United States of America -- TEA PARTY 02 : San Francisco USA

U.S.A. Tea Party 2010:

axiom of mainstream media: If you do not accept all of President Obama’s policies or the Democratic Party’s platform, you are not a patriot and you are a Racist. Obama’s recent comment on the Tea Party is to “tone it down.” Here are some standard media and tax-payer supported media that falls into line solely to the Democratic Party.

This was my first Tea Party:  Location: Union Square, Mission District , San Francisco;  4 pm – 7 pm, 15 April 2010 – we had fun and made jokes about Obama’s arrogance and failures’ and lies.

Mass murder Bill Clinton:

Clinton who claims Tea Party members are potential mass murderers  [[ “Clinton alludes to 1995 bombing, says words matter “ (Washington D.C.: Associated Press,  Yahoo/news http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100416/ap_on_go_ot/us_clinton_heated_rhetoric ; Internet, 16 April 2010, accessed 16 April 2010 ; Clinton made the remarks at events sponsored by the Center for American Progress Action Fund on the upcoming anniversary of the bombing.)]] took Obama’s call to speak to the media to address the uproar called the Tea Party movement that saw  over 1,000 Tea Party protests across the nation in April 2010. Obama who called on the tea party members to “tone it down,” Clinton offered a more radical response by implying that the Tea Party Movement spurned on by  right-wing Talk-Radio will just produce many more Timothy McVeighs.  On April 19, 1995, an anti-government conspiracy led by Army veteran Timothy McVeigh exploded a truck bomb outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, killing 168 people. McVeigh reacted to what he saw as an intrusive government into private lives of American citizens.  Bill Clinton had ordered a military tank to ram the compound of David Koresh and spread flammable tear gas which somehow ignited and killed most of the people inside in a massive gas-fire – which spread quickly.  Many of these were innocent children and women. Clinton claimed he had authority because David Koresh refused to leave the compound to talk to authorities over allegations of child neglect and perhaps abuse. McVeigh decided to take matters into his own hands and retaliate by killing AT.F. officials who were to gather at the Murrah Federal Building. Unfortunate, McVeigh did not know that on the day of his attack, A.T.F. children were being dropped-off at the building because of some school reason.  Bill Clinton still has real guilt over this episode, because potentially his actions led to all the deaths in Waco Texas as well as in Oklahoma.

Chains of Obama

Here are paper - links in a model of chains of Obama’s tyrannical politics.  Obama called on Tea Party members to stop confronting his policies; In fact, Obama intends he knows better than the Average America as too what is best for the U.S.A. policies. That is coddle dictators, disinvest in Democratic states around the globe, such as Israel, downsize the Military, increase Medical Costs to the poor ( actually this is in the Obamacare bill, as reported by surprise by the NYTimes; Call the founding fathers of America radical racists and stupid people, call all Republicans in the history of the United States as totall failures, stupid people and need to be corrected by Obama’s world views or suffer the consequences –“I’m keeping score brother!” Obama loves to tell the media.

 

Infiltrator San Francisco April 2010

Tea Party Members came this time prepared with Infiltrator signs to identify radical-leftist media saboteurs.  The Leftist Democrats on Capital Hill like the media to broadcast how Tea Parties are full of Racists, Haters, and NAZIs. These were all identified later as liberal plants. There has never been an apology, and certainly leftist professors will record in their history books how the 2009- 2010 ( and continuing) Tea-Parties are full of  Racists, Haters, and NAZIs.

Filthy Rich Obama ( about $30,000,000 in the bank and after Taxes) and filthy rich Bill and Hillary Clinton ( about $100,000,000 in the bank and after Taxes) intend the Tea – Party Movement is made up of upper-class and rich white people.  From what I saw, poor people, including many Veterans, including the Iraq War(s) were representing the poor lot of Americans just struggling under the weight of overwhelming value taxes, state-taxes and federal taxes.  In fact, many were living close to being homeless. I’m homeless but that does not seem to matter to the filthy riches like Obamas or the Clintons.  All economical sectors have seen inflation from this Obama –Pelosi trickle up economy which at present is  projected  at $13.5 trillion in federal debt and also the public holds about 75% of that and  this figure is rising under the CBO  public debt figures. Under F.D.R. and because of W.W. II, the public held 103% of the public debt. Obama’s first installment of his stimulus package went to unions that supported him for the general election as well as special interest groups like ACORN and other Obama election groups.  The new money is now in the hands of the radical left and will stay that way. The Tea Party is reacting to economic stranglehold on Obam’s agenda to end the U.S. prosperity and prop-up global dictator regimes.  SInce Clinton has no financial worries, even for his lone offspring, he supports Obama because it causes less of a struggle in the public and allows the public radical left not to attack him for his filthy wealth.

