About all this filibustering going on lately
Do you remember when the Democrats were in the minority and there was even just a suspicion that they might filibuster, the press was all over them, saying what a big deal it would be... hadn't been done in years... and now the Republicans do it, practically on a daily basis, and the media doesn't even mention it?

Is it just me, or do the media really think that people are that stupid, that they won't notice this crap? It was THEM telling us how bad filibustering was back then, and now they don't even call it filibustering. It's just 'debating the bill.'

It seems so blatant... maybe they just stopped caring if people notice it anymore; they just do it "in your face" bias and hope that enough people are just stupid enough to watch their crap and give it any credibility.

1. You're so right! Remember when in the minority, we were obstructionists?
