And we have a record!!!!!
Last night, the Roadblock Republicans accomplished a feat no ordinary group of obstructionists could have pulled off. No, it takes a special brand of legislator to actually break the Roadblock record in less than half the time of the previous record. Only a group with a near-pathological disregard for the actual health of our democracy, only a group with a single-minded focus on the cynical political strategies of their consultants, only a group with a imperious disdain for the people of the country could’ve pulled off such a feat.
So, congratulations go out to the Roadblock Republicans. They have etched their names in the history books forever.
And let’s just remember what is really being blocked:
A new course in Iraq: BLOCKED
A new energy future: BLOCKED
More health care for kids: BLOCKED
Help for people affected by the mortgage meltdown: BLOCKED
