The latest idiotic petition from the Radical Reich
Sent to me as e mail spam


For a shameful four full years, ruthless radicals in the
U.S. Senate have stopped at nothing to inflict their godless
bigotry on America. To block highly qualified pro-life
judicial nominees, a Democratic minority has connived and
twisted the U.S. Constitution to deny the majority its right
to govern.

This outrage must end! It isn't enough to block pro-abortion
Sen. Arlen Specter from becoming chairman of the Senate
Judicial Committee. The time has come for drastic action to
blow apart this unholy, unjust and un-American blockade for
our nation's sake! Please go to ConservativePetitions.com
and read what is at stake. Here's the address:
http://www.conservativepetitions.com/petitions.php?id=195

After losing control of the Senate, ruthless Democrats took
the law into their own hands and absolutely have refused to
yield. They unjustly use fraudulent filibusters to force an
unconstitutional 60-vote "super majority" for confirmation.

Even though President George W. Bush received a moral
mandate from the people :eyes:, even though Republicans earned
greater control in the Senate, that will not be enough to
explode the Democrats' bigoted blockade -- UNLESS YOU ACT!

Here's your chance to play a crucial role at this pivotal
point in American history: Sign a petition asking all
senators to vote in favor of a resolution by Senate Majority
Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) that would provide a fair way to
end filibusters. :puke:

If Democrats still won't stop their unconstitutional ploy,
urge the U.S. Senate to limit filibusters and finally break
the blockade! Act now at:

5. How about a counter petition?
Any and all suggestions could be posted here?

Maybe a petition outlining the rules and engagement about filibusters.

I'd sign it.

7. So...
it's unconstitutional when we do it to block Sepcter/orther rethugs, but when they did it to block social change in america for black children to go to vote, nothing happened except that the bills passsed for social change.

This guy must not know why we blocked Specter in the first place... Idiot.

8. Another example of "be careful what you wish for"
The fillibuster cuts both ways. Right now, it is against them. There was a time not long ago, and there will be a time again, when that's all they have .... like us now.

9. but then it will have to be changed agin
Have can't have it both ways, so instead they just have to keep changing the rules so as to benefit them at all times, and at all cost.
