Can the Rats filibuster indefinitely

---

Good question, but keep in mind a filibuster can be (polictically) dangerous to both sides. If I was a democrat I would be very careful about starting one. We have a popular president. We have troops on their way to put themselves in harm's way. They no longer have 100% of the media to spin their actions. So as Dirty Harry would say, "Do you feel lucky today?"

I can not say for sure, but I suspect a filibuster for any reason would in the end fail, only to make the Democrats looks worse then they do now.

At some point they are going to have to stop doing things that make them look bad (if we are lucky it will not be until after the next election.)

I am a bush basher?

Plus, we don't have Tipper running around taking photos and telling us about her depression.

You'll just never get over that naked picture, will you?

[Wingsofgold]

I think I'm in love. Hehehe. Way ta go Girl. :)

[Howlin]

Whoops.....I meant that for Todd.......so sorry. I'd never mistake you for a Bush basher!

[Howlin]

#360 is for you.

Here is what the President said about Trent after he stepped down.

Yoohoo, Todd. I'm not interested in what George W. Bush had to say about Trent Lott.

Unlike you, I'm perfectly capable of making up my mind about somebody and putting my words into print without cutting and pasting.

: cynicom said this
Certainly none of us voted for Gore

I would hope no one here voted for Gore the commie castro looking rat! :>)

Here's what I remember about filabusters from civics class.

A senator can stop a vote on a bill by filabustering it,(talking it to death). Said senator takes the floor and keeps talking until the senate gives up trying to vote or until the windbag can't go on talking any more.While the senator is talking the senate must stay in sesion and the other senators have to stay in the senate on call ready to vote as soon as the filabustering senator can't go on any longer or a call for cloture is called for. If cloture is called for and 60 votes are garnered, the filabuster stops, and the bill is voted on. If the filabustering senator can't go on, the bill is voted on.

What the lazy pimps we have as senators now do is threaten a filabuster, vote in lock step along party lines so 60 votes cannot be garnered and then the bill is dropped because these no good, over paid, fopish fools don't want to subject themselves to a few hours of unpleasantness, as they might miss a good party or a rendevouz with a mistress.

Or a limo ride and a choice office.

"I became a republican six years ago because of the absolute hatred and envy of the democrats. The people on this site who constantly refer to this man as pig and all sorts of nasty names make me wonder..."

We are on the honor system here, but it would wise to remember anyone can claim to be a conservative and then proceed to make a fool of themselves. If someone gets too out of hand, the moderator will take care of it.

I will not judge you by the writing of others, so why judge others by the writing of a few?

What's the deal about Lott not giving up his office or limo or driver?

I mean are those things perks for the majority leader? If so, wouldn't they as a matter of course go to Frist?

What's the story?

[TLBSHOW]

No I am not a bush basher even as you try to trash me as one. I support the President and always have your the only trasher here I see trying to trash me and Lott and anyone else that isn't a cheerleader blinded.

Remember CFR?

That was 100% wrong for Bush not to of vetoed it. Like I said hold his feet to the fire, even Freeper Coulter called him a liberal Clinton a few weeks ago!

Its called Feet to the fire.....dear!

[Howlin]

Yes, they are. And Lott seems to be dragging his feet moving out of his office; he even suggested that Frist just put a Majority Leader sign on the office he has now.

[TLBSHOW]

Todd. I'm not interested in what George W. Bush had to say about Trent Lott.
...
Of course your not interested in what he said about Lott because it does not fit in with you trashing Lott 24/7.

[Howlin]

Nobody has to trash you; you do that all by yourself. And more often lately.

What did Dubbya do to Edwards.....?,,...for us cubicle bound

Sorry for the inuendo, but I was merely referring to the re-appointment of Pickering. On the Senate Judiciary Committee, Edwards had been critical of and voted against Pickering. That's all. Still, it was a good nose-tweak of Edwards, who could very well become GW's opponent in 2004.

[Wingsofgold]

Are you from Ms., or not?

[TLBSHOW]

Its called Feet to the fire.....dear!
