Rabenhorst doesn't like the confidence vote fake either. And he links to Werner Schulz's speech as a Word file. I was so bold and made a PDF file out of it.
It's really a tragedy what's going on there and how these Prolethikers are patting themselves on the back as if they've achieved something. The cowards have been given a four-year mandate to overthrow the government - and the only thing they're throwing are the pieces - and that's it.
Sorry, but that was really no masterpiece. One would almost wish that Köhler showed backbone and common sense just once and threw the whole nonsense in the trash. Or that the complaints against the mummers before the Constitutional Court are successful.
Especially absurd is the alleged reason: they want to let the voters decide and expect chances in new elections - sorry, what? What kind of reality loss is that? The state parliaments are not composed differently just because the SPD shirks its responsibility. If the SPD were re-elected, it would have the same state parliaments and thus the same Federal Council in front of it as now.
The Special Democrats can blabber around as they want, what they are doing here is nothing more than shirking their responsibility. They don't want to be re-elected. And the mandate given to them by the voters in the last federal election doesn't interest them either.
