Yes or No Vote

I am not one who normally talks a lot about politics, but I feel that this is imporatnt enough to mention. Our good republican senators have been fighting the democrats in the senate over the issue of fillibusters. For those of oyu no tup on the political jargon, a fillibuster is when one party doesn't get their way and they no the vote won't go their way they basically clog the senate with useless and sometimes rediculous conversation. President Bush has been trying to get some good conservative judges into higher courts. This would easily be possible with a republican majority in the senate. However, the democrats have been abusing the fillibuster by using to block the vote on every nominee so far. They tried to bring an end to this by trying to get a vote to end the fillibusters by democrats. This unfortunately did not happen because seven republican senators including both Maine senators Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins decided to compromise. They have made an agreement that the fillibuster will only be used when it is deemed absolutely neccesary. The only problem is that it has been left to the democratic party to decide when this is the case. With nitwits like Howrd Dean in control of the Democratic Party I am sure that this will be the case most of the time. So to sum it all up I am extremely ashamed of my own senators. You have lost what little respect I had for you, and you do not deserve to call yourselves republicans. What is this country coming to, when the lesser party has more control than the one chosen by the majority of the people. Feel free to express your outrage it will only make me feel better.
