Senator Alexander: the majority must bow to the will of the minority
That's how we arrive at a consensus.

1. Just like they did when they were the majority?
FFS, they turned the lights off during meetings, made them meet in broom closets...I'm sick and tired of hearing that regardless of being majority/minority, it's ALWAYS going to be their way.
Fuck 'em and Feed 'em fishheads.

3. He's not explicitly mentioning majorities and majorities
He just emphasizing the need for a consensus, which means doing things his way.

2. I live in Tennessee. Alexander is full of it. As Governor he gutted
the education system here. He was so hated that he moved to Australia for a while.

5. How dare you disagree with Alexander.
We need consensus.

That means we must agree with Alexander.

8. Yep, Lint Head, you are soooo right!
Moved to Aussyland under the guise of writing a book. We STILL haven't recovered from his attack on education.... may not ever.

He was a major player in the "dumbing down of America" & he did an excellent job in that.

Between him & Sundquist, it's amazing we have an education system left in TN.

10. Pretty please, Your Highness
Let's just ask * nicely if he wouldn't mind reading the Iraq Study Group Report this year and maybe, possibly, tentatively consider thinking about it--if it wouldn't bother him too, too much.
