From 2007 to 2011, Republican filibusters increased 10fold

[krispos42]

grinding the US Senate and the 310 million people it represents to a virtual halt. Over four hundred useful and vital pieces of legislation that the House passed died in the Senate simply because the Senate moved too slowly to stop them. Many of those billed passed with significant to overwhelming majorities.

Now, can you imagine the ABSOLUTE MEDIA SHITSTORM that would have occurred if Harry Reid and the Democrats:

Sent US Marshals to filibustering Republicans' homes?

Openly colluded with George Soros to plant fake teabaggers in Capitol protests?

Issued arrest warrants for filibustering Republicans?

Withheld paychecks for filibustering Republicans?

Denied the staff of filibustering Republicans access to office machinery?

Held votes in which filibustering Republicans were not allowed to vote?


OH MY GOD, THE WORLD WOULD HAVE ENDED!!! Things would be "shoved down our throats" by "liberal brownshirts", etc.


:sigh:
