The minority has to be represented too
I'm listening to Springer and he's talking about the judges and everything and he's going on a roll. He's saying how the minority has to be represented too and we have to respect all views. And he's saying if you can't get sixty out of a hundred senator's to vote are you sure this is a person you want for life? I'm tired of the rightwingers thinking they can take over everything and think only they have a voice and want to turn our government into a Theoacracy. :mad: And I also heard a rant in a commercial from Janeane on "Majority Report" and she's talking about how the republicans can side with the bully but it doesn't mean their not going to kick their asses either. I think we're all getting screwed over (of course) and of course the republicans don't think about that. The neocons only care about them for votes. Sad, really.

1. I Believe The "Minority" May Actually Be The Majority
The Problem Is The "Minority" Majority Does Not Take The Time To Be Truly Informed and They Also Do Not Vote; The Lazy Bastards.

2. Minority in the senate are the majority
Do the math. I looked at how many are represented by democratic senators vs. how many are represented by republican senators. You will find that the democrats represent a higher population.

3. The problem is
the majority is the majority. Eventually, they will get their way. The question is how tough do we want to make it for them, and for ourselves?

Remember, they won't always be the majority, but they will remember, and whatever we did to them, they will be well within their rights to do to us.

No Democratic president will ever again be able to put a judge on the bench that the Republicans don't want there.
