Let's get something straight about this "End the filibuster cr@p"
 Edited on Thu Nov-04-10 08:18 AM by FBaggins
Do you love your kids? Your grandkids?

Republicans will control the senate for MANY of the next 50 years. It's an unavoidable byproduct of any legislative body that gives Wyoming and Kansas the same number of senators as New York and California. There are simply too many small deep-red states. The filibuster is an absolutely necessary defense of the minority against the tyranny of the majority. And we WILL be the minority at some point. Tuesday should have made that clear.

It sucks to lose elections and it sucks to lose bills that have majority support.

It sucks more to lose your country.

Commies? Nahhhh.....

Sorry, I'll take my chances. The tyranny of the minority seems far worse.

www.fixcongressfirst.org - Politicians should work for the people, not special interests. Tell your representatives to suppport the Fair Elections Now Act.


The next year or two is gonna be so much fun!

More deep thinking from a DUchebag.

I would retort with: CT, MD, NH, and RI....maybe WV.

You really do have to scratch your head why the DUmbasses are not running fortune 100 companies.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years.  The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

This is the same crowd that is DYING to give Eleanor Holmes-Norton a regular voting member status in Congress too.
