obstructionist

* "And let’s be honest here: having Gonzales on the federal bench may be more important to the Bush crime family down the road for personal reasons and for a replay of Bush v. Gore in 2008 or 2012 for Jeb than pleasing the American Taliban now." LINK

* btw - as i mentioned a couple of months ago, the dems should get out ahead of the pack and appropriate the 'obstructionist' label - particularly wrt the scotus noms, but beyond that as well. harry reid should stand in front the cameras and echo kofi: "Are we gonna obstuct? Hell yeah!
if the christofascists try to appoint someone who will remove a womans right to choose, the american people *want* us to obstruct that nomination.
if the Schiavo Repuglicans try to interject themselves into private family matters, the american people *want* us to obstruct.
if the radicalright try to take away social security, the american people *want* us to obstruct.
if these people try to lie us into another unnecessary war, the american people *want* us to obstruct
they can call us the Party of No, and they can shout OBSRUCTIONIST all they like - we say BringItOn! the american people can see this country is moving in the wrong direction, and they can see that the Radicals that have hijacked the goverment are going to make it even worse.
we need to put a brake on these people so they dont do any more damage. are we gonna obstruct? hell, yeah!"

etc etc etc

the radministration is guaranteed to 'complain' about 'obstructionism' so the dems might as well appropriate that term for themselves and negate it from the outset.

if the repugs are gonna go nuclear, which they will, at least the dems can claim that they really do stand for something, which is protecting the idea of america as we know her.

besides, what the hell have they got to lose?

and with blinkys popularity ratings at around 40%, and his impeachment numbers about the same, if he wants to have a fight, i say lets give him the chance to defend his crazy policies.

* btw, if blinky appoints a "strict constructionist" to scotus, would scotus hang him, and rove, and gonzales, and all the rest of them as per the constitution? hell, yeah!
