I like it. They are going to need some focused group tested sales points on why these items are bad to convince the public, and some carefully written polls to throw the press.
The fillibuster is the MOST effective when it is used to hold up a bill long enough that it becomes unpopular. You can see this with the UAW bailout and Pelosi/Reid/Obama trying to find a winning position , now that polls show the public against it. Fillibusters are less effective if they are done against items that stay popular, for whatever reason, because you just loose the next election like 2008. This is because the public wants Washington ‘to get things done’, and the MSM plays that up.
Exactly...and spot on. Thanks for those great comments!