 

Project Megiddo

Attacking & Murdering Christians: Atheist's Left Global Project:

 

To cover up his crimes of defraying nuclear weapons to China Bill Clinton had his CIA operatives make up a story for the media  that Slobodan Milošević had killed 350,000 Muslims and was continuing a  European genocide.  Obviously none of this was true, but the left – wing media had cover for Clinton as prominent Chinese military and spy operatives were being summons to court in what could turn out to be the most notorious nuclear weapons defrayment of the history of the human race.

 

Due to a shortage of jobs and ethnic Muslim migration into Yugoslavia over 40 years because of little work in Anatolia ( today’s modern Turkey), Bujar Bukoshi, shadow Prime Minister in exile (in Zürich, Switzerland), created a group called FARK (Armed Forces of the Republic of Kosova) which was reported to have been disbanded and absorbed by the KLA in 1998. The Clinton administration using the Republican Policy Committee’s finding initially called the KLA a terrorist organization. Then once Chinagate began breaking in the right-wing talk-radio – the initial reason right-wing talk radio rose to American iconic prominence, the KLA became Clinton’s ally. Suddenly, the Christian Slobodan Milošević became the Atheist left-wing enemy; and the Muslim radical terrorists had to be militarily supported by the atheist 42nd President of the United States of America.  By the middle of 1998, The KLA had declared war on the Christians and raided military outposts robbing them of munitions and supplies. The radical Islamists ceased cities and towns and the response was Milošević meeting with Boris Yeltsin to stop the Islamist killings of Christians.  Slobodan Milošević . Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin (Russian: Борис Николаевич Ельцин  (1 February 1931 –23 April 2007) was the first President of the Russian Federation, serving from 1991 to 1999. The counter offense was termed successful but it displaced, perhaps, 250,000 immigrants. Clinton used this figure to sell to the American media that Christian right-wing fundamentalists were genociding ( that is massive killing like the NAZI gas-chambers!) immigrants that were Muslims.  In order to solve the problem, Clinton sold a U.S. war campaign and called it humanitarian. However, his real plan was genocide of the Christian Europeans. This was a success as he order all U.S. military jets to fly very high and drop incendiary bombs onto the populations. He targeted all the industrial buildings, the power-energy buildings and sought to destroy all the bridges to trap the Christians. The left-wing media was jumping for joy and celebrating – pumping their fists into the air – this was what they dreamed for all their lives. Kill massive amounts of Christian people.  Clinton became an iconic hero. The left-wing media suppressed the massive protests across the world. The world, not America, was daily informed of the U.S. genocide against Europeans. 

 

In December 1999 when the United Nations had heard argument by Ramsey Clark and representative of the Hague that Bill Clinton should be tried and executed as a war criminal, Yeltsin stood by the Europeans and supported this. Clinton secretly threatened nuclear war with Russia after which Yeltsin had told Clinton after Clinton to him to shut his mouth that Russia still had a military strength in its nuclear arsenal. Clinton dismissed Yeltsin's comments stating: "I didn't think he'd forgotten that America was a great power when he disagreed with what I did in Kosovo." After secretly threatening Armageddon at that point, Yeltsin resigned and Putin took over in an election in December of 1999.

 

Over 1,000,000 total people were removed from their homes by Bill Clinton, and according to Ramsey Clark’s testimony at the U.N. in November of 1999, Bill Clinton had murdered 11,944 innocent women and children by his indiscriminate aerial bombing.  Unlike the precision missiles used in Gulf War I, to lessen casualties, Clinton denied the use of these guidance missiles to increase the body count. This would appease the Democratic Atheist Party. The more death of Christians the later into the nights these celebration parties took place.

