Bringing his "standing filibuster" to an end? WHHYY!!!!! WHHYYY!!!
I've been out of the country the past week and finally caught up to the whole thing--the Dems/Republicans are all getting the CR on track with the GOP being able to vote the way their constituents want them to vote (the stupid path) and then allowing the Obamacare defunding to be stripped from bill--no fuss no muss.
Then in walk two tea party types in the senate to jam all that up. NICE! This is what radical conservatism has wrought.

(4,713 posts)correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they say it's technically not even a filibuster because the votes already scheduled for next week?
The damn idiot is probably talking to an empty room.

(4,713 posts)say that congress should be focusing on creating jobs right now, not killing them. This dumbshit can't honestly believe that anyone outside of his bubble is buying this shit. What a tool.

(103,808 posts)That I wouldn't mind seeing, though I don't condone violence. How about a PIEGRAM!!! or...? Someone could sneak off to the room where the power switch is and throw the breaker and steal the handle. No CSPAN coverage, (and since the room is probably empty as mentioned above) no reason to keep going. Never forget what havoc was unleashed when sNewt did that in an empt room back in the 90s.
But since he said "...until he can no longer stand." Well, a tackle would be a good option to pursue... as long as nobody let him stand up again after that for at least an hour.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
