Now, the fight is with politicians > who only have money on their side. I call this progress. :-) Your sarcasm is well placed. ;-) I would only conjecture that from my perspective too many ultra-conservative politicians (which by definition these days means they are most likely of the Republican persuasion) claim they have God on their side when, in truth, they have fallen under the seductive spell of worshipping the worst false idol of them all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Id6oS3L-D9A These days it's called worshipping the wrath of the debt ceiling. What better way to show allegiance to such a seductive Idol than to stage another dramatic filibuster. PS: I am not bashing Republicans. I've spoken to Republicans who tell me they are pissed off at how their party has been taken over and abused by a minority of irrational conservatives. I sincerely hope the more rational portions will be able to once again reclaim the party's good name. Shoot! I used to be a republican myself .that is until conservative activists like Phyllis Schlafly took over way back the Regan era. It was all downhill after that. I had had enuf.
