More Hardball: Smoke Out Senate to Find the Secret Hold
Since the Democratic Party likes to wait to take a stand on a issue till there is no possible way they can take political advantage, I would like to point out that the Democratic Caucus should shut the mother fucking Senate the hell down until the Secret Hold on the Pork Barrel Accountability Act is released, and that the Senator responsible be made to pay for his one man filibuster.

And if he is a Democrat, well, get him a spot on the pine with Lieberman because I am tired of this party acting like a knuckleheaded junior varsity squad at a model UN. It has gotten that sad.

know the Senate Rules, which aren't protected by the Constitution, but are more gentlemens' agreements made in smoke filled back room. But a "secret hold"? What the fuck is that? If I am reading correctly how the whole shitbag parliamentary maneuver went down, this is in effect a one man filibuster and that there is no option for cloture. That is some serious stuff, where one man, or woman, can stop the entire will of the nation to make our government accountable to us.

So shut the mother fucker down, and set fire to the parliamentary system until this snake is smoked out of the grass. Not tomorrow, not next week, not on Sunday so you trot you old tired bullshitting ass out on the talk shows and give them a wag of the finger. DO THIS SHIT NOW. GROW SOME GOD DAMN BALLS

(A dandy rant on Dailykos! Worth the read)
