FILIBUSTER! What Would Jimmy Stewart Do? FILIBUSTER!
"WHAT WOULD JIMMY STEWART DO?"

Alito's lying, Bush is spying
By the way, our democracy's dying
With Kennedy's blarney and Biden's bluster
Isn't there some strength you can muster?
It's what the last stand was to Custer
(Jimmy Stewart would do it
He wouldn't get flustered)
Please guys, stand up and filibuster!

"I don't really think that Bork's a god
I said it just to get the job,"
"And I joined an uncivil alumni group
'Cause I didn't wanna be a party poop."

"I thought CAP was short for Phi Beta Kappa."
"Strip-searching is a way to build character."
"Um, doesn't a woman's right to choose,
Mean Manolo Blahnik or Ferragamo shoes?"
"Unitary power? No, no, no.
But once I'm a justice - Go man, go!"

Let's go 'round and 'round and 'round
You can't vote me down
If you can't pin me down...

Alito's lying, Bush is spying
By the way, our democracy's dying
With Kennedy's blarney and Biden's bluster
Isn't there some strength you can muster?
It's what the last stand was to Custer
(Jimmy Stewart would do it
He wouldn't get flustered)
Please guys, stand up and filibuster!

7. Jimmy Stewart was an old style republican
so he would have fillibustered until his vocal chords collapsed. The neo-cons aren't even republican. They are borrow-and-spend thieves who reward incompetence and indulge in cronyism. Try and find a republican that agrees with that.

9. republicans as opposed to RINOs
are for a balanced budget, honesty in government and an administration that protects the constitution. They are not Freepers and if possible are even more enraged by Bush than the dems because they trusted this administration to act in a republican manner.

13. see reply #53 on this post
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x181974#190058

they are out there but surprise, surprise they don't get any media coverage either. Maybe out in the blogosphere there are disgusted republicans. Some might be DUers. They don't have horns for goodness sake.

10. Have never thought about that. I just point out that Mr. Smith was
a holywood movie. Better that our heroes be real. Like Dean or Kerry or Gore or...
