Actually, one of the greatest things about our government has always been the fact that majority rules with the voice of the minority.
By doing this nuclear action, they take away that foundation and in all honesty, if the minority cannot be heard then we are headed for a dictatorship. We are closing in on one now. All you have to do is open your eyes to how there are people on this board, in the media, and in both houses that are willing to do whatever it takes to keep the GOP in power; to allow the corporations such as healthcare and energy to do whatever they like and to rubber stamp approval on everything Bush does even if it does run up massive debts we can't pay, takes away states and people's rights and destroys the foundations of our freedoms.
Hell, some of the GOP on here have stated that our rights are priveleges and can be taken away by the government.... Where does it say that in the Constitution? The bill of rights means nothing to the GOP except that people can own guns.... and even then if the NRA wasn't one of their top contributors they probably would be ready to ban that one also.
Personally, I believe, if you are not in politics to help and protect those who have a hard time doing it for themselves and to be their voice........ then you need to get out of it and go make your money elsewhere.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
