Guest Joe S. Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Now that Harry Reid wants an up or down vote on a troop withdrawal bill, the Republicans are threatening to filibuster the bill. For just a minute here, let's turn back the hands of time -- let's go back to the stacks and play a couple of Golden Oldies from the vault -- maybe you remember these from days gone by: Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS): "[Filibustering] is wrong. It Quote

In the case where Democrats threatened filibuster on bush,jr's court appointments they stood up and made their position loud and clear. In this case Republicans do not want to get on record regarding their position on the war. The cowards are hiding behind a filibuster Quote

Republicans refuse to vote to support the war. They are cowards. Getting reelected is all that counts for them. Staying off the record regarding the war is paramount in their minds. Quote

They don't. They know they will face retribution from the voters if they get on record supporting bush.jr's war. 22 Republicans in the Senate are up for election in Nov. 2008 If the Dems pick up half of those seats, eleven, they will have a filibuster proof majority and a Democratic president.
