We say we lost, They say we won!

[WLKjr]

Now I want all this BS to stop and lets wait this out a little longer. Be patient.

1. Reid ROCKS!

What a guy.

[WLKjr]

3. I havent even began to digest this all and

I have seen some posters blow thier stacks over this. I believe we gained some ground today by showing just how extreme these pukes are.

[Pacifist Patriot]

2. Who says we lost?

Bull!

They blinked and there is no way around it. I've seen the naysayer threads and I think they are wasting a valuable opportunity. So cut it out!

The Republicans held a majority in congress and still couldn't get the nuclear option passed. The fact that they agreed to a settlement instead of forcing it to a vote means they didn't have the votes and they knew it.

The Democrats have retained the right to fillibuster future nominees and "extreme circumstances" translates directly into "Supreme Court nominees."

The Freepers are Right and the naysaying DUers are wrong. We won! Get used to it folks. Stop believing you are losers and start acting like winners.

[WLKjr]

4. thier are posts all over the GD board, GDP board, etc

people are blowing thier stacks saying we were sold down the river again.

[Pacifist Patriot]

9. I know. I said I've seen them.

I think they are wrong. Damn, are Dems this used to being losers they can't exploit a win when it happens? The Republicans blinked. Now is the time to push!

[WLKjr]

17. I ran into a few people talking defeatist election night 2004 before

teh damn polls even closed in teh first state. Told me they wish they had my optimisim. It's all about being defiant, you get knocked down aand you get up again. That is how it goes.

[Pacifist Patriot]

22. Call me "weeble wobble."

[jojo54]

15. but weren't we sold down the river?

Playing devil's advocate here, but there shouldn't have been a deal at all. Commander Cuckoo Bananas is the one who won here....he's gonna get almost everything that he wants now, including change with the voting system - just in time for the '06 House and Senate elections! That will hurt bad.......

[cry baby]

20. I'm not going to get on those threads...

because I believe this is a win for us. We are still free to filibuster the worst of these nominees and supreme court judges if we wish.

Definitely a win!

[merh]

16. Amen!

This is better than we could have hoped for had it gone to a vote.

They blinked - Frist didn't get his nuklar option.

We won!

[WLKjr]

21. Frist showed his ass by pandering to the religious right

That is my two cents on that. This is what happens when you play with fire (fundamentalists and neocons)

[merh]

34. Up and Down, Up and Down

I think Frist is down! :evilgrin:

[alarimer]

26. I hope you are right

I want to believe this. I guess it depends on the definition of "extraordinary circumstances" with regard to Supreme Court nominees. If we get to define it, that may be okay but if not, this basically means they can't filibuster anyone uless they are a child-rapist or something.

[Pacifist Patriot]

29. Nope. It means Supreme Court.

It's all about perception. Start acting and talking victorious and you're the victor. Watch. Both sides are going to be claiming victory. The last one to be heard is the one who will be right. Don't get suckered into the pessimism.

[Cocoa]

5. they both lost

the people on FR, and the people here, who demand their side fight all battles to the death, all lost.

[alcibiades_mystery]

8. Nicely done

Good post.

[Just Me]

6. WE DID WIN!!!! BUSH/CHENEY/FRIST ARE F*CKED!!!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[WLKjr]

11. I wish some others shared your enthusiasm n/t

[Just Me]

18. We KEEP the filibuster while the radical right-wing gets SCREWED!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I am lapping it up!!!!

Ew,...ya' just know the radicals are pissin' all over themselves, stomping, screamin' and fumin'!!!!

Hell, we get to filibuster anyone anytime we believe there are "exceptional circumstances"!!!!

HOW GREAT IS THAT!!!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[WLKjr]

27. That is exactly the fact that everyone should be thinking

we got to keep the filibuster, while at teh same time pissing in Bill Frist's wheaties.

[WLKjr]

7. See here is my point

To: Baynative
Well the good news is that DU is fuming.

Check out this post. (WARNING BAD LANGUAGE)

They are jerking off to this I bet.....

[Senator Lamb]

10. Linday Graham

not exactly your moderate said that Republicans would vote against some Nominees and Nelson said some will still be fillbustered! please stop the defeatist attitude. just cause Joe was involved didnt mean we lost. we won.

[WLKjr]

13. exactly, even though I wish

joe had nothing to do with this whole deal process. But that is besides the point.

[jojo54]

19. Hey, you used my reply!

Sorry for the bad language tho. I'm just so disheartened by all this. I really don't think it's a win situation for Dems. See my other reply above.

[WLKjr]

23. correction, tehre

THEY used your reply (unless you are a lurker on FR?) I just copied and posted it. ;)

[jojo54]

31. Sorry, didn't realize you meant FR

Eeewwww, I'm the last person to be associated with that website. My family pokes fun at me for getting so upset with what's going on, although they all voted for Kerry too.

I HAVE gone onto FR to see what they're talking about. Someone called us (here at DU) neanderthals!!!....and all this time, I thought it was the freeps who wants us to go back in time!

[WLKjr]

32. up is down and right is left to FR

they are bassackwards on that site.

[Guaranteed]

12. Either way we better start declaring victory pretty quick here. nt

[WLKjr]

14. declare victory and move on to the next thing on the list.

[Pacifist Patriot]

25. I do think it's a victory, but even those who don't should DECLARE!

Politics is about perception. And people like to associate with the victor. ;)

[Piperay]

24. They like playing V-I-C-T-I-M

even when they win. :puke:

[WLKjr]

28. But this time they didn't and they are still playing victim. n/t

[ToeBot]

30. The day I see a nominee rejected...

...I'll concede victory. I'm not holding my breath though.

[iconoclastic cat]

33. Emulating to that old cliche, "Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory"?

I hate seen DUers live out cliches of any kind.
