Reading his issues, he does sound much more like a "true conservative" that many of our more liberal members of this forum lament the absence of. While I don't agree with all his positions (abortion), nothing else sounds unreasonable or "nutjobbish" to me.

I'm a nutjob because your highly uninformed regarding the bullshit you are spewing?

Gotcha! :thumbsup:
Wow, stupid, poor reading comprehension, and you can't even remember what you posted. You continue to impress! :thumbsup:

From the OP:
"First the GOP embraces these nutjobs"

Sorry misread I am multitasking right now sort like the President is doing but yet has douchebags like yourself criticizing his every move ;)

And yet, at the end of the day, super majority + president = that doesn't mean shit.


edit: But once again, thanks for proving my point :laugh:

You're a little confused: It's Republicans that all think alike. That all act alike. That all subscribe to the same political philosophy that can be stated in one line:

"Cut taxes; outlaw abortions; block same-sex marriages; drill, baby, drill; let the rich be rich."

Republicans are all marionettes on strings. Put 60 Republicans in the Senate and every bill will get 60 Republican votes.

Democrats actually think for themselves. They all have different beliefs. They're not all clones of each other. Fashioning a bill that will attract 60 Democrat votes is an almost impossible feet.
Um, no. It's really all about blue-dog democrats, who basically are closer to republicans on most issues. The rest of the dems are no different than republicans, different side of the coin, vote in lock-step.

But whatever helps you lay your little partisan head to rest on the pillow :thumbsup:

But I ask again - whose problem is that?
Let's assume for the moment you're correct. Gee, that means you've just contradicted your previous post: According to this NEW post of yours, there are a sizable number of dems who don't automatically vote the party line. So, "super majority + President" DOES mean sh!t.

Which means that that sh!t to which you referred was either in your last post or this one. Your choice.

Hahahaha. You righties are such dummies.
Seems like nobody can seem to answer the question: whose problem is it? And how was it that the GOP managed to pass the following with much smaller majorities?

- Iraq war resolution
- Patriot act
- Telecom immunity
- Medicare part D
etc., etc.

That's really very simple to understand....in Congress there are members called "moderate Democrats" now these are people who typically can vote either way.

On the Republican side of the aisle there are hardly ANY moderate Republican's left so it was very easy to push legislation through congress because all there members pretty much voted the party line no matter what.

Oh don't forget that there was a Republican Majority too and if they had any problems passing legislation they would filibuster sort like when Bush fucked over the middle class with his tax credit to the rich.

This concept has explained to you numerous time but you seem either reluctant to accept it or don't have the mental capacity to understand simplistic issues like this?

And you think I am stupid? lmfao

Dude you are absolutely pwned! Do us ALL a favor shut the fuck up and crawl back into your hole.

Ayup. You've been consistent enough on that issue over the past 6 years or so that I think you're kidding yourself if you purport to be something other than a Republican!
I guess I would call somebody a republican/democrat if they actively supported/campaigned/voted for one party over the other, not where they fall on issues. If you have to refer to me as something binary to make yourself feel better, go right ahead. I think you're smart enough to know that issues aren't ever binary, but perhaps you're partisan enough that you can't admit it.

Just wondering who you argue with when you are alone or don't have internet access? Arguing with yourself might get ya a one way ticket to a rubber room ;)
Don Vito messed up the quotes, there I fixed it. Seriously - are you going for the new record of stupid posts in a thread? Phokus + Dave = Ausm?

A bunch of crazies who repeat talking points andhave hissy fits in town halls while knowing nothing about the issues? While carrying crazy signs...

So answer the question.

The Republican's started their move to the far right when Reagan was president and also it didn't help because of poor leadership which alienated the more moderate Republican's. So now there are mostly hardliners left in the Republican party.

Can you sleep now I answered your question lol fucking a

Now answer my question who do you argue with when your alone and without an Internet connection?

Gotchya. It's the republican's fault that the democrats can't gather enough support in their own party to pass their own legislation.

It's really a stupid question, par for the course for you. But I have a general policy of answering most any question asked of me.

When my internet connection is down, I don't argue politics with anyone. I honestly have never met anyone as fucked up IRL as many of the right wingers, moonbats, anarchists, conspiracy theorists, etc. on P&N, although my guess is when on the internet the claws come out and the rest of the time they are indistinguishable from others.

Someday I'm going to meet Dave, we're very close as well. Perhaps a midwest get together?
