I can't answer for sure where the senate democrats were on this move, but the way it was presented, as a fait accompli, made me believe that they were powerless to do anything about it, their minority (31 Rs to 19 Ds) is so small now. The kind of anger I feel over this just seethes. This issue hits me personally, of course, but the bigger political picture, which you so well describe, is a never-ending source of frustration to me.Ralphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10007305231270037503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849327642610184563.post-22199531294301575642011-10-03T16:38:09.913-04:002011-10-03T16:38:09.913-04:00Ralph - what bothers me most is where are the Demo...Ralph - what bothers me most is where are the Democrats? It's not hard to believe that the Republicans would aggressively support and maneuver this amendment thru your legislature - but how could they move this thru the cover of darkness so-to-speak without the complicit agreement of the Dems?<br /><br />Politics is not necessarily about intelligent debate - not anymore at least. It's all about the tactics to win. The new Republicans also are not reluctant to burn down the house to achieve their goals - a bluff that the Dems are too frightened to call. But no matter - where is the resistance? Any resistance?<br /><br />Unfortunately, we're not talking constitutional amendments but rather religious doctrine. Republicans are now clearly identified with the fundamentalist religious right. And policy - especially social policy - is now driven by that same fundamentalism. <br /><br />This is a fight that will never end Ralph. There should be as much outrage directed towards the left side of the aisle as towards the right.<br /><br />Getting off soapbox now...Jeffhttp://www.lazarusdodge.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849327642610184563.post-11332659402920433912011-10-02T07:56:27.290-04:002011-10-02T07:56:27.290-04:00So far no Republican-led beheadings, Christer, but...So far no Republican-led beheadings, Christer, but the sentiment can feel the same.

He tends only to phone on high days and holidays!<br /><br />Turning to your comment on chickens the chances are that bird never stood. What we call "battery" chickens are horrendously treated and I understand they are deliberately overfed to such an extent that their legs break under the weight. This is shy I only ever buy what we call "free range" (that is they have lived in the open air and had a chance to run around or organic chickens because I knoe they will have had a happier life<br /><br />(Bizarrely the captcha for this comment is "wings"!)Peewithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10673172358192519373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849327642610184563.post-17928970327795344962011-09-01T15:24:41.380-04:002011-09-01T15:24:41.380-04:00Thanks for stopping by, Christer.
