Reply #20: It could also be that the Dems just don't want the publicity right now... [View All]

As long as there's no filibuster, there's no opposition to a filibuster either. Right now, we are the only one's calling. If this were all over the news, the right-wing nutjobs would be given time off work so they could call every Senator 20 times under different names to put pressure on the Republicans.

By the time the vote rolls around, it'll be too late for the Republicans to phoney up enough mock outrage to stop the first round. While the Republicans are sitting around thinking it's all over, we're generating a hurricane. By keeping it silent, they've let the huricane gain speed over warm water. When it finally hit's land it's going to be a Cat 5 Hurricane versus the Nuclear Option. I'm sort of interested to find out which one will win.

It's kind of like that Knight Rider episode where Michael and Kit take on Golaith, two indestrucble vehicles on a crash co.... I'm gonna shut up now.
