The Republican Fillibuster
We've all seen that they'll huddle together and ignore away anything that would slow down their American Monopoly. This stonewalling is a fillibuster, across all events, across all context. DeLay back in power, DSM going away, can't catch Bin Laden, gas companies holding us in The Company Store, rising Kristian domination...

They're going to out-stonewall us unless we figure out a tangent to their behavioural fillibuster.

1. It's not a filibuster.
It is the actions of the majority party. They have every right to do things their way. That is why it is so vitally important that we regain control of congress in November.

2. They have NO RIGHT to spy on US
They have NO right to start wars of aggression
They have NO right to steal our elections
They have NO right blackmail our representatives
They have NO right to LIE to us and the world
They have NO right to be Homo erotic war mongering psychopaths in our name.

That is why it is so vitally important that we regain control of congress in November. AND BRING THEM TO JUSTICE

3. the Republican Filibuster is a winner..
when will leaders in our party begin to understand this? The more Democrats compromise with congressional Repukes, the more useless our party appears to voters. When Republicans filibustered Clinton's healthcare plan, it wasn't just because Republicans were against healthcare reform...it was because voters were sick of having a failed party in the majority!

If Democrats don't start some kind of Congressional logjam to stop this king from getting his way, then why have another party?
