Dems and Reps Agreeing?

[astrosfan90]

Found this a little surprising in this day and age of politics.

Text

This is a positive, reasonable agenda supported by all but a handful of Republicans and by a fair number of Democrats as well.

Not only is it supported by members of both parties, but it's positive and reasonable? Words I haven't heard associated with politics in ages! Are we seeing a close in the giant gap between the parties?

Nice try. All that is is a propaganda piece that is disguised as a bi-partisan support declaration for the GOP agenda.

From your article:

Majority Whip Roy Blunt (R-MO) put it this way: ?Faith, family and hard work bind us together as Americans. Our laws should reflect those priorities, and House Republicans are committed to the American values agenda, policies that stress the core values on which the nation was built.? Blunt is known as a strong backer of virtually all of the pro-family bills under House consideration. Former Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) had been known as the pro-family leader in the House. Blunt has filled the vacuum that DeLay left when he was forced to resign after having been indicted.

Among the items in the package to be voted on over time are: the Pledge Protection Act; the Public Expression of Religion Act; the Marriage Amendment (defeated in the Senate by one vote); the Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act; the Human Cloning Prohibition Act; reform of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives Agency; prohibition of internet gambling; a series of bills aimed at permanent tax relief for families; and more.

Care to bring to light the "majority" of Dems that are supporting those pieces of shi.....uhhh legislation?

What you call positive and reasonable I call horse sh!t. If there is one defining feature of Republicans it is their pretense that they have character and moral values.

"The values agenda is a collection of legislative initiatives that speak to the values many American hold dear,? Boehner said. ?Freedom to display the American flag, freedom of religious expression, the right to keep and bear arms, respect for the sanctity of marriage, and the dignity of all human life."

Your freedom to display the flag is is also your right to burn it. Your freedom of religion is my right to be free of your religion. Your right to bear arms is the curse of thousands of deaths in the ghettos of gunshot woulds. Your respect for marriage is your hate of marriage for same sex lovers while you dittle other women and experience massive levels of divorce. Your dignity of life is my pleasure at living in a scientifically backward nation where cures for diseases never see the light or will have to be made in China. Reasonable and positive to a fool is everything that is upside down.

It's pretty blunt alright. The Religious Republican way or the highway.

Typical paid poster doing the preachings of his church and party.

Psst, dmcowen, I'm not even religious.

I'd be interested to see what Democrats are supporting it as well, particularly since the wording seems to imply that it's more than just a couple of Democrats.

Not if the Dems can help it
