if general motors had gone for the kind of chapter 11 that said bethlehem steel had gone through, during the bush administration, without government subsidies, they wouldn't be making the vote today and they would be a lot healthier. they would be making sensible cars and a profit.

caller: bethlehem, pennsylvania. host: ok, dell from bethlehem, pennsylvania. what's your preference, one party or divided government? caller: one party, of course. countries that are advanced in the world like great britain and germany, it's not like they elect a party and the party chooses their representative generally, and that way they get things done. this filibuster issue over here, it's way out of control. they did use the filibuster in the past year, but they were issues of national importance, not senate record and a year and a half of filibusters. that's just outrageous. any constitution that does say that the president shall break a tie when there's a tie in the senate, that's never going to happen, because republicans don't believe in the constitution. they only believe in it when they want to believe in it. those filibusters -- things of national importance, when you were dealing with people like hitler, you know? but they want to call our president a socialist. it's ridiculous. there's no socialism here. host: dell, we're going to leave it there.
