Repub Filibustering...

[radfringe]

Well, so much for reaching across the aisle... based on the repuba-blather over the weekend regarding the stimulus package, I'm guessing the Senate repubs will threaten a filibuster

based on past response from Reid - he's gonna cave in to the repub whining

Not that Reid will grow a pair in time, but I have a suggestion

Let the repubs filibuster, and outside the senate doors I would have a big clock

Top line would read:
Republican Economy-Job Creation Filibuster below would be the hours/minutes ticking away

Bottom Line: # of jobs lost due to filibuster
(using 500,000 as a base/divided by a 30 day month/24 hours = 694 jobs lost per hour) - set up the timer to click off about 12 jobs per minute.

next, I would have a Dem out there every hour or so, stand next to the clock and giving media updates - this way the clock is in any still photos or video the media may run.

I'm sure the repubs would have their own little pressers, in this case I would suggest that progressive commentators run a split screen of the count-down clock and repubs blathering...
