Reply #49: I say we play the Republican game.

[Crunchy Frog]

The Republicans never would have tolerated anyone going after the fillibuster when they were in the minority, and we shouldn't either. Once we get a majority though (if that ever happens) then we should go after the fillibuster like gangbusters and pull out all the stops to end it.

I'm getting really tired of the Democrats trying to play fair, while the Republicans play for keeps, and for power at all costs.

They've been playing hardball for decades. It's time that we play a little hardball of our own, or risk virtual political extinction.

I apologize for this post. I'm feeling just a little bit cynical right now.
