    Southern Comfort

    Those hillbillies have shown their true colors

    Luckily, they failed

    Bush doesn't want the Big 3's death on his 'legacy'

    But, this is a warning

    The Republicans will oppose Obama's programs

    They'll try to frustrate his efforts and demand pay offs

    When the new Congress opens, they have to End the Filibuster

    It only takes a 50 vote majority to end this obsolete custom

    End the filisbuster and you've de-fanged the Republicans

    Let Obama get his whole program through, unobstructed

    Abolish the Filibuster

    Southern states get more in expenditures than they pay in taxes

    Industrial states paye more in taxes than they get in benefits

    {ut an END to that nonsense
