I can't believe they're bragging about this.

I can't believe the democrats are bragging about more or less giving up the filibuster. And for what? Something as substantial as a handful of dust in the middle of a tornado.

[shadowknows69]

1. uh.. what?

[Piperay]

2. Well that is NOTHING

to brag about! :mad:

[JanMichael]

3. Me too, it's atrocious!

Bastards!

[gizmo1979]

4. I take it you mean the filibuster

If so ,they are practically breaking their arms patting themselves on the backs.Doesn't sound much like a compromise to me.Sounds like we got sold down the river again.Who is that woman?

7. mass confusion has struck the DU

spinning this as "Frist is TOAST!"... what because Chris Matthews just said that on MSNBC?... they are talking about something 4 years from now...

The republicans are getting what they want... we might as well lost the fillibuster. I'd rather lose fighting...

5. You are so wrong it's incredible

Democratic activists just toasted Frist's ass, tout suite.

[jojo54]

6. How?

just asking?

[cornermouse]

8. No. They didn't.

Frist's followers will still vote for him.

IMO, the people you just saw are hoping to become, at the least, the power brokers for the next presidential election, some of them may have aspirations to be our next candidate.

[jojo54]

9. Yeah, Frist is one of them

and he'll probably try to take all the credit for getting this deal done.

[gizmo1979]

10. What did we gain?

Nothing absoulutely nothing!You have to make them play their hand.You may lose the battle but we're winning the war!Their approval rating is in the low thirtys make them slit their own throats!

[bpilgrim]

11. and we get 3 extremest judges

to boot... you should be celebrating :evilgrin:
