Re: The Filibuster Deal... We're We Checked, Or Check-Mated ???


How's that deal lookin as of this moment? And should we burn it down now, or wait til the next robe drops?

Would we trump this nomination by forcing a filibuster now (fuck the gang of 14), or should we be... pragmatic and wait for the inevitable bending-over when Rehnquist croaks?

What say you now???

7. "Pink Tutu Democrats"
see http://www.bartcop.com

Ever heard of the Church Committee, Iran-Contra, October Surprise, the S&L debacle, BCCI, the 2000 Coup, the 2004 Stole Election (to name some)? The Pink Tutus have, because they covered it allllllll up. Thank them very much.

10. That's Because It's And Old PhotoShop, From A Bitch Long Ago !!!
But it still serves its purpose.

Feel free to update. I'd love to see a new and improved version.

11. Still doesn't explain why Kerry and Edwards were considered
"Pink Tutu" Democrats at all.

BCCI? Iran/Contra? Kerry is supposed to have suppressed his own investigations. And most of the stuff on the list happened before Edwards got into politics. Hell, even one of the things on the list that he WAS around for is an issue he apparently wanted to push (the election).

I'm not updating it. Because it's freakin' stupid. Let it get old and die.

13. Why would you want to get under my skin?
Esp. with something that's patently untrue?

Wouldn't something reality-based be more effective?

14. That all depends upon how you calibrate 'reality.'
After all, we ALL live in the new era where BushCo creates it's own reality.

BTW, Kerry won the "election," just like Gore did before him. Where were the Pink-Tutus screaming about that?

Silence.

6. Just A Feeling... But I Think We're Screwed Either Way !!!
All they need in that second nomination, is for TWO rePukes to bolt, correct???

Then it's game, set, and match.
