    Good for Cruz & Lee. Keep it up. No surprise that the standard Big Gummint fanbois are weeping and gnashing their teeth at this filibuster while they cheered and partied over the Wendee Davis filibuster. As always - whether they are a hero or a villain depends entirely on the bias and prejudices of the observer. Hurray politics. :P

    Step 1: Paint everyone who disagrees with Cruz as "Big Gummint fanbois"
    Step 2: Accuse everyone who doesn't like the filibuster of hypocrisy without knowing what they think about Davis's filibuster.

    Seems pretty much business as usual.

    A nice list of logical fallacies. In picture form!

    I pretty much think all filibusters are stupid. The idea that you are preventing something from being debated or voted upon seems breathtakingly anti-democratic.

    I would love to get rid of filibusters entirely.

    Filibusters are a double edged sword. They're great when they're on your side, not so much in the reverse scenario.

    Have they ever actually prevented what they were trying to prevent in the long run, or have they always just been political theater?

    No one wants to give up the only tool of power when you are in the minority.
