Pat Robertson: "What I want to see is the filibuster rule changed"

[high density]

Bush Pushed From The Right

Social conservatives are pushing President Bush to utilize his “moral mandate” to push landmark legislation through Congress. Expectations are high among religious leaders close to the Republicans that the White House will urge the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, enact a constitutional ban on gay marriage and make conservative appointments to the Supreme Court when opportunities arise.

“I absolutely trust him in terms of his appointment of judges.” Pat Robertson, founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network and onetime presidential candidate, told CBSNews.com. “The emphasis that is making just suits me to a ‘t.’”

...

Robertson says his first priority is for Congress to disable the ability of “obnoxious filibustering” Democrats to stand in the way of conservative judicial appointments.

“What I want to see is the filibuster rule changed at the beginning of this new Congress,” Robertson said in an interview.

4. liberal Christians pray that Robertson be loosed from earthly bonds

very soon.

I'm sure Robertson wants to join Christ, the lamb, up in heaven....so get on your knees and pray for it to be expedited.

7. *lol* We aren't allowed to pray for that, so we pray for the scales

to fall from his eyes instead.

5. He wants it changed till the Democrats are in the white house

then he wants it changed the other way. Funny he didn't cry about it while Clinton was in.

[seraph]

6. Dear Pat - Fuck Off and ___, Go meet Jesus asshole. (nt)

[Webster Green]

8. But......checks and balances are the safeguards that the founders...

wrote into our political system.

Why does Pat hate America?

[Maat]

9. It's pretty much what I expected.

So sad.

[Spinzonner]

10. I'll filibuster that

[BigBigBear]

11. Down boy !!

Can't we wait until after inaguration day to rewrite all those crinkly old documents????

[high density]

14. No kidding

All of the nuts, new and old, are really coming out of the woodwork now that the media has been endlessly pushing "moral values."

[tsuki]

12. Did God tell him that? I mean,

when he talked to him. Did God tell him that?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

13. There's a big surprise

:eyes:

[americanwomanone]

15. When did he become a member of congress? n/t

[sonicx]

16. ....what does it take to change it?(the filibuster rule)

[jmowreader]

24. It would never happen

because the Repugs want it in case they decide to let a Democrat slip through BBV so we can all see how ineffectual they are.

Remember, always, the cardinal rule of the Republican Party: never, ever do away with something outrageous because our party relies on outrage to function.

17. WTF? HIS first priority? Who the fuck does he think he is?

n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

18. HIS first priority?

Eat shit Robertson. You vile piece of shit!

[cornermouse]

19. But...but.....but..... they OWE him.

And now its time for kickbacks...oops paybacks. Surely you can see that.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

20. His primary religious activity is pushing a political agenda

and for that he operates tax free. It's about time someone founded a left-leaning Humanistic Church formed for the sole purpose of disseminating political thought without having to follow campaign finance rules or pay taxes.

21. Notice how the children living in poverty - 18% - aren't a PRIORITY

nor are those without jobs...those without healthcare.

[PretzelWarrior]

22. sooo....he doesn't trust him when he says "No casualties." but

he believes him on judge appointments. I wonder if they've patched things up since the whole Liberia thing.

[Book Lover]

23. Hey, Pat, when did you get elected?

Oh, that's right; it's just your proxy that stole the election...
