Filibuster fight getting personal

April 16, 2005

By Scott Shepard Cox News Service

WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee is gearing up to end judicial filibusters, joining forces with professional Republican image-makers and prominent Christian organizations comparing Democrats to racial segregationists of the 1960s.

Under pressure from within the GOP's conservative political base to counter Democratic PR successes in the fight over the filibuster, Frist is bringing on former Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie to help refine the GOP's message.

1. Frist needs to be exposed for his 'desperate' lies..

2. "He should not have to choose."

There it is, folks. In the new 'Murika thinking is not necessary. You do not have to choose. That's all done for you. There is no reason to think for yourself. You only have to think what we tell you. :scared:

Jeebus, these people are insane. And the fact that they're at the helm of our once great republic is very disturbing. :crazy:


I'll repeat my mantra: Dominionsts are the most dangerous threat to democracy before us today.

3. Well, the end of the senate as we knew it is nigh.

The filibuster is one of the things that make a two party system workable.

It was bound to happen I suppose. A two party system is bound to create pluralities that can be used to create rule changes to enforce the tyranny of the slim majority. Until now most senators respected the concept of protections of the minority.

In this system there will be a winning and a losing party and the party with the plurality is already writing its own version of history.

No fabrication will be too unbelievable to be incorporated. Ending the filibuster to stop the religious-segregationists is just the beginning.
