Seems Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has led one too many filibusters. Cuz he really doesn't seem to understand what voting means anymore.
"Yesterday in the Senate we got a vivid look at why the challenges in this country are so difficult to address," McConnell said. "With a looming deficit some have called the most predictable in history, with a national debt at a level none of us ever even imagined, with millions unemployed and millions more underemployed, with the biggest tax hike in history looming at the end of the year, and with entitlement programs like Medicare and Social Security drawing ever closer to insolvency, here's what Senate Democrats did yesterday: they ducked.Democrats ducked by voting? Disagreement is avoidance? Democrats agreed to voting on five bullshit budget resolutions, two of which didn't even get 20 votes! So were a couple of dozen Republicans ducking when they voted against those two resolutions?"They were presented with five different options for dealing with these problems, and they voted against every single one of them."
Maybe this explains the Republican filibuster addiction. Maybe they're so confused they think if voting is ducking, then obstructing must be taking action.
