbin will just start crying on the Senate floor and apologize.

3. I caught that too, as part of Rachel's report on Coburn. Sure sounds
like he's willing to negotiate it away, a whole lot. He only drew the line when Coburn wanted to take it beyond the Ryan plan!

We are in deep shit.

4. he is up for election next year and if he does`t run...
the seat will go to a republican.illinois does`t have a decent democrat that wants to run for the senate. the best candidate we have refused to run last the last election and she probably won`t next year.

..and am I mistaken...don't the Democrats still have the majority? What are they negotiating??

6. He is willing to change medicare and
social security. No talk about a military that is larger than the rest of the world combined. Durbin has betrayed us.
