Republican Filibustering
---

It is my understanding that since '06 the Republicans in Congress have performed a record number of Filibustering.

Is this true, and if so, why isn't it well known considering all the fuss made when Dems do it?

1. The media is complicet.. they suck and they don't deliver the news the way
it should and desperately needs to be delivered.. instead, they focus on horse races, polls, and missing blondes.. oh and the occassional starlette who "forgot" to wear underware.

3. Since when have Democrats stopped going on live tv?
Republicans spew out crap about Congress not doing anything, yet the Democrat just sits there and says nothing about Republican filibusters.

2. When the Senate is in secession
Edited on Sat Aug-30-08 09:47 AM by vpilot
I usually have my TV tuned to C-Span switching between the Senate and House to try and keep up with what issue they are working on. Yes, it is true that the Reptilians have recorded a record number of filibusters, they are up around 100 so far this secession and not only that but they are also putting secret holds and using other Parliamentary maneuvers to kill legislation that they don't like. Its not hard to figure why the "liberal" (snark) media pays so little attention to the Reptilian obstructionism afflicting the Senate proceedings, political bias, plain and simple.
