Filibuster winners and losers [View All]

[yankeedem]

WINNERS

Harry Reid--- won the publicity war tonight by rushing to the press and praising this deal, while painting Frist as radical (he said the word tonight).

John McCain--- Sticks it up * ass without really hurting the party's goal of putting fascists on the bench. Looks to middle America like a centrist, despite voting in lockstep with the neocon agenda.

Lindsay Graham--- See above

LOSERS

Bill Frist---- Looks neutered to his base, and when I say base, I mean Dobson. Loses points in the White House by not being able to keep McCain in line.

America--- Fascist judges march to the federal bench without a whimper- unless the pukes have agreed to vote down these judges--- and who really believes that will happen?

Centrist Democrats--- By agreeing not to support filibusters, the bar has moved right as far as "extraordinary circumstances". The question is where has the bar moved to? Ultimately, the pukes will hold the cards.

Part of me wants to say that if Frist, Freepers and Insanity are mad, we must have won. Sorry, can't get behind that unless the puke "moderates" vote against Brown and Owen.
