This deal made it IMPOSSIBLE for Repukes to end fillibuster

[Proud2BAmurkin]

Both sides say they averted a disaster and the DISASTER in question was the nuke option.

1. I am doing a victory dance! WOO HOO!!!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

The radicals are pissing themselves! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

BUSH, CHENEY AND FRIST ARE SCROOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!

2. Pyrrhic (sp?) victory

IMHO. But now, what about that Downing Street memo?

[wurzel]

4. maybe that was part of the "deal" too! n/t

[longship]

3. I agree, but

I agree that they will never be able to pull that trigger again. If they do, the Republican 7 will not go for it. Frist now *knows* that there isn't a majority in the Senate for blatant, illegal power grabs. That's very good.

Unfortunately, the Repugs will probably win all their radical judge nominations. That's not good!

But Bush doesn't yet have the ability to rule by decree, so maybe this is somewhat of a win for the Dems.

5. That's how I am seeing it too

6. Whoppee!! We just seated 3 fascists on the bench!! More to come!!

All they have to do is say that the Dems are abusing the agreement anytime they use it. Which the "moderates" won't use anyway as shown by their "agreement" to let 3 rightwingers in without a fight.

7. Reid on C-Span now...live...talking about the deal

He sayd he is happy as a lark...will be able to sleep tonight for the first time in months.

Says that we won but no gloating.

8. I don't think so.....When Frist spoke, he said the nuclear option

is still an option for him to use if the dems abuse the fillabuster again. So why is that a good deal?