 

Bill Clinton’s remarks that the right-wing is dangerous (to the media in 2009 and 2010 concerning the rise of the Tea – Party movement) remain a continuance for his fight against Christians and peaceful peoples of planet earth. Death and destruction is what excites Bill Clinton and the Democratic Party worships him as a demi-god.  Many in the Tea-Part, regardless of the color of their skin, are in fact Christians. They want to be left alone by the intrusionsist Atheist government.  But the mass Christians murderer is being used by Obama ( who called Bible readers ‘bitter in their traditions!’) to continue the plan to wipe them-off the face of the earth.  The United Nations backing – off Clark’s assessments and in full support of ridding the Christians from the Earth did however admit to killing at most 1,500 civilians – by the Clinton ‘Targeting of civilian areas during Operation Allied Force.’ By the end of the year, most of the Muslim had returned to their homes and the Christians were expelled by the NATO to go live in the forests and die.  When Islam calls on  a Jihad to those who are not proper Muslims or submit to Muslim hegemony, we look to how the Bill Clintons and the NATOs. operate in earth’s modernity. NATO did not have the backing of the United Nations Security Council because the war was opposed by permanent members with ties to Yugoslavia, in particular Russia, who had threatened to veto any resolution authorizing force. NATO argued that their defiance of the Security Council was justified based on the claims of an "international humanitarian emergency". The connection of fear that the Tea Parties may turn out another Timothy McVeigh is propaganda by a mass murder Bill Clinton and his crony Barack Hussein Obama.  Noam Chomsky, Edward Said, Justin Raimondo, and Tariq Ali were prominent in opposing the campaign. However, in comparison with the anti-war protests against the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the campaign against the war in Kosovo aroused much less public support. The television pictures of refugees being driven out of Kosovo during the bombing campaign were employed as propaganda to support the case for NATO's actions. Said died, and Chomsky changed his mind by pressure of the left on him so that he still blames Republicans for all of earth’s histories – although he knows full well that this was a genocide war by the Atheist Democratic Party and NATO ATHEISTS.

 

Clinton project involving the FBI and the CIA code-named Megiddo targeted Christians and allowed the Usama bin Laden group to operate with impunity. “In 1999, the FBI published a report titled Project Meggido, which was a 32-page document warning U.S. law enforcement officials to monitor religious and militia groups that are preparing for a Y2k crisis and inciting citizen resistance against UN plans to inaugurate a New World Order,” reported Barbara Aho for Watch-pair com about the fear of the Atheists at a potential coming Christian Revolution. The report was a surprise; it did not focus solely on radical – fringe elements, but main-streamed religion.  Just as Bill Clinton targeted and mass-murdered Christians in Europe he sought to rile up the home-base Atheists and Anti-Christians ( Moslems) for a full-on assault against Christianity. The report also focuses on University Conservative think – tanks and sought to politicize them as right-wing radical-fringe groups. So while Clinton was defraying weapons of mass destruction for a real global Armageddon, and mass- killing Christians’, he was working doubly hard at eradicating the Christian element in the United States of America.

 

 

 

notes:

In August 2000 the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) announced that it had exhumed 2,788 bodies in Kosovo, but declined to say how many were thought to be victims of war crimes.[69] Earlier however, KFOR sources told Agence France Presse that of the 2,150 bodies that had been discovered up until July 1999, about 850 were thought to be victims of war crimes.

Some of the missing civilians were re-buried in mass graves in Serbia-proper.[citation needed] In July 2001, the Serbian authorities announced the discovery of three;  mass graves containing 836 bodies.

Connecting the Dots and Bill Clinton in 2010

Source for post:

“I have a question: How come we’re supposed to draw (on the basis of no evidence), a connection between conservatism and terrorism, conservative ideology and terrorism? Where is that connection? Yet we are told we must reject, despite tons of evidence, the connection between Islamist ideology and terrorism. So we can’t call Islamist fundamentalists ‘terrorists.’ We can’t even use the word. But we can have ex-presidents and current presidents running around trying to associate conservatives with nonexistent terrorism at peaceful tea parties. Somebody needs to explain this to me…

“We cannot associate radical Islam with terrorism but the president can go out and Obama can go out and try to associate the tea party — genuine, peace-loving, middle-American citizens of this country — with future acts of terrorism? The tea parties, you know why they’re hated? I’ll tell you why they’re hated. If you’re a member of a tea party, if you participated in one yesterday, why you’re hated, why you’re feared: This regime and the Clintons, everybody else knows that all you want to do is defend what’s left of this country and try to rebuild it.”

***
“Responding directly to Limbaugh, Clinton told me, ‘The only point I tried to make was that we ought to have a lot of political dissent — a lot of political argument. Nobody is right all the time. But we also have to take responsibility for the possible consequences of what we say.’

