Some pithy words by georgia10 at dailykos. A sampling:
Democrats can either surrender this government to a party which seeks to destroy it, or we can take Lincoln’s advice and play our available cards. Â To those who say filibusters–judicial, patriot act, etc–are too politically costly, I say that failure to filibuster is conceding that this nation isn’t worth fighting for. Instead of worrying that we will be labeled “obstructionist,” I say we filibuster Alito, filibuster the Patriot Act, filibuster time and time again until this crazy government comes to a screeching halt. Â Enough is enough. The list of scandals is overshadowed only by the list of names of the 2,190 whose deaths have yet to be honored by this administration.
