Most people that know me understand that I am not a "Christian" who equates my faith with a Republican vote. As a matter of fact, I really do not understand why conservatives in the church are selling out for things that are not "kingdom values". It seems that many in the church are willing to overlook hypocrisy and games in Washington simply because the Republican party is assumed to be the lesser of two evils.
That said, I want to be clear that my rant here is not at all affiliated with those who "worship with their vote."
But crap, the people on the left are bitter. Far left democrats are consistently spewing hatred and inconsistent crap that their followers take in without question. Here is a challenge to anyone on the far left. Please be intellectually honest. See politics for what it is and understand...politicians are politicians. They are going to be dishonest and they are going to make many decisions that are best for them, not for you. It is ok to say it.
Here is my take...the deal that was just cut with the judicial nominees and the filibusters...the left will continue to block.

the only "up-side" to their continued obstructionism is that 7 dems are saying that they won't filibuster...meaning that on any nomination not deemed "extraordinary" will receive an up-or-down vote on the floor. (55 Republicans and 7 Democrats affords the 60 votes, and then some, to have a cloture vote)
This is a great deal if these 7 stick to their guns in the face of party condemnation. And if they don't? Well, either the 7 republicans are going to have to agree with them that this is indeed an "extradordinary case" or seeing as the Dems breached the deal - so can the Republicans.
All in all, if these guys don't hold up to their end of the bargain, neither do we. The question is, will the sell-outs "break" the deal as well? THAT'S what I'm scared of.
Let's just hope that the 7 Dems are as big of disappointments to their party as the 7 Republicans are to us.
