      When the Republicans were using the Nuclear Option under Bush, Fox didn't have a problem with it. The Democrats won, and control more seats than the Republicans ever did, and now they are mad about it, so using the Nuclear Option is bad. Well, be careful of what you do, because it may come back and bite you. The Republicans were really nasty when they were in charge, it is only fair that they get some of it back. Wasn't it George W. who mocked the death row inmate who plead for clemency? Wasn't that what compassionate conservatism was all about?

      That's funny, because I call it DEMOCRACY, you traitorous, right-wing, un-amercian SCUMBAG!

      The NUCLEAR option describes how YOUR LOT wanted to change the rules to fruther tighten your gip on the process.

      WHY DO CONSEVATIVES ALL HATE DEMOCRACY?

      YOU LIKE DEMOCRACY? VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT!
      YOU LIKE LIBERTY? VOTE FOR A LIBERAL!

      fox defines a lot of things. For instance, did you know that countries can physically swap places at will?
