Any fight against an overly oppressive and agressive majority rule in Congress - particularly when that same majority holds all three branches of government - should be met with a measure of respect, not with accusations of tyranny or comparisons to Hitler, as Senator Santorum has shamefully and immorally decided to stain the Senate Floor with.



Santorum should apologize to his Democratic Constituents in Pennsylvania and Democrats across the country for his unacceptable, divisive, and inflammatory remarks.



I applaud the 7 reasonable Republican senators who refused to destroy the trust and deliberative process of the Senate by diffusing the threat of the nuclear option. The reactions by the now pro-nuclear minority against these seven have ranged from disappointment from some to downright threatening from the most extremist leaders.



Santorum, his supporters - these high spending, unethical, immoral "conservative" groups bent on complete, absolute and consolidated power - will make anyone who defies them pay immediately. They are dangerous to democracy, dangerous to American lives and security, and must be defeated at the polls.
