THE FILIBUSTER IS EXTINCT!

[boston bean]

Here ye, Here ye, One and All.

If democrats can't use it because of the nuclear option or any other pitious argument, it is already gone, kaput!

I know the Democrats find enough reasons not to use it. Well who can?

The Republicans!

These so called democrats are really pissing me off right now!

I don't give a damn how many will vote NO. I want a FILIBUSTER.

Answer to all you people who want the same thing, don't give it a second thought, the FILIBUSTER is already dead, extinct.





I hope I'm wrong.......

1. No, it's in fine shape

You don't think the Republicans could maintain a filibuster if they needed to?

Naw, they could.

Harry Reid has compromised the notion of Democrats having the spine even to attempt a filibuster when he dropped to his knees at Frist's threat of a "nuclear option," which was always a fiction.

Now, the Democrats are standing on their own dicks, wondering where that pain is coming from.

No leadership - no agenda - no backbone. I'm sick of the Democrats in Congress, save for Jack Murtha - who stood alone.
