This will be the only time I say this since I rarely support socialists . . . Go Bernie. Kill this ever increasing pork laden pig.

Yes redblack, I knew that, but thank you.

I just didn’t realize that the issue the Left had with Republican filibusters over the last two years was with the method not the procedure (however it plays out) itself.

yes, the left is p.o.’ed that senate republicans have filibustered more in 6 years than both parties had in the previous – what 50? 100 years? i’ll google that later.

yet not one of them ever stood on the floor and either literally or symbolically defended his position.

obstructionist cowards.

Filibuster without consequences for the one calling the filibuster is simply procedural cowardice, a specialty of the RepubliCAN’T Party.

Smitty…

making snarky remarks about Bernie Sanders won’t change the fact that he reminded America exactly how a Filibuster should be conducted.

You know..

before it became nothing more than obstructionist paperwork.

dawsonct…

“just” a very long very well presented speech

that made a point

that doesn’t seem to have been important enough for our news media to actually cover…

and that fact makes a much larger point.

I was quoting Bernie, Jo.

It was really quite funny when he said it. It was near the beginning, and you knew by the look on his face and the tone of his voice, that it was going to be VERY long!
