Stick around a while longer. No use in letting these little amateur nerds run you off.


People cheering at the prospect that you might leave says a lot about how much of their attention you actually got.

What a 'downer' if not one single person noticed or cared what you said about leaving.

I mean look at the lamers going OUT OF THEIR WAY to feign indifference.

I actually sent him a PM and tried to encourage him to stick around. But, in any case, I'm still here because these people love me and want me to stay. BHA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!

Really pisses you off having to skirt around the n-word like this, doesn't it? (For the record, as a card carrying, pinko democrat, I don't use it either.)

I am opposed to Obama trying to get rid of the filibuster; & not because I have any love for the Republicans, but because I believe in open debate.

From what I understand, a filibuster is more about preventing a vote than ensuring continued debate.

Gentleman's agreements only work when working with others who genuinely have the best interests of the country at heart. With a renegade opposition of this sort you have to do everything the rules allow in order to accomplish anything at all.

This is how I view the filibuster in government. If the Republitards continue filibustering, the Democrats most likely become tired of the ignorant debate front and vote in favor of the Republitards because they are simply tired of being there and discussing the same nonsense that the Republitards absolutely refuse to change their minds about because they are stubborn. That is why nothing of any real important gets accomplished, because it always seems to be up to the Democrats to be the bigger men by catering to the whims of the Republitards who never back down from their soapboxes.

Not me. I never use the the word...My issue with Baracko has nothing to do with his skin color...I just don't like Baracko because he's a conniving liar and a hypocrite just like his leftwing buddies at MSLSD News. I don't like Baracko's policy of redistribution, his naive foreign policy, his class warfare, and I don't like the way Barack lies and blames others to cover up and hide his administration's failures and scandals from the public...but I bet what really pisses you off is when you look in a mirror and see your own white face staring back at you. Sorry that you and your other leftwing buddies are so uncomfortable in your own skin that you feel you have to apologize for being white. (For the record, I don't always equate pinkos to democrats. Just depends on the pinko who claims to be a democrat).

Let's not forget Wendy Davis's heroic use of the filibuster. Do you really want to get rid of that?

Unfortunately, these guys don't realize the ramifications of what happened yet. I was against killing the filibuster when the Republicans tried to do it in 2005 and I'm against killing the filibuster now when Obama and the dems actually did it. This was only a short sighted and short term victory for the dems. When the Republicans retake the Senate the dems won't have the benefit of a filibuster anymore.
