But do tell me more about it.<br /><br />Shutting down avenues of debate in a democracy is a violation of Wisconsin's basic principles.<br /><br />I guess, from your proposed <i>debate->amendments->shame</i> cycle, that you think the Democrats don't actually have anything they want. <br /><br />Check out <a href="http://www.wisdems.org/?no_splash=1" rel="nofollow">WisDems</a> to learn a few of the parties goals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-25319562071858431902011-06-15T20:53:55.872-05:002011-06-15T20:53:55.872-05:00Wow, your comedic wit just doesn't stop. I lo...Wow, your comedic wit just doesn't stop. I love that my SN incites so many quips.<br /><br />I'm all for input if input is what they are really trying to do. However in the recent cases of the democrats, it is not about input but rather delay, delay, delay. Then when time is called they shout shame, shame, shame and yell about subverting the process, which they would have shouted even if the debate were ended after 100, 1000 or 10,000 hours. You know the playbook.<br /><br /><br />I don't like the mouse book either. I prefer Dr. Seuss and my favorite figure in modern literature, The Once-ler from Seuss' classic The Lorax.<br /><br />After all, a thnead is what everyone needs.Reagan's Disciplenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-59411733563508619482011-06-15T18:52:27.481-05:002011-06-15T18:52:27.481-05:00@Jack's Disciple:
