The Great Filibuster
The Far Right wants to dominate everything and everybody.

Thanks to their fear-mongering and Nazi tactics, they have thrown the true majority of Americans out of power.

There's not much we can do. America IS falling apart at the seams, there is not much we, or anyone else for that matter, can do.

Now it's time for the doom and gloom section of this post.

I can't do anything.

You can't do anything.

DU can't do anything.

John Kerry can't do anything.

Howard Dean can't do anything.

John Conyers can't do anything.

Even Bush has no say in the Far Right plot.

You see, even if our dreams came true and Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Rove, etc. just vanished off the face of the Earth, the Far Right would still be in power. Bush is just a puppet and another puppet Administration would come into power if Bush's puppet Administration failed to serve the Far Right.

That is why we must allow for a Great Filibuster. It will be akin to a Governmental Shutdown except for the fact that the Participants will still be there.

Basically a Great Filibuster will be a Filibuster of just about everything that the Far Right wants.

There's not much we can do. What we can do is delay the 'Bush' Agenda and hopefully stop the Right Wing Revolution.

Did you hear that the Southern Poverty Legal Center recently called the 'christian' Right a Hate Group? Do you want Hate Groups controlling the Government?! That is why we need this barrier between the Far Right and America.

3. You realize we can't do that either, right?
They'll nuke it, remember? Did you miss that entire debate about the nuclear option? Just because it was only discussed regarding judicial nominations, that does not mean it could not be applied to all filibusters if they wanted it to.

6. We ask our people in Congress to this
This is more than Left/Right and Democratic/Republican politics now. There are Hate Groups influencing how America works. If any of them have ANY decency then they will act.
