I'm sure the wicked witch of the east has her slimy hands in this as well.

[ken5050]

The idea, and image, of Sen Byrd filabustering AGAINST Pickering because Pickering is supposedly racist....well, it just warms the cockles of my heart...

[TLBSHOW]

Boy, you'd think from the Democratic Party uproar that Pickering had once held a high-ranking postition in the KKK.


That would be that democrat Byrd fellow that was in the KKK
and now is being protested because he is a racist rat!

[nicmarlo]

Yep...when's he up fer reelection?!

2004, I believe

[FreeTheHostages]

Yeah, that's what I'm guessing too.

[Mudboy Slim]

I'll see yer "THWOP"s and raise you three "THWHAAAAACK!!"s, my FRiend...

THWHAAAAACK!! THWHAAAAACK!! THWHAAAAACK!!

That's Gotta Hurt...MUD

[Marysecretary]

Ah, Mud, you have such a nice way of saying things...smile.

[FreeTheHostages]

(Didn't get much sleep last night. I'm kinda out of it today.)

Yes, I see you've been exposed to Adolph's notoriously-evil twin brother...MUD

WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness - That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government COURT(S) becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it Impeach Federal Judges, and to institute APPOINT new Government JUDEGE(S), laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments COURT(S) long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government COURT(S), and to provide new Guards for their future Security. Such has been the patient Sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the Necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government COURT(S). The History of the present King of Great-Britain is a History U.S. Supreme Courtof repeated Injuries and Usurpations, all having in direct Object the Establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid World

[pgkdan]

Let him. As long as W doesn't give in we'll win. Let them fillibuster as long as they want...they'll only wind up hurtng themselves. The democrats are really overplaying the race card and are going to get hurt big time by the backlash that's building.

[nutmeg]

Schmuck Schumer alert!

[BibChr]

Gosh, is this Clueless Wednesday? I'm not "mixing up" anything any more than Mud was mixing up Schumer and Byrd. It's the PARTY we're talking about.

Dan

[Marysecretary]

Underwhelming is right. He's done NADA for upper NY State.

[pgkdan]

Word around here is that Peter King is talking about running for it

Big improvement there. </ sarcasm>

[BibChr]

Oops, I should have said Snake65 instead of Mud. Touch of cluenessness over here, too.

Dan

[monocle]

It is my understanding there is an agreement that an actual filibuster does not have to be a continuual talkfest, it is also my understanding that this agreement can be easily rescinded. I would hope that Frist would rescind this agreement and force Schumer to literally conduct a filibuster because such a filibuster would be living proof of the obstructionistic nature of the Democrats.

[FreeTheHostages]

LOL.

I'm so sleepy today they should take away my license to post.

Please ignore me! I understand now.

[Mudboy Slim]

"Are you saying Schumer called NYC "H-town" too?"

I have no evidence, but you know how those Lib'ral RATS are all the same...MUD
