Red State Filibuster analysis
I keep a feed open to many right wing hate groups on the internet so I can keep up with what the Republican party is thinking and planning. The Red State folks are some of the most vile animals I've ever come across, but their vile nature is only matched by their stupidity. No I'm not going to link to a hate group website directly, luckily Markos was making fun of it so I'm just going to link to his site instead.
Anyway the basic math the fool gets correct. The Democrats basically have no choice but to Filibuster. It's required philosophically because Alito is so wrong for the Supreme Court and it's required to resist the Republican tyranny that that has become readily apparent to the country. If the Democrats do nothing then they have nothing to offer the America people in the way of change. If you let bullies run over you, you deserve what you get. And the Republican party is nothing more than a bunch of blowhard bullies.
Now I'm going to quote the moron because this is when he loses total grasp on reality. "[B]y calling for a filibuster anyway, he doesn't risk losing the filibuster as a future tool in the judicial battles". Just the tone tells you he's a retarded Republican. It's interesting how he assumes that the Democrats will never have a majority of the vote again. If it only takes 50 votes for the Republicans change the Senate rules then it will only take 50 votes for the Democrats to put them back. This isn't rocket science. But this is the myth that these morons think they can sell to the American people. Forcing the Republicans to use the Nuclear option removes all doubt from the American people's minds that the Republican party is a group of criminal warlords and not elected officials anymore. Reid has to force their hand. It's time for all the Republican's voting records to move to the surface folks. It's time for everyone to see what kind of worthless slime they really are. We can impeach Alito off the bench later, or we can change the laws so the Supreme Court can't rule on cases, all the Republican options that they've been kicking around for years and have never been able to get over their cowardice to actually execute.
It's time for battle folks. It's time for the Democrats to slow down the Senate, I mean if Republicans have become such experts on the "rules" it's time that the Democrats start following them to the letter. It's time to end this politeness and time for the American people to be represented by real Americans and not these miserable cowards in the Republican party. It's time for Americans to stand up against the cancer in our body politics and crush it once and for all.
