If the Democrats do not filibuster, they will be revealed as co-dependents of the Bushist traitors, as much tied into the lies and treachery as the family of an alcoholic that provides 'cover' for his or her drug abuse. In that case, you must break the co-dependency, even though it is difficult, even though you think your whole life will collapse, for you are allowing and encouraging and a part of the malignancy.
Don't try to be politically clever about it, that's a part of co-dependency, that's the way that seeks to make use of lies.
