Consider that LBJ had to deal with ONE filibuster in 6 years and Harry Reid has had to deal with EIGHTY FOUR since Obama was elected.
LBJ had the benefit of a Democrat super majority in the Senate for the entirety of his presidency. Easy to avoid filibusters when then opposition does not even have enough seats to consider a filibuster.
That there is some conservative logic at its finest, yesirree
Hate to break it to you, sparky, but I'm a centrist. The extreme Democrat agenda of the last 4 years is pushing me further to the right, but a centrist I remain.
I also couldn't help but notice you took that one little snipet out of my post, but "conveniently" ignored the meat of it, which was a very valid thing to consider.

Rachel Maddow is just smart enough and just sarcastic enough to attract the kind of viewers who don't bother to do any of their own thinking and convince them that she is intellectually honest.
Roberts should have never been confirmed. He's horrible. So that just goes to show that the Demos are completely spineless and can't even stand up for something when they're in the right, let alone when they're in the wrong.
He's one of the best of modern times.

When will you get it? Maddow represents the fringe Left of society, the extreme - why would anyone in the middle/right of common sense, who make up the vast majority of the US, listen to his blathering rhetoric?

The GOP has broken the Senate, intentionally
Frankie schooled you on the whys, but of course you ignore it.
Only if you're a raving neocon. To anyone on the left, left center, center, or center right, he's an abomination (FTR, I fall somewhere between center and center right).
Alito at least has a libertarian streak to him. There's at least that tiny thing in his favor. Roberts is just an extremist right-winger.
Sen.Byrd of W.V. the Grand Wizard of Pork filibusted the Civil Rights Bill... you know the one that gave Black Americans basic human rights...along with Southern Dimos in 1964 while the Repubs championed the Bill by Humprey.He also filibusted the Iraq War playing a fiddle talking about his hound dogs...lollollol....
He's a handsome little guy. I bet he does well with the ladies.
And he tries real hard to be taken seriously. I guess he is by the dozen or so viewer he gets.
I especially like the commercial that shows little Ralphie Madcow "working" before his broadcast every night. How hard is it to say "republicans suck!" or "Tesbaggers suck!"?
Their new slogan "Lean forward"....why? So we can see who is a man and who is a woman?
And lean as far back as possible when looking at Andrea Mitchell. Ewwwwww!