“One of those consequences, Clinton said, was threats against public officials. ‘We shouldn’t demonize the government or its public employees or its elected officials. We can disagree with them. We can harshly criticize them. But when we turn them into an object of demonization, you know, you — you increase the number of threats.’…

“‘I just think we all have to be careful. We ought to remember after Oklahoma City, we learned something about the difference in disagreement and demonization,’ Clinton said.”

***
“Later, under the heading ‘How to use extremism as issue against Republicans,’ Morris told Clinton that ‘direct accusations’ of extremism wouldn’t work because the Republicans were not, in fact, extremists. Rather, Morris recommended what he called the ‘ricochet theory.’ Clinton would ’stimulate national concern over extremism and terror,’ and then, ‘when issue is at top of national agenda, suspicion naturally gravitates to Republicans.’ As that happened, Morris recommended, Clinton would use his executive authority to impose ‘intrusive’ measures against so-called extremist groups. Clinton would explain that such intrusive measures were necessary to prevent future violence, knowing that his actions would, Morris wrote, ‘provoke outrage by extremist groups who will write their local Republican congressmen.’ Then, if members of Congress complained, that would ‘link right-wing of the party to extremist groups.’ The net effect, Morris concluded, would be ’self-inflicted linkage between [GOP] and extremists.’

“Clinton’s proposals — for example, new limits on firearms and some explosives that were opposed by the National Rifle Association — had ‘an underlying political purpose,’ Morris later wrote in another book about Clinton, Because He Could. That purpose was ‘to lead voters to identify the Oklahoma City bombing with the right wing. By making proposals we knew the Republicans would reject…we could label them as soft on terror and imply a connection with the extremism of the fanatics who bombed the Murrah Federal Building.’”

Dick Morris Bombshell: Reno Told Clinton She Stays On or She Blows Whistle on Waco (Video)

Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, April 20, 2010, 5:29 AM ( repost)

During a discussion on The Sean Hannity Show on the anniversary of the Waco Disaster, Dick Morris clamied that Janet Reno told Bill Clinton that either she stayed on as Attorney General or “she’d drop the bomb on Waco.”

Bill Clinton was in the news yesterday for attempting to link the Tea Party movement to terrorist attacks. Clinton blamed conservative talk radio hosts like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, etc. for causing Timonthy McVeigh to bomb the Oklahomea Federal building.

Dick Morris suggested that Janet Reno threatened to leak the goods on Waco unless Bill Clinton kept her on for a second term. Morris tild Sean Hannity that this was the first time that he had divulged this information.

Bill Clinton Gassed and Starved Thousands of Children But Has the Nerve to Lecture Tea Party Protesters on Violence & Civility

Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, April 21, 2010, 5:48 AM

Earlier this week President Clinton lectured the tea party people about violence and civility.
The former president has a lot of nerve. During the Waco Disaster, President Clinton approved of gassing children with CS tear-gas for 48 hours.
The Volokh Conspiracy reported:

[T]here is the post hoc justification for the use of CS tear-gas in the raid offered by the US Justice Department and senior Clinton administration officials. The public generally, and even the Congressional hearings, seem to have accepted that the children at Waco were gassed and then died as, in effect, “collateral damage” in the course of a raid aimed at their parents.

This is not quite the case, however, by the Clinton administration’s own admissions. CS gas was used at the compound, in order, as senior White House adviser George Stephanopoulos said, echoing senior Justice Department statements, to “try and pressure” those in the compound. It was hoped, he said, that as this “pressure was increased, the maternal instincts of the mothers might take over and they might try to leave with their kids” (Washington Times, April 23, 1995).

But the FBI knew beforehand that adults in the compound had gas masks; the gas therefore would not put pressure on them. On whom, then? If the FBI knew that the adults had gas masks, but went ahead with the gas attack anyway, it is plain that this “pressure” was brought directly against the children because, as the FBI knew, they could not fit into adult– size gas masks. “Maternal feelings”, the FBI hoped, would be unleashed in the mothers by watching their children choking, gasping and blistering from the gas.

The plan Reno approved and took to President Clinton for approval contemplated the children choking in the gas unprotected for forty-eight hours if necessary, to produce the requisite “maternal feelings”. By taking aim at the children with potentially lethal gas, their mothers would be compelled, according to the FBI plan repeatedly defended by the Clinton administration afterwards as “rational” planning, to flee with them into the arms of those trying to gas them. [Emphasis added.]

