You think they’d really do it?
Lord eVader would demand it.
Well, they had better, to show the “old days” of Republicans playing nice and rolling over are DONE.
One thing about the Hillbuzz guys* is that they promised last summer, that if by some miracle Obama won the general election, that they’d make him “pay.” Every day of his term, they would work to thwart anything he tried to do in retaliation for stealing the nomination from HRC. Clearly, they weren’t kidding.
If you go to the site and scroll back, you’ll see they have laid the Democratic playbook wide open, exposed all their tricks and explained to Republicans how to deal with them. They also have chastised us for giving up too easy, which I think is a fair criticism.
*for uninitiated FReepers, Hillbuzz is a site of gay, male, ticked-off moderate Democrats, HRC supporters. After the Dem Convention, the immediately began to campaign for McCain/Palin. They remain HUGE Sarah Palin fans to this day (they started the protests outside CBS against Letterman). They are based in Chicago, so they know these characters up front and personal.
Yep. pretty sure they certainly have the power, and they seem to have sold their soul.
[You think they’d really do it?]
They have to do it. It sets up a Constitutional crisis if the health care vote is rammed through with a senator elected but not seated. Especially since the oh-so-smart Dems wanted this election to push the stoodge Coakley in place in time to vote.
