If/when Democrats lose the Majority in the Senate do you think they will
behave in the same irresponsible manner as the Republicans by filibustering every single Bill? I somehow think Democrats are better people than that but they are after all politicians so I guess they are capable of any abuse.

1. WTF?
You mean, will they have the backbone to obstruct ever disasterous piece of legislation the R.s try to pass? I hope so, but I doubt it.

3. Hope so, it will be payback
Why would it be wrong for Democrats, if the republicans used this tactic against them?

5. They will be the same old wimps. The Republicans will take
charge and the Democrats will quietly appease as usual.

7. Well if what they did when Bush was
there is any example then no they won't be filibustering much.
If they did though maybe we wouldn't be as bad as we are now. They did block judges and that's how the whole nuclear option thing started. GOP isn't afraid to do what they gotta do to get their stuff passed. Works for them because the dems don't like to be called names.
