Elections are supposed to have consequences, not the least of which is that when the People elect folks from a certain party, the other party doesn't get to have all it wants, and it has to suck it up and do what the People want, which is why they voted for the other guys.

Since Clinton took office the biggest consequence of Republicans not being in control has been that virtually nothing has happened...reason being that they'd rather play politics than actually do anything, in spite of the will of the People of the United States of America being clearly expressed.

It's not how a democracy is run, and it's un-American...and the country is full of a bunch of partisan voters who are not interested in having an actual democracy, and they, too, are un-American.

Blah, blah, blah...doesn't address the issue at all, not surprisingly.

I'm not calling for the end of the filibuster, I'm calling for the end of using it every single time for no other reason than to make sure nothing happens so that they can win elections in the next cycle...and anyone who says that this is not why the GOP does it ad nauseum is either fuckin stupid, or a fuckin liar.

Fish on...

I find it curious that all elected officials take some sort of oath, similar to "Support and defend the Constitution and Laws". Nowhere in there do they take an oath to "ensure my re-election and the election of my party".

Their job is to govern. That often includes compromise. On both sides. The majority should not force its views, just because it can no should the minority prevent action just because it can.

For a long time CA had that 2/3 majority rule to pass a budget and a minority could simply say no till the cows came home. Which they did. CA never got a budget done by the Constututionally mandated time. How about the do an Initiative? If the budget is not passed by the due date, the whole Legislature is charged with non-compliance. The penalty for conviction? Loss of the ability to hold elected office anywhere in CA for 10 years on the first offense and for life on the second.

50lb. chunk of blue ice? Perhaps the GOP could mold it into a viable candidate?

The protestors I'm sympathizing with are the ones who have been making a list of Wall St names who have acquired wealth illegally or bought changes in the law to legalize their wealth creation techniques at the expense of the American middle class, and once there's a decent amount of snow on the ground, go to those 1%er's mansions and toss their arrogant asses out into the snow and take up residence in said mansions. On this class warfare issue, the pendelum needs to swing and put the real crooks in the street.

UP THE REVOLUTION!

I'm sure there are dozens of right wing shitferbrains "journalists" out there looking like hell for someone...anyone...that will go on the record that this guy was gay, bisexual, or was seen smoking a joint.

Can you imagine if a bunch of Socialist Kenyans jumped an Iraq veteran at a TeaBagger Circle Jerk and beat him up? There'd be a lynching.

Just more of the Right Wing Hypocrisy Machine grinding its gears.
