  1. +++ What does +++ mean? Does it mean that you WISH that businesses would be operated in an ethical and socially responsible manner? Does it mean that there should be regulatory intervention from state and/or federal government agencies to make this form of employment discrimination illegal? Yes to #1 is what I expect for an answer from you and your kind. Otherwise you would be expanding the government powers and removing choices from the free market. That would be quite progressive. And that ain't how you all roll. Why should the government regulate how the free market for employment works? Why should businesses be forced to accept un-employed job candidates, Asian job candidates, Mexican job candidates, female job candidates, or any other people that are deemed "undesirable" by the management? Must be a weird liberal idea that actually caught on. Kinda like the weird Union ideas about sick time, vacation time, overtime, and that kind of thing. We all take it for granted, but RWCs conveniently forget how these things came to be.
  2. This is a perfect example of how the power of owning the media message can teach people to believe things that are not factually correct. What sounds plausible and believable is actually totally and completely wrong, as defined in the rule of LAW. Yet credulous people will repeat, over and over, that which is worng, even when corrected with FACTUAL information. The USA is screwed. The media presents bullshit to the masses and they fall for it, hook, line, and sinker. Critical thinking in tandem with factual accuracy still gets parroted responses from the credulous. When parroted bullshit is passed of as real thinking, we're fucked. Happens all the time now with the RWCs, as their side owns all of the mass media.
  3. The cause of the lack of funding can be connected to many causes. The tax cheating companies exposed in another thread are one cause. The other cause is the absurdly low income cap for FICA taxes. Eliminate the income cap completely, remove the exemption for capital gains, and the problem is solved forever. This change would allow the tax rate to go DOWN drastically, in terms of percentage of income, for all taxpayers. Of course, RWCs would NEVER do anything to even out the tax rates between low and high income folks. Any RWC that has been well trained by their media masters knows that the high income folks are kinda godlike and richly deserve to pay less, in terms of a pecentage of income, than the rest of us. If we leveled the rates, the country would fall apart. The gullible RWC morons know that is the official gospel. Believing otherwise is a sign of too much education, too much intellect, and having a real grasp of the facts of the matter.
  4. I would appreciate it if the RWC morons would do some fact checking before following the assholes on Faux news blindly down the path of DUMB AS DIRT, ANTI-CONSTITUTION, AMERICA HATING IDIOCY!!!! Are you morons too stupid to use Google maps? The site of the facility is NOT at ground zero. It is blocks away. For the rural morons, that is a long way, when measured in Manhattan distances. Why do you despise the constitutional protections of freedom of religion? Could it be that you don't really believe in that, unless your leaders appove the religion? If you had learned basic civics, you would know that isn't how it works. Quite the opposite. Why was a Shinto Shrine built in Pearl Harbor? Why aren't you Constitution hating idiots all whipped into a frenzy over that? That TRULY is a religious facility built in the area of GROUND ZERO for the heinous attack that pushed the USA into WWII. Shinto is the religion that was the official religion of Japan at that time. Learn and respect the lessons of history and calm down!! Your complete lack of respect for the ideals and morals that this country is supposed to stand for is disgusting. Violating the Constituion because you have been tricked into hating a religion is quite twisted. How do you manage to look in a mirror without feeling like gullible fucknuggets? DUMB AS DIRT, and really proud of it. Ignorance is a curable state. Utter stupidity apparenty is quite contagious if you are an RWC. Read and learn a bit and you can overcome the corrosive influence of the hatemongers at Faux Spews.
  5. This is the program started under ShrubCo and continued by the Obama administration. It was a bad idea then and it continued to be a bad idea now. Credit where credit is due, correct? Not if you are an RWC. I am quite confident that this little pearl of FACT has been completely ignored by the Right Wing biased corporate media. RWCs are swallowing the revisionist history as presented by the folks who think for them, hook, line, and sinker. What else is new? Facts and knowlege have no place in the modern RWC world. Only opinions, especially those that are based in the fantasyland presented by the Reicht Wing media that is truthful and factual at all times. NOT!
  6. I wonder if your lords and masters, the Koch brothers, would appreciate how much time you waste at work on the Dropzone.com Speakers Corner. Aren't you a better person than to steal from your masters in this way? As a supposedly morally superior being, how do you square your theft with your so called "morals and ethics"?
  7. How do you rationalize the shitstorm of bullshit the Rescumlicans are spewing and that gullible nitwits actually believe? The bullshit about how the "debt crisis" is going to ruin the country. The debt crisis CREATED by the forseeable outcome of Rescumlican policies. The bullshit about how letting the TEMPORARY TAX CUTS implemented by ShrubCo expire AS THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO will somehow cause the economy to implode? One can only be "talked down to" when one is so stupid as to be unable to measure up to the intellect of the speaker. It sounds like you called it perfectly. You and your kind are not in the same league at all when compared to an Ivy League college graduate. Especially one who earned an advanced degree. Dumb fucks get to vote, just like smart people do. The evidence shows that there are a SHITLOAD of dumbfucks voting. Look at the results of the 2010 election. Dumbfucks elected a whole passel of dumbfucks as reps and senators. Look at the disaster they have wrought. And there are some dumbfuck RWCs that are so stupid that they believe that doing nothing will help. Why do RWCs HATE the poor the elderly, and the young? Why must the budget be balanced on their backs, while rich folks do NO SACRIFICE at all? Explain how this is good for the country. Still working for a Koch company, Marc? Are you happy to be on the side of the rapists of the country? Makes you feel real good, doesn't it?
