WE WANT FILIBUSTER!
Edited on Wed Jan-25-06 07:56 PM by CrackpotAmerica

SWEET JESUS ON A UNICYCLE:

WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR OUR DEMS TO ABANDON THEIR FEARS....

If it gets nuclear, then SO BE IT.

I guarantee you, over 90 percent of the Democratic constituency wants a filibuster.

GEEZ!!!!!!!

On Edit: Yeah, Yeah I made up the 90% thingie.. I believe that a good majority of democratic voters want a filibuster.. Just trying to bring a burst of optimism into an otherwise crappy day :)

For the Dems that are paying attention, I don't think the 90% is too much of an exaggeration.

14. it's a damn good guess if we are talking about active Democrats.
I have yet to meet a live, in person Democrat who is not for a good fight for once.

The only anti-filibuster DEMs I ever talk to are on DU.

18. Dumb Ass Dems!
Don't they realize that their roll over on Alito is only going to demoralize their base.
Man oh Man, that's the last fucking thing we need this year when there WAS hope
of winning at least on of the houses of Congress.

I can't take it! It's killing me!!!!

19. One thing is for sure, at least we will know where we're at:
Not knowing is really hard.

I really hope that they go through with it. If they don't, we'll have to figure out what to do about it.

21. I faxed every Dem Senator a Filibuster pep note
Posted this in another thread this evening.

Be supportive.

33. congress.org is a good resource -- lists contact info, staffers. . .
. . .and it doesn't hurt to ask for a specific person (e.g., Judiciary Legislative Aide)

For example, the Congress.org entry for Salazar lists Felicia Escobar as his Judiciary LA.

32. I'm with you...
If the Alito 8 won't stand firm on a Filibuster then they must be bought off. Too many big money donors. It's time for a REAL house cleaning.
