2010? Really?
-snip-

Yes it's old. I had it bookmarked years ago. If you want current data google it for yourself. The point remains that Reid bottles up tons of bills and claims that the repub in the house don't pass anything is incorrect.

The Republicans in the House don't pass anything that has a prayer in the other two elected chambers of government. The ideology of the President has stayed consistent over time. The ideology of the Senate has become modestly more conservative. The ideology of the House has become much, much more conservative. This is why things like that immigration bill that passed with almost 70 votes in the Senate was DOA in the House.

If you like that, that's fine, but one of these things is not like the others.

To Obama's defense the right wing of the Republican party is fundamentalist and completely crazy and if I was him I wouldn't acknowledge their presence. America needs to vote for non-crazy people and the Republican party needs to get rid of their right wing extremists.

In that vein Palin wants to impeach Obama....

Thanks McCain for giving this opportunistic vapid chatterbox a leg up into the public consciousnesses. Nice Job.

I more or less don't like what the Democrats have done with their stint in power. I'm inclined, if not decisively, to vote Republican this year; and Republicans seem to be doing everything in their power to make me vote Democrat again.

It is amazing. Palin feels left out. Again.
She keeps rerunning her 15 minutes of fame. But with each rerun her 15 minutes become a little shorter and shorter. So she's at what? Her 7.25 minutes of fame? I do hope God has a special place for those so hopelessly mentally challenged.
But its not her faulty.
She is the way she is and forever will be.
I still blame old John. John McCain that is.
He is an old man with the poorest of judgment.
Thats why no one listens when old John gripes about Iraq, terrorist, Afghanistan, or the short comings of adult diapers.
He truly should have retired while he still had a tinge of creditability.
Again, still another poor judgment from John.

As for the law suit, bring it on!
I can already see the republican circus tent, with plenty of clowns, funny colorful outfits, and the loony animal acts all waiting for the go-ahead to proceed.
Lets face it... We all need a good laugh and this will be it.
I wonder if Boehner will wear those fun flappy red clown shoes?

Who's fault is that? It's not the fault of the Democrats. When you keep going further right the only thing left is the cliff to plunge off...

At this point I don't expect anything of you. I'm still waiting for you to actually back up or withdraw that bigot claim.

And the point remains that you posted garbage information and were called on it and even provided with information that showed it was garbage and yet you simply wave your hands and all is well. Sorry, that may work well in your own mind but in the real world, not so much.

I don't like many of the executive orders throughout history, period. I'll even include Lincoln in that. I'm not even referring to executive orders that mainly affect the executive branch and how it conducts business.

Again, the President is part of the executive branch; he especially cannot make laws without Congressional approval and certainly cannot reinterpret existing laws. This is how dictators operate, in grabbing hold of the judicial and legislative branches.

The party-politics as usual people who cannot see this clearly actually frighten me.

He's right. It was settled wrongly by five white men. They couldn't even get a single woman to concur on a birth control ruling.

Last I checked, there were 3 women and 6 men on the supreme court. Why are we ignoring Thomas? Why the hell does it matter that the men were white and omit that a black man (oh, HORROR) agreed with the majority as well? Why does Reid feel the need to say that? If he wants to say it was decided wrongly by 6 men, he'd be making a statement I find less egregious.

One man decided rightly though. So don't blame it all on men. It's funny about Thomas though :)

How so? All 6 men came to the same conclusion, however Kennedy's decision was a concurrence. So 4 men all agreed with Alito's majority decision (Thomas included), and a fifth - Kennedy - had a different way of reaching the same decision. Only the three women dissented. So either 6 men decided wrongly, or Reid is just an idiot.
