After Obama and the dems in the senate once again cave to GOP demands on the Keystone pipeline to get only a two month extension, Boehner rejects it on Sunday after calling it a good deal on Saturday.
This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the only thing that matters to Boehner and the...

No surprise to us Texans it's been pretty much public knowledge for a long time, but Perry had done a pretty good job of keeping it under wraps the last few years since they completely painted over the name in 2008. But during the 80's and 90's Perry was pretty open about using the name with his...
Boehner thumbs his nose at Obama! This kind of blatant disrespect for the office of President is just disgusting. I can't imagine this happening in any other Administration.

It seems the President and Speaker of the House are close to agreement on a "Grand Bargain" framework that would include immediate spending cuts and would require congress to increase revenue through tax reform and make substantive cuts to entitlement programs.

Color me shocked :confused:
I never expected his run was anything but a stunt, but I suspect there will be many surprised since he did so well in preliminary polling
Trump promised to release his tax returns when Obama released his birth certificate.

But when asked repeatedly yesterday about his promise the Donald ignored the reporters and didn't respond.
I have been hearing over and over the last few days pundits and commentators who are against raising taxes arguing that "If you raise taxes the government will just find a way to spend the increased revenue"
This implies that spending and revenue are somehow connected and that if you raise...

Just in the last few days everyones avatar that had yellow in it now shows as lime green?
I noticed it first in Rubycons avatar, but it happens on others also
I've noticed this from several puters at work and home.
Key liberal Dennis Kucinich who originally voted against the House bill has now committed to voting for the Senate bill.
With unanimous republican opposition and 26 dems voting no, the opposition is now 12 votes short of killing the bill. IMO the odds of the opposers convincing 12 more dems...
Now that the Republicans have the 41 votes needed to procedurally block the UHC legislation should the Democrats use the reconciliation procedural process to pass some form of healthcare reform with less than 60 votes?
Anyone had any luck doing this?

Although he has already issued a contrite apology this is totally unacceptable behavior for a Congressman IMO. The Presidents opponents have lost all sense of decorum and decency.
In the last few days I've noticed that if I edit a post I made and then go back in to edit it again only the text from the original post is visable/editable.
The timing of this seem to coinside with me installing IE8 release client, so I'm pretty sure this must be an IE8 bbs bug?