An independent report on Waco written by the Harvard Professor of Law and Psychiatry, Alan A. Stone, for the then Deputy Attorney General Philip Heymann, says it “is difficult to believe that the US government would deliberately plan to expose twenty-five children, most of them infants and toddlers, to CS gas for forty-eight hours”. Unfortunately, however, that appears to have been exactly the plan.

That’s not all…
In 1996 Secretary of State Madeleine Albright told reporters that Bill Clinton’s policy that resulted in 500,000 dead Iraqi children was worth it.
In a much forgotten exchange between Lesley Stahl and Madeleine Albright on “60 Minutes” back on May 12, 1996:

Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that’s more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?

Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: I think this is a very hard choice, but the price–we think the price is worth it.

Here’s the horrifying video:

The United Nations estimated that a total of 1 million Iraqi civilians died as result of the sanctions on Iraq.
This tragedy never seemed to bother Bill Clinton and the Left for some reason.

But, now Bill Clinton and the Left are out lecturing American grandmothers at tea party protests about violence.
It figures.

POLITICO

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0410/36100.html

Former President Bill Clinton’s comments surrounding the Oklahoma City bombing commemoration are “unconscionable” and an “over-the-top” effort to silence critics, Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) said Tuesday.

Clinton has drawn fire for reprising criticism he made of conservative talk radio 15 years in the wake of the bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building that took 168 lives and injured more than 500 others.

“I could not believe it when I first saw the Clinton remarks that he had come out again, 15 years later, and talked about this being precipitated by right wing talk radio,” Inhofe said in an interview for POLITICO’s Arena forum. “This is an over-the-top effort to try to stop a movement of people who aren’t amenable to supporting Obama programs, like cap and trade, government-run health care and closing Gitmo.”

Clinton’s remarks have fostered a spirited back and forth about the role of increasingly heated political rhetoric by tea party protesters and others.

Clinton alludes to 1995 bombing, says words matter

Apr 16, 7:04 PM (ET)

 

WASHINGTON (AP) - Former President Bill Clinton warned of a slippery slope from angry anti-government rhetoric to violence like the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, saying "the words we use really do matter."

 

The two-term Democratic president insisted he wasn't trying to restrict free speech, but in remarks Friday he said incendiary language can be taken the wrong way by some Americans. He drew parallels to words demonizing the government before Oklahoma City.

 

On April 19, 1995, an anti-government conspiracy led by Army veteran Timothy McVeigh exploded a truck bomb outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, killing 168 people.

 

"What we learned from Oklahoma City is not that we should gag each other or that we should reduce our passion for the positions we hold - but that the words we use really do matter, because there's this vast echo chamber, and they go across space and they fall on the serious and the delirious alike. They fall on the connected and the unhinged alike," he said.

 

"One of the things that the conservatives have always brought to the table in America is a reminder that no law can replace personal responsibility. And the more power you have and the more influence you have, the more responsibility you have."

 

Clinton made the remarks at events sponsored by the Center for American Progress Action Fund on the upcoming anniversary of the bombing.

 

He mentioned the rancorous fight over President Barack Obama's health care overhaul. Passage of the law elicited threats against some lawmakers.

 

"I'm glad they're fighting over health care and everything else. Let them have at it. But I think that all you have to do is read the paper every day to see how many people there are who are deeply, deeply troubled," he said.

 

He also alluded to the anti-government tea party movement, which held protests in several states Thursday. At the Washington rally, Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota railed against "gangster government."

 

Clinton argued that the Boston Tea Party was in response to taxation without representation. The current protesters, he said, are challenging taxation by elected officials, and the demonstrators have the power to vote them out of office.

 

"By all means keep fighting, by all means, keep arguing," he said. "But remember, words have consequences as much as actions do, and what we advocate, commensurate with our position and responsibility, we have to take responsibility for. We owe that to Oklahoma City."

Karl Rove: Obama’s Banking Takeover Allows Feds to Monitor Checking Accounts & Credit Cards (Video)

Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, April 22, 2010, 3:52 PM

Like with their nationalized health care bill, democrats want to ram their banking bill through Congress before the American public knows what’s in the bill. And, like with their nationalized health care bill, the state-run media is doing all it can to aide and abet with this immoral and possibly criminal act against the American people.

