Cloture

What an ugly word.

Okay, so the filibuster was killed. No surprise there. It was good to try, anyway. I want people - Democrat of Republican - made to go on record as to where they stand and what they are made of.

Last count I heard, 19 Democrats voted against it.

I want every single one of them primaried.

Would I vote for such a Democrat in preference to a Republican? Sure.

But the primary is where you can vote on pure principles. Not for "the lesser of two evils." Or for "wishy-washy" instead of "evil."

Every single one of those people should challenged hard for the privilege of keeping his seat.