  8. Actually, the Reagan congress was Dem controlled. Funny how you don't mention the Dems blasting it into orbit over the last 3 years...since you want to talk about facts. For something that wasn't on budget, y'all sure were able to find the numbers to bitch about what was being spent. Guess it wasn't that invisible after all. Speaking of responsible... has Obama finally taken responsibility for the last two years, or is that still Bush's fault? Have you failed to follow the news recently? Do you not get that almost everything that the Obama administration and the Demcratic congress tried to do was stymied by the gross abuse of the filibuster in the Seante? Are you really so clueless that you don't know or care about how the Senate is supposed to work, and what the Rescumlicans have done to fuck up its operations completely? Is your memory so weak that you can't recall the Rescumlicans pitching a bitch in 2005 over the Democrat's use of the filibuster to stop ShrubCo to some extent? Right Wing Conservatives hate the USA, especially the poor and old people. Why else would you scumbags support cutting programs that help them, while keeping TEMPORARY tax cuts in place during a time of a national fiscal crisis? The crisis caused by the practical application of RWC policies. HEY ASSHOLES, the Bush tax cuts were supposed to expire after ten years. Remember the marketing bullshit you suckers fell for? "Were're giving your own money back to you with these tax cuts since we have a budget surplus now." Now we need the tax cuts to end and the Rescumlicans held the poor and unemployed hostage to extend them for two more years. Rich people grinding the poor into the dirt, cheered on by asshole RWCs. It might be time to apply some second amendment remedies to the obstructionists and the supporters that are holding the USA hostage to the extremely wealthy. RWCs are dumb as dirt, and really proud of it. Fucking awesome... The Texas education system seems to produce very poorly educated people. People who know little or nothing outside of the state. People who know squat about world history, world politics, and how the USA fits into that picture. Why don't you useless fucks go ahead and secede from the USA and quit taking MY tax dollars and wasting them in YOUR state? Your governeor has spoken openly about it, and you useless fucks didn't punt him out of office for being a traitor.
  9. Except they're NOT fact, but your opinion. Republicans controlled Congress from 95 - 07. During that time, the debt went from 4.8T to 8.7T (unadjusted numbers). That's roughly a 3.9T increase, or 885M / day. Democrats took over in 07, debt is now 14.3T - roughly a 5T increase, or 3.4B / day. 146% the increase, in 38% of the time. Debunked, above. And fixed that for you again. The time frame you selected is short. Very short. The disasterous spending patterns by Republicans started with the Reagan Adminstration, carried on through Shrub1, and was drastically accelerated by Shrub2. The facts are indisputable, if you looked into it. You take a tiny slice of recent history, spew twisted statistics, and pretend that what you wrote actually makes sense. You are blissfully unaware that ShrubCo did NOT have the Iraq and Afghanistan activities ON BUDGET. The sleazy fuck and the other sleazebag Republicans let him munge the budget numbers by doing special appropriations, instead of putting the costs ON BUDGET. In other words, they successfuly fooled a lot of ignorant, gullible people into believing that the budget numbers weren't really as bad as they actually were by LYING to you. Hello, your team is a pack of lying weasels, and you actually back them up via your willfull ignorance of the FACTS of the matter. They have lied to you, and you are really happy with that. You eat that bullshit up willingly and repeat the bullshit back like it is real. It isn't. When will you ever learn? One of the very first things that the Obama administration did was put the Iraq and Afghanistan activities BACK ON BUDGET. In other words, the Dems actually did what you say you think is a good thing - FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY. Now that the true costs of what YOUR TEAM committed us to has been revealed, you are blaming it on the current adminstration, and you are all pissed off about it. Blame those that are responsible, not those that are trying to clean up after those that were responsible.
  10. Funny how you think they were facts in the first place. Yup, that's you. Fixed that for you. Jeannie has it exacly correct. You have your fingers in your ears and are acting like a child. The FACTS are posted are just that. I am well aware that the facts conflict with your OPINION. The point that is escaping you is that your opinion is not based on factual information. Your opinion is based on RWC misinformation that is widely distributed. The misinformation is presented in a way that seems factual. If one does not have the intellectual curiosity and ability to independently verify the misinformation provided, one could come to believe things that are factually incorrect. Things like "Republicans shrink government, Democrats grow it", and "Republicans are the party of fiscal responsibility, and Democtrats are not". Both statements are readily uttered by RWCs. Both statements can easily be proven to be factually incorrect by basic staistical analysis. But all that intellectual mumbo jumbo is meaningless. The facts don't really matter to RWCs. Just their beliefs. Facts are annoying details that must be discarded when they conflict with the beliefs.
