Takeaway Washington correspondent Todd Zwillich caught up with Vice President Joe Biden yesterday. Biden, who was traveling his old stomping grounds on Capitol Hill to swear in Senator Scott Brown, had some interesting things to say about the filibuster rule in the Senate.
Democratic lawmakers have recently called for getting rid of the filibuster, but though he expressed frustration with the increased use of the tool for slowing down the Senate Biden stopped short of suggesting it be done away with.

I guess what traitor ass Biden is implying is that when a party has a majority they should be allowed to do what ever it is they want. I guess that turns into a dictatorship when the American people no longer have a voice. Its quite clear that majority of Americans do not want this health care bill, but the majority (democrats) seem to think they know whats best for all of us. The senate bill is full of corruption and conflict of interest which the interest isn't coming from the American people. I think its time for a new revolution to aid in a whole reconstruction of our government because their is a lot a terrorists in our government, financial, educational, and religious institutions.
As an American of the Republic I refuse to play the game or participate in the fraudulent mechanisms of the federal reserve and treasonous government policies.
The American people are NOT responsible for the debt occurred by corrupt government and the 1.5 quadrillion in derivatives plus; bailouts, TARPs, and stimulus'.
911 was a false flag operation to replace the failed attempts of operation northwoods to commence or initiate a New World Government.
Its time to END THE FED AND THE IMF, CIA, CFR, WHO, WTO, CDC, FDA, DHS because these are the real terrorist organizations behind the curtains.
