Oh wow, the hypocrasy of the Republicans
May. 20th, 2005 12:25 amBackground --- Santorum(R-PA) apparently compared the Democrats and their support of the filibuster to the Nazi party during WWII today. I state right now, that I did NOT vote for Mr. Santorum. (I did however vote for Specter).
ETA---so you can see Santorum's stupidity for yourself:
"Said Santorum: "What the Democrats are doing is "the equivalent of Adolf Hitler in 1942 saying, 'I'm in Paris. How dare you invade me. How dare you bomb my city? It's mine.' This is no more the rule of the senate than it was the rule of the senate before not to filibuster."
From the DailyKos:
This absurd anti-filibuster, we-must-break-the-rules, Democrats-are-like-Hitler argument really has reached the heights of stupidity. The seat Bush seeks Owen to fill is only open at all because Senate Republicans blocked both of President Clinton's nominations for the same position without ever allowing them a hearing, much less a vote.
Is there anyone on my flist that doesn't visit www.dailykos.com regularly? Cause you can tell me to stop posting asides that you already read if you like;)
