Congrats! You've managed to at least equal the moral depravity of the Neocons. You dont like the rules that you would so obviously embrace if it suited you purposes, you don't care if what you embrace is wrong. You don't care if what if put through needs to be redone, you want to win and winning takes precedence over the national good. People of your mindset made Gitmo, warrantless wiretaps, arresting citizens and holding them prisoner possible because the ends justify the means, even if the ends are wrong.
Ok, but please please never complain about the principles of Republicans again. After all the neocons are your brethren in principle.
Nice try, but the fact is I don't like procedural rules that allow a minority to control the government and impose it's minority view upon what constitutes the national good upon the rest of us-it's undemocratic pure and simple (note the small d). How you morph that into acceptance of W's guiding principal of the end justifies the means totally escapes me.
The 40% requirement for cloture in the Senate is purely a procedural rule. There is no constitutional requirement for it, it's sole intent is to promote the political strength of the minority party. It's a rule designed by politicians to protect politicians.
