The important thing is to recognize the fact and deal with it.Scott Hinrichshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11831447472339880148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090403.post-15185531970925366192007-02-06T11:44:00.000-07:002007-02-06T11:44:00.000-07:00I am say that Republicans have to much more carefu...I am say that Republicans have to much more careful when they prevent bills from reaching the floor. When Democrats keep a bill from reaching the floor, the press will laud them as peoples' heroes. When Republicans do it, they get vilified for stifling the debate. That means that Republicans cannot do it as often as Democrats.<br /><br />If you've read Animal Farm, you learned that Democrats are more equal than Republicans. If Republicans keep bills off the floor as often as the Democrats did, the press will crucify them.<br /><br />BTW, did you notice that the title of this post called the Republican actions a BLUNDER (in shouting letters)?<br /><br />I did not say that Republicans should never filabuster, nor did I say that they never have filabustered. I said that in an intellectual climate where there are different rules for Democrats and Republicans, the Republicans must be very select in how they use standard Senate operating procedure.y-intercepthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03389285761013186443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090403.post-59658096439603800932007-02-06T10:55:00.000-07:002007-02-06T10:55:00.000-07:00You're not suggesting that the Republicans never k...You're not suggesting that the Republicans never kept bills from the floor when they were in charge, are you?Voice of Utahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06301240666291861714noreply@blogger.com
