The other night on tv, Bill Frist, the senate majority leader, warned the country of an evil that's lurking in our congress. It's called the filibuster and he actually coined it "The tyranny of the minority" - when it's used by Democrats, of course.
Can you believe that?
The Republicans control the house, the senate, the presidency and most of the state legislatures and they have the audacity to complain about a stalling tactic that's been used, quite LIBERALLY, by the Republicans whenever the democrats are in control of congess. But then he knows that, all the congress knows that, and any adult whose lived through a couple administrations knows that.
So who's Bill Frist trying to scare? The same moral majority who put Bush back in office, I'd guess. Fear worked so well in the presidential campaign, why stop now?
Perhaps they'll declare the filibuster "A Tool Of Satan!"

well, when the filibuster is used excessively and nothing gets done, then it gets annoying ;-) in which case, both sides could be accused of the crime
True. But sometimes the less that gets done in Washington, the better off we are! ; 0 Thanks for posting.
