They fuck up, we call them on it, they bitch and we back down

I don't know about you, but I'm sick to death of this constant sequence of events.

This shit needs to stop.

1. The only way to respond to bullies is to fight back

I'm also sick of this crap. Never, never, never give up!

2. Maybe they should just take their toys and go home

Since the Republicans don't want to play by the rules anymore, and the democrats can't do anything to stop them, maybe they should just walk out in protest. Playing along with their charade of faux-parlimentary procedure just gives the slimy bastards an air of legitimacy...walk out and let them play with themselves!!

3. The Texas Democrats tried that. The crooked bastids still took over!

4. Welcome to DU, mcctatas

I think the Dems tried that down in Texas and it was somewhat effective, but I don't know the whole story on that.

5. you're right...

imo part of the reason why progressive' do-in-no-way get the creative press they deserve (and the world needs) is that the pissy insufferable 'wrong' wing shows up with talking points already in-mouth and they show no fucking quarter in the process stepping on every line while obfuscating everything else.

sure its ugly. they are ugly. they've effected the body politic by appealing to the jerry springer element and they are proud of having done so. pride...one of the seven deadly.

as is the case with locks keeping out the law abiding; civility is for they who are civil. they ain't civil therefore...

all bets should be off again imo
