I am very disappointed that Lindsey took the low road on this issue. He's always been a helluva good guy, so I dunno what's got into him on this matter.

And is it just me, or does Lincoln Chafee look like Steve Doocy's evil twin?

I disagree that these seven, escially Lindsey are sellouts. I beleive that it was ok to do everything we could to avoid changing the rules. The nominees will get an up or down vote. I feel it is better that we arrived here this way.

These Senators did what they thought was best for the country.

Lindsey and Mike both retain the ability to pull vote "Yes" to change the rules if the 7 Democrats break the agreement. Do not let Sen. Reid's pronouncement's fool you the rules change is averted but not completely off the table.

The real onus is on these 7 Democrats to not participate in a filibuster. If they hold to the agreement then the Democrats do not have the votes to filibuster.

I think the compromise is good becasue the Senate again workling on the work of the American people, which includes voting on nominees, but this is not the sole thing that going on.

Hi.
I'm a bisexual female. Just happened across this site and I thought I'd say hello.

I am not going to post what sort of philosophy is "right" or "wrong." I am not going to join myself and every other non-heterosexual person in exsistence into a beautiful utopian "we."

I'd like to quote Mr. Josh -- if that is your real name ; ) -- from his words in 2003 and give my personal reflection.

Here's the quote:

>

Here are my thoughts:

(1.) I don't embrace a lot of things, too. People kissing in public is gross -- any mix of gender. Other people's tounges are gross. Seeing ladies breastfeed in public creeps me out. Hair that comes out of moles is really gross.

(2.) You say that you are not a bigot, a bad person, or wrong. That's fine. Anybody -- even a bigot -- can have an opinion. The part where I laugh is where you try to justify your opinion by saying that you are "normal" and part of the majority. Well, normality, Mr. Josh, is an abstract. It is arbitrary. It is a social construct. It does not prove that you are or are not a bigot. Also, being a part of the majority doesn't prove anything about you either.

Hold on to your pants. The profound part is coming... The simple fact, Mr. Josh, is that you cannot prove to anybody whether you are or are not a bigot, a bad person, or wrong --- because --- it is a matter of opinion and it all depends on who you ask.

Dear Mr. Josh, here is what I think: you are a stupid, poopy, caa-caa, dumb-head. You have cooties and you pee in your bed every night. Silly boy, you run like a girl.

I thought I'd tell you in a way you could understand. See ya, I've got more internet browsing to do : )
