GOP Showdown Brings Government to the Brink of Shutdown

(Bill Frist Poised to Cripple Senate and Bring Down America)

To fuel his delusional presidential aspirations and appease extremist leaders on the far right, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is willing to sully the Senate and bring down America. According to polls, the public is already fed up, and Frist's unwanted showdown to force a government shutdown won't even begin until Tuesday.

A Wall Street Journal/NBC poll out this week found that 51-percent disapproved of Congress's performance. This was the highest level of dissatisfaction since 1994 - the year Republican's trounced Democrats in midterm elections and took over the House. We can only hope the reverse occurs in 2006.

"The Congress is in a mud fight," Andrew Kohut, director of the Pew Research Center for People and the Press, told The New York Times.

Isn't it amazing how the current batch of Republicans always drag this country down into the mud? Whether it is interfering in the Terri Schiavo affair, misleading the nation into war, or inserting phony reporters/male hustlers like Jeff Gannon into the White House press corps, this new breed of Banana Republicanism consistetnly hurts this nation.

What is ironic, is that the dirtiest, nastiest, below the belt politicians in memory are all moral values crusaders. But, the only thing these hypocrites truly value is money and power. Even if Frist were to win the White House in 2008, the stately home would be so covered in sludge, one would hardly recognize it. Is America still America if you win by dismantling institutions such as the Senate?

Democrats - it is time to rally and stay strong in the face of a radical attempt to change this nation by ending the judicial filibuster. This may be a long, hard fight. But I think preserving America as a free and fair nation is worth the battle.

Of course, a compromise would be nice. But we know religious fanatics, such as Frist, are incapable of playing well with others. For people who talk so much about Jesus - it is strange that they almost always choose "nuclear" over nice.

Why do the liberals always insult Christians. We are just trying to return this nation to its roots of civility and Christianity. This is a Christian nation. If you don't like it - go back where you came from. Frist is right - and you are wrong.

What an idiot you are Arnie! 'Go back to where we came from?!?!' we come from RIGHT HERE you jerk. And no we dont insult Christians, only the fascist moronic hate mongers like you who wouldnt know the REAL teachings of Jesus from a fast food menu. NOOO Arnie, you and Frist are WRONG!!!!! and WE are RIGHT!
And Wayne, I dont agree that we should try to compromise with the republikkkans on this issue (even though they dont want to anyway---so arrogant they are) TRying to appease fascists just emboldens them and makes them more contemtuous of you. After Europe sold out and gave Czechoslovakia away to the nazis 'to keep peace', Hitler said, "I'm surrounded by worms". And he was right, we must never be 'worms' to the neocons, because they have the same mentality as the Führer!

Hey Arnie -
Since you want to live in a Theocracy - why don't you move to Iran where religious leaders rule the Country.
You are very Un-american.

Okay, is he crying because he got a helmet-like razor cut or because they wouldn't punch his card at Super Cuts?
