I LOVE THIS SHIT!!!!

[mikelewis]

There is no sport better than politics. Isn't your blood pumping? Can't you feel it? The excitement, the intensity! Man, this is such a rush. Will they filibuster? Will they fold? This guy jumped ship, this guys a hero! AHHHHHH!!!! Man, it's great to be an American!

[Nutmegger]

1. I know, I'm loving it too! n-t

[Midlodemocrat]

2. No kidding.

Calling all these senators has been HUGH!!!11!!!!.

[LSparkle]

3. They WILL filibuster!!! Game ON!

I am SOOO with you -- nothing is better than this. Even if we go down, we're going to go down FIGHTING BACK!!!!

Clean your clock, my ass! Make my day, FINE! As Randi said yesterday ... KISS MY CAUCUS! WE'RE GONNA MINORITY WHIP YOUR ASSES!

[mom cat]

Can I have some of what you are smoking?

I'm a wreck!

Keep working at it.

[linazelle]

9. LOL. nt

[Suziq]

21. I'm With You

I am a nervous wreck!

[DoYouEverWonder]

4. Kerry just announced

he's going for a FILIBUSTER! Yahoo!!!

[joanski0]

5. Carper just said that he's voting AGAINST.

That's a "No".

[jonnyblitz]

6. I am not excited because I feel I know what the outcome will be

but usually politics does make my heart beat faster, like presidential elections and such. I figure I know how today will turn out so i have resigned myself to that.

[lies and propaganda]

7. Exactly!

I screamed "YES!" like it was a game winning TD!

[leftstreet]

8. 1-888-818-6641 Switchboard - Call the Senators

[Fridays Child]

10. Call back, when they filibuster.

Until then, I'm not excited--just pissed.

[budkin]

11. How exactly are we going to fillibuster

When they have the 60 votes to shut it down?

[mom cat]

13. They don't have the 60 votes yet...keep calling

[kentuck]

12. It's better than the Super Bowl...

:) And the prize is of much greater value.

[applegrove]

14. I don't think people suffering is fun. Trying to get power away from

elites who have no conscience is not fun. It is sad and hard and work and rarely fruitfull at this point. But democracy is all we have.

[donheld]

15. I fail to see it as a game

The life of our country and our future is at stake. Maybe it is a sport, but the stakes are just way too high.

[radio4progressives]

16. this isn't a political game for me... this issue goes to the soul of our

nation.

and I don't love the fact that, the ability to resolve the current Constitution Crises, rests on whether or not the presidents high crimes and misdeamors will be dismissed by a rubber stamp court, once Alito is seated.

so no, i don't love this shit at all. And right now, it doesn't feel so good to be American under the rule of Neo Fascists, with a stupid fucking electorate who doesn't even fucking realize it.

[Kurovski]

17. I don't enjoy it.

I don't follow sports, either.

I'm a dud. :-)

[drm604]

18. Not fun.

Painful and nerve-wracking.

[neweurope]

19. I don't understand... why is it great to be an American?

I can understand your excitement, but there's been politics since the first tribes roaming Africa. There's still politics all over the world.

Sometimes I wonder, I really do.

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[New Earth]

20. hahaha

just like what i say. on my myspace profile, i say 'politics to me are like what sports are to some....'

yes, blood pumping, eyes tearing - either that or cursing under my breath at work while i read DU

:shrug: :blush:

[Just Me]

22. Um, I think it's an oppressive pain in the ass,....and stressful as hell.

:shrug: But, heck, that's just me.

[Skidmore]

23. Makes me nauseous and gives me hives.
