In fact, make them filibuster. The Senate doesn't require 60 votes to pass legislation. If the RWers want to filibuster, make them do it. In fact, use the footage of them reading out of phonebooks as commercials in their home districts when they're up for re-election. Maybe we could also use footage of many of those RW douchebags threatening the "nuclear option" back in the old days of 2005.

They've already committed themselves to voting NO on everything. Make them work for that "no" vote, and force them to filibuster. Why is that a bad idea?

Be careful what you wish for DUmmy. If the GOP were to do so and showed the country they have a spine even if Reid wins in nov he will lose his job as majority leader.

4. Yup. Make them read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights while they are at it.
   
I don't think Republicans have ever really read either. It might serve as a chance to educate those idiots. :thumbsup:

Good idea that way we can show the people what the dems are trying is unconstitutional. You goons may even learn a thing or 2 but, I doubt it.

I wish I could believe the GOP would really do a filibuster.

Yeah, maybe they'll find that "right" to health care and for the government to FORCE people to buy insurance in there.

I like this DUmmies idea...only have the Rep read the actual bill they're supposed to vote on.

Great idea!

Why not enter the entire 2,770 page (the Reid bill and codiciles) Health Care Reform bill into the Congressional record to show the death panels, the Louisiana Purchase, the Cornhusker Kickback,
the Bernie Sanders shakedown, the Dodd deposits, the numerous new federal departments, the unfettered access to all of your personal information by any one in government and the unauditable
access to your banking,savings, and retirement monies, all for the common good?

I'd buy that for a dollar

Yeah, right. If the femocRATs try to go for the so called nuclear option, with the majority of Americans opposed to Obamacare, then all Hell will break loose.
