I know what you are thinking; "Has Ben finally gone around the bend? We lost today. Alito is on the bench to destroy America."
But we did win, and I'll tell you how;
Eight days ago, there was no opposition to Alito whatsoever. No filibuster was planned, and even had one been started, there was not a chance in hell that anybody but the one Senator to propose it would vote against cloture. The Far Right had just had "Justice Sunday" an illegal use of the pulpit to promote a political agenda which they spent millions of dollars on in order to motivate their zombie-like zealots, and it looked like no opposition was even possible.
In that eight days, we worked a miracle; We got the man who was elected President in the last stolen election to declare that he was going to filibuster, and we got MANY (I don't have the final count) Democratic Senators to vote NAY on cloture. We organized a campaign entirely through our resources here on the Internet, and swamped every fax machine and phone line in Washington DC and elsewhere with our message to vote against Alito and against cloture. We have proven that we can motivate and act with little money and few resources a campaign that nearly set the massively funded GOP Fascist Juggernaut on its ear.
And we learned who our friends are; Those Senators, bloggers, and broadcasters who stood by us, or who were honest enough to be convinced by us to support our Cause deserve our praise and unending support in the dark days to come.
As for our enemies; All of the GOP Fascists and those Quislings who voted Aye on cloture, we now know your names. We know your districts, and we will see each and every one of you defeated in turn.
The fight is before us.
It may be a dark and literally deadly struggle for some of us, but it must be fought and fought with the sort of tenacity that I saw in these last blessed days. Let the last week be remembered as the week we first stood as one, and not the last.
In the immortal words of Winston Churchill; never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never-in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
Comrades! Are you with me in the fight to take back America?
GRAPHIC NEEDED:
Someone putting lipstick on a donkey saying now there, that's better.
Quiet in the balconies, please...the melodrama has begun.
Yet, Hitlery & the rest of her ilk continue to campaign in churches. Talk about illegal!
Comrades? Not even trying to hide the commie stuff these days, huh?
Take back America? You poor, stupid child you never, ever, ever had America. I know that the Mainstream Media (MSM) would have you believe otherwise but you are old enough to know: they just lie.
You should also know that just because you don't agree with us that does not make us Fascists. No, that would mean that we denied you your right to free speech & dissent. On the contrary, we welcome your free expression. Talk, please talk - let everyone know what you think. But, you should know that each time you do open up about your beliefs, you loose more seats in Congress and make it more certain that a leftist will never again be our Commander in Chief again.
In closing, as you are reality challenged, I will summarize the last 6 years for you once again:
WE WON!
Suck It!
I'm not sure I follow you, but since I was just horsing around, if I could delete my post, I would.
Oh no, the more people see what LOONS the DUmmies are, the better! :-)
"We didn't fight hard to do the unthinkable before we actually attempted to do the unthinkable."
WTF? what planet is this dude living on?
Yeah, the miracle is they embarrassed themselves even more than before. By snatching humiliation out of the jaws of mere defeat.
And that was before Sheehan got escorted out of the State of the Union address...
Here's my 1-27 political limerick on the fillibuster:
John Kerry called a filbuster
'gainst Alito, but he could muster
much less than 40 votes
so, (unlike the Swift Boats)
no Purple Heart--more like George Custer
Cheers!
Given the Dems' preferences, would that be a "Rainbow Party"?
Take the pun any way you like...
Cheers!
