To the republicans, Please filibuster health care reform and to the MSM ....
Edited on Tue Oct-27-09 05:39 PM by Botany
.... Max Baucus, Chuck Todd, Fox, and so on we don't need 60 votes we need 50 + 1 (Biden).

So once again to that pampered ass Snowe*, Mitch McChinless (McConnell), Kyle, McCain, Grahamn,
Shelby, and all those republicans who want to side w/ the insurance companies' profits over the
well being of Americans I beg you to filibuster ..... do not talk about it .... do it motherfuckers.
Because you know it will help finish off the republican party.

And to everybody else we need 51 votes not 60 ..... that is a lie brought to you by the insurance
companies, HMOs, up-Chuck Todd, and Sean Hannity.


:rant:


* Snowe to me is getting like S. Palin, John Edwards, O.J, Terrell Owens & Britney Spears ... people
are can go the rest of my life and never hear about again ..... Chuck Todd is in that group too.

8. Absolutely agree!
I want an old-fashioned, for-real, Jimmy Stewart style filibuster. The current record for continuously holding the floor of the US Senate is 24 hours and 18 minutes, set by Strom Thurmond.

I figure if "Doctor" Coburn would catheterize Mitch(aka "puppet mouth")McConnell on the Senate floor (while C-SPAN cameras roll), he could possibly go 36 hours or so. When he finally collapsed, we could then vote and 51 votes would be all that was required to pass a public option health care bill and send the GOP into the political wilderness.

(Sorry for the visuals!)
