Personally, I don't care about the votes. I'd rather try and lose than never try at all. That shows conviction.
Maybe. But if he carries this through to fruition we'll at least know he's got more backbone than Trent Lott and that throwing Lott overboard when we had the chance was the right thing to do.
Sen. Co-chairs would never have the stones to do this.
Do you have a link for this??
You're wrong about Lott and you're dead wrong about Frist. Frist has been a spineless "leader" and if he pulls this off ( which he had better do ! ), that still won't make him a viable presidential candidate in '08.
According to what I heard 6 (moderate) Dems & Pubs still might make a deal & bypass everyone else :-(

I did not know that Lieberman was going to vote to break the filibuster. Are you sure? I mean where did you hear or read it ?
That's one heck of a prayer...lol. It is a prayer, right?
You can't make a great thread without BREAKINH a few eggs.
Bump!
Absolutely that's a prayer. THAT would be God blessing America--and America blessing God.
Agree with me in that prayer?
I'm looking forward to it and looking forward to watching the spectacle with like-minded FReepers. I really don't see a down-side. The House nixed the filibuster many years ago and hardly anyone even noticed.
That seemed to be the case before Osama Obama parachuted onto the stage to grab the spotlight.
[that was hard to do!]
What makes you think that the DemoRats would not move to change the filibuster rule if the republicans in the future should attempt the kind of filibuster tactics that they have been engaging in. You might say, "Oh, they would not do that because it would be hypocritical". What a laugh. The demoRats are a party of hypocrisy. It was the liberal left of the demoRat Party together with republicans that changed the filibuster rules in the 60s so that it took only 60 votes to stop them instead of 67. They have absolutely no regard for the right of filibuster one way or another. It just depends on who is using the tactic at the time. I rather like the ability to filibuster but not for an unlimited period of time. It is anti-democratic to be able to overturn the will of the majority simply thru unlimited obstruction techniques. Of course, if the left would enshrine the ability to engage in unlimited senate debate in the constitution so that they could never change it when they so chose, I would have no objection. Forty one conservative senators could stop all leftist appointments in perpetuity. Not to worry, the left does not want that.
read at home tonight bump!
Stellar,
Anyway you can repost that postcard image again?
Thanks!
The order has come down—sterilization by thermonuclear device.
Thanks! I forgot to save it the first time I saw it.
I love that. Cracks me up!
