King George's approval is 38 to 40%, republicans all over the place are being indicted, and the public is pissed off about being lied to over the Iraq war. Did anyone hear Bush's tone and breathing in his "town-hall" meeting yesterday?? He was so fricking nervous, in front of an approved audience, I thought he was going to stroke. He calmed down a bit, but then got hyperventilating again during question time.
Use your senses - listen to him. He is breathing hard, he is pausing, trying to get the audience to like him, he has a whine in his voice. He KNOWS he is going down.
So filibuster, goddammit. Filibuster against Mr. 38%'s nominee, filibuster because Alito does not respect the rights of women, blacks, Hispanics, and he thinks we should have a King. Filibuster because the bastard lied to the Senate before and lied now. These are EASY concepts for Americans to understand. Filibuster and show the rest of the country that the Dems have a fighting spirit. And if we are wrong, and the public punishes us in November, which I really, really don't think is going to happen, well, we are losing now anyway. At least we will go down fighting. Let the republicans go nuclear - the public distrusts them they will distrust abuse of power even more. Push them into it - let them implode. They are not smart - just corrupt, and unafraid to grab power. We are smarter - Reid vs. Frist is no match.
C'mon Harry, we need you to put on your boxing gloves and kick some neo-con ass.
So Senators - you know what you need to know. Get the rumbling going, send out some aides to talk about filibustering off the record. And do it. Fight for your country.
