Democrats start out with very popular programs, with solid public  support then lose them in the smoke screen, or to get them pass the GOP filibuster,  compromise them to the point (example the lousy Senate Health Reform Bill) where support fades away. Finally, the Democrats seem to have come up with a strategy to put the onus for the failure of Congress to pass popular  programs, which will address some of the pressing problems in the country, squarely where it belongs on the GOP, the Party of No. The Party of No claims it wants bipartisanship, wants the Democrats to propose modest, less ambitious measures.

 Democrats  led by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will call for a vote on a modest job bill, on measures to extend unemployment benefits, to provide assistance to small business, to remove  the antitrust exemption for insurance companies, and to place new fees on Wall Street bank.     

Republicans will  either have to vote on these measures or to filibuster. The GOP has been receiving vault loads of cash from the insurance companies and the banks.  If the GOP chooses to filibuster these popular  measures, their hypocrisy and obstruction will be clear for all to plainly see.
