I just wanted to know from the liberals out there ahead of time, are you OK with the Republicans filibustering against the nominations of judges from a liberal president like Hillary in the near future the way that the liberals have filibustered against the nomination of Bush appointed judges? Is turn about fair play or is fairness only deemed fair if it favors the liberal agenda? Personally I think the practice is an abuse of the constitutionality of the governmnet, however, a precident has been set by the Dems and we must now deal with the consequences. Then again, the Republicans seem to have turned liberal now a days so they will probably be head over heels in love with the Hillary nominations.

Liberals?

Who are the liberals?

Oh, yeah, I get it, you are speaking about the U.S.

I got confused, sorry; you know, the world is way bigger than the U.S.

No, I'm not OK with that. You see, when the Republicans filibuster, it is a quintessentially evil act. When the Democrats do it, it is a noble and courageous act. So turn about is NOT fair play. By your logic, during WWII, when we cheered every time the Americans put up a stout defense against German attacks we should have likewise been required to cheer every time the Germans put up stout defense against American attacks. No, I don't cheer for the enemy. And the Republicans are the enemy of all of humanity and civilization. They are the source of all evil in the world today. Nothing they do can be looked upon favorably.

Are you serious or joking? You know, some times its hard to tell.

BTW: Your name would'nt happen to be Howard Dean would it? As for Howard, unfortunatly he is not joking when he says such things, rather, he's just a nut and it cost him the Presidency.

Just out of curiosity, what makes Republicans evil and Democrats the good guys? Also, can you be a "good" person and be a registered Republican or run as a Republican or does that qualify you as being evil?

The Republicans are in league with the Christian right, who are among the worst enemies of civilzation. The Republicans provide the Christian fundamentalists access to the political arena and a veneer of respectability that they would otherwise lack. Their utter defeat is a matter of the greatest importance if civilization is to move forward. Failure would mean abandoning several hundred years of progress and falling back into another Dark Age. It used to be that the Republican Party was the party of fiscal conservatives, but that is becoming less and less true with each passing election. The fact that the ilk of Huckabee can carry states in the primary elections should serve as a warning call to all proponents of the separation of church and state to remain ever vigilant. The greatest danger to America is not from foreign terrorists, but from domestic Christian Fundamentalists. They are enemy no. 1.

Don't you think that's a little extreme?