Karl Rove told Greta Van Susteren last night that the democratic banking bill will allow the feds to monitor checking accounts and credit cards.

Breaking: Senate Democrats Gather In The Rules Committee To Eliminate The Filibuster

Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, April 22, 2010, 12:07 PM

The radicals in Washington are giving the Marxists in Venezuela a run for their money.

Senate Democrats have gathered in the Rules Committee to eliminate the filibuster.

Republican.Senate.Gov reported:

 

THEN-SEN. BARACK OBAMA (D-IL): “What [The American People] Do Not Expect Is For One Party, Be It Republican Or Democrat, To Change The Rules In The Middle Of The Game So They Can Make All The Decisions While The Other Party Is Told To Sit Down And Keep Quiet.” “What they do not expect is for one party, be it Republican or Democrat, to change the rules in the middle of the game so they can make all the decisions while the other party is told to sit down and keep quiet. The American people want less partisanship in this town, but everyone in this Chamber knows that if the majority chooses to end the filibuster, if they choose to change the rules and put an end to democratic debate, then the fighting, the bitterness, and the gridlock will only get worse.” (Sen. Obama, Congressional Record, S.3512, 4/13/05)

 

THEN-SEN. JOE BIDEN (D-DE): “I Pray God When The Democrats Take Back Control, We Don’t Make The Kind Of Naked Power Grab You Are Doing.” (Sen. Biden, Congressional Record, S.5737, 5/23/05)

 

SEN. HARRY REID (D-NV): “The Need To Muster 60 Votes In Order To Terminate Senate Debate Naturally Frustrates The Majority And Oftentimes The Minority. I Am Sure It Will Frustrate Me When I Assume The Office Of Majority Leader In A Few Weeks. But I Recognize This Requirement Is A Tool That Serves The Long-Term Interest Of The Senate And The American People And Our Country.” (Sen. Reid, Congressional Record, S.11591, 12/8/06)

 

•    REID: “Mr. President, The Filibuster Is Not A ‘Procedural Gimmick.’ The Filibuster Is An Important Check On Executive Power And Part Of Every Senator’s Right To Free Speech In The United States Senate.” (Sen. Harry Reid, “Reid Floor Statement On Nuclear Option,” Press Release, 5/17/05)

 

SEN. CHUCK SCHUMER (D-NY) On Any Threat To The Filibuster: “The Basic Makeup Of Our Senate Is At Stake. The Checks And Balances That Americans Prize Are At Stake. The Idea Of Bipartisanship, Where You Have To Come Together And Can’t Just Ram Everything Through Because You Have A Narrow Majority, Is At Stake. The Very Things We Treasure And Love About This Grand Republic Are At Stake.” (Sen. Schumer, Congressional Record, S.4801, 5/10/05)

 

•    SCHUMER: “We Are On The Precipice Of A Crisis, A Constitutional Crisis. The Checks And Balances Which Have Been At The Core Of This Republic Are About To Be Evaporated By The Nuclear Option. The checks and balances which say that if you get 51% of the vote you don’t get your way 100% of the time. It is amazing it’s almost a temper tantrum by those on the hard right. They want their way every single time, and they will change the rules, break the rules, misread the Constitution so they will get their way.” (Sen. Schumer, Congressional Record, S.5208, 5/16/05)

 

SEN. ROBERT BYRD (D-WV): “I Believe That Efforts To Change Or Reinterpret The Rules In Order To Facilitate Expeditious Action By A Simple Majority, While Popular, Are Grossly Misguided.” (“Sen. Byrd Calls Proposed Democratic Changes To Filibuster Rules ‘Misguided,’” The Hill, 2/24/10)

 

SEN. CHRIS DODD (D-CT): “‘I Totally Oppose The Idea Of Changing Filibuster Rules,’ Dodd Said During An Appearance On MSNBC. ‘That’s Foolish, In My View.’” (“Dodd: Changing Filibuster Rules Would Be ‘Foolish,’” The Hill, 2/17/10)

 

SEN. DIANNE FEINSTEIN (D-CA): “Blinded By Political Passion, Some Are Willing To Unravel Our Government’s Fundamental Principle Of Checks And Balances To Break The Rules And Discard Senate Precedent. The nuclear option, if successful, will turn the Senate into a body that could have its rules broken at any time by a majority of Senators unhappy with any position taken by the minority.
