If they threaten to filibuster Mr. Reid, then make them filibuster!

[rurallib]

Make 'em hold the floor 24 X 7 for weeks on end. Make them show their ugliness to America in full bloom.
Don't let them off the hook with 41 votes. While they are filibustering, us and certainly other Americans will innundate their offices with calls and letters.
Make them put up or shut up.

1. Absolutely-let them keep talking themselves out of the next few elections.

About time some of these folks learned about real jobs and stuff like that.

2. Cheering on Harry Reid must always be done with a bit of trepidation

The worst quarterback in the league and we've got to depend on him to make the big play. Hope; but prepare for the worst.

3. Agreed

The threat is not enough in this instance. Make 'em do the damned work.

4. Oh hells yeah. I want to hear phone books and cook books

They need to own it and people need to see it.

If these folks think their seats are secure, look to NY-23 (IIRC).

5. ESPECIALLY if they are Dems!

The Blue Dogs need to understand that they aren't going to be placated any longer to satisfy their corporate cronies any longer. If the Blue Dogs all voted to not fillibuster, we wouldn't have to have this discussion. We HAVE the votes IF they voted like Democrats and not corporatists! Expose them for what they are! Don't hold the whole party hostage just for them!

7. I agree.

8. You are talking to the same Mr. Reid that let the republicants off the hook over a hundred times

last year. The mere threat of a filibuster had our friend Harry cowering in a corner. I don't believe he called their bluff once in over 100 cases of threatened filibuster.

9. I know. But hope springs eternal. Reid has shown a wee spot of a spine.

13. I salute your optimism, but personally I dont trust the bstard. nt

10. +1

11. There should be mock executions in front of the Capitol of HC victims.

As many as will die quietly because of their time filibustering. Let it be known.

Cardboard guillotines. The French get HC while we get death.

12. and while Harry is at it

He should toss Lieberman out of his committee chair :grr:
