Harken back to the days of Bill Frist, Rick Santorum, Karl Rove and Right Wing Judges, when the United States Senate Filibuster was nearly destroyed in an authoritarian parliamentary maneuver that recalled that last days of the Roman Republic. As thirteen Senators from both sides of the aisle came forward to stand as wall against the on rushing waters of dictators, the filibuster was saved at least in a very public manner. Somewhere Andrew Jackson smiled and spoke again, "One man with courage makes a majority," and Jimmy Stewart's estate received a royalty check.
But today in the New York Times, the REPUBLICAN PARTY, these same REPUBLICANS that WERE ON RECORD TO VOTE TO ABOLISH THE FILIBUSTER are NOW THE SAME REPUBLICANS USING THE FILIBUSTER TO BLOCK THE RESOLUTION TO FORCE THE PRESIDENT TO END HIS FOOLISH ESCAPADES IN IRAQ WITH 50,000 NEW TROOPS.
In a democracy, you must establish the rules of governance, obey those rules, tamper with those rules ever so carefully and with great majority consent, and never forget that money and democracy never mix.
GOD BLESS THE U.S. SENATE FILIBUSTER & DEMOCRACY
...KEEP THE MONEY GRABBERS OUT!