  11. Yes, we see that you're back posting. When you going to provide some? Thus, we have YOUR posts. We keep hoping for you to "come around", yes. Funny how you don't have any argument with the FACTS I posted. As has been demonstrated by scientific research, RWCs will NOT change their opinions, even when presented with FACTUAL information that completely debunks their opinion. In other words, don't confuse me with the facts, my mind is made up, and that's that. RWCs will stay blissfully ignorant, spewing bullshit that has no basis in reality. No amount of accurate information can overcome the belief system. Exactly like small children. Facts and reason are beyond their comprehension.
  12. Ignorance is NOT bliss... Especially WILLFUL ignorance. Marriage has NOT almost always been defined throughout history as one man one woman. That is an ignorant construct marketed by RWCs to the gullible. The Bible has plenty of stories of polygamous relations. The ancient Greeks had homosexual relationships that were recognized by their governments. There are parts of the world, for example, Africa, where polygamous relationships are the norm. The house of Saud, aka, the folks that run Saudi Arabia, are polygamous. In the USA, marriage is between two people, at least in the civilized parts. Polygamy is not a relationship model that has been recognized or approved of by USA society or the USA legal system. The folks that are interested in polygamous relationships are free to have them. If they would like legal and social approval, they are free to pursue that. The people on the Big Love TV show are suing to allow polygamous relationships to be legal. That is how the system here works. If they can come up with a compelling legal argument, they might win, if the judge is NOT a right wing activist. Homosexuals should be allowed to marry the person of their choice. That are entitled to be as miserable as the rest of the people who get married. With a divorce rate of ~50%, it is clear that respect for the institution of marriage is rather limited.
  13. I thought that RWCs believed in small government, personal freedom, and individual responsibility. Apparently not. How can this kind of hipocracy not slap the RWCs upside the head and knock some sense into them? It is truly AMAZING how blind the RWCs are to how the leaders of their side talk out of two sides of their mouths.
  14. _____________________________ Let us just cut the crap... The Democrats want a big government that makes all your rules for you and takes care of you. they will give away everything to buy your vote and someday they will form a dictatorship and all you progressives will live happier ever after.. The Republicans what a small government with less rules and less tyranny . and people would be responsible for themselves . and instead of creating "welfare families who suck the government tit and are happily content with a meager living, instead of standing up for themselves . BWWAAAKKKK, the parrots are at it again.... Why is it that RWCs cannot and will not read and understand FACTUAL history? The FACTS show that growth of the goverment and spending has been MASSIVE under Republican rule. Far more than anything that has occured under Demcratic rule. The FACTS show that the Republicans GROW government, not shrink it. The biggest expansion of the goverment happened on ShrubCo's watch. The FACTS show that the Republicans want MORE intrusive government control over citizen's personal lives, not less. Especially if you are female. All the anti-abortion horseshit that has been proposed has been by Republicans!! The Patiot Act is a Republican disaster that has REDUCED our freedom, not increased it. You are entitled to your opinion, no matter how much the opinion is based in fantasy, not factual information. If you bothered to actually become educated as to the FACTS of the issues, your views might evolve. You might be one of the few RWCs that actually can change deeply held beliefs when you learn that those beliefs are based in bullshit, not accurate information.
  15. And all that clueless right wing conservatives do is wallow in their ignorance and repeat the talking points provided by their leaders. ShrubCo, et al, raised the debt ceiling SEVEN TIMES in eight years. Borrowed trillions for invasions and occupations, AKA, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, while CUTTING TAXES FOR THE EXTREMELY WEALTHY!!! How do you think that we got where we are now? Rescumlicans borrowing money and spending it like drunken sailors, starting in 1980 with Ronald Reagan. You whining sacks of shit can go to hell. Obama is playing politics perfectly. He has been ready, willing and able to compromise. He has led the Rescumlican leaders into a trap. He has them pinned like the RATS that they are. Now he is turning up the political heat by holding the Republicans accountable for their indefensible political position on this matter. All of the sacfifice to "fix" the budget deficit cannot be on the backs of the poor, the young, and the elderly, unless you are a real asshole, and support really assholistic politics. SHARED SACRIFICE, starting with those that have had a gravy train for the past nine years, will get us out of this mess. If you right wing shitheads don't pull your heads out of your asses and start being patriotic, for real, the scumbags you elected will drive the country off the financial cliff.
  16. Your understanding of the tax code is quite the parroting of the mass media marketing of what has has really hosed up the US economy. Take a step back and do some research on the history of the tax code and what has changed over the past thirty years. Don't forget to take into account just how well the economy did when taxes were radically different than they are now. Capital Gains taxes are now at 15%. Capital gains used to be taxed at the same rates, and higher, than ordinary income. The concept that was well understood at the time is that this type of income has nothing to do with ones labor or effort. It has to do with timely inheritance of investments and property, as well as picking those tangible assets that are likely to gain value over time. This type of income can and should be taxed at rates comparable to ordinary income. The tax code has been greatly re-written to the benefit of the extremely wealthy and polically connected corporations. Taxes are at their lowest rate EVER. Tax evasion and off-shoring profits is now considered to be good business practices, not a morally odious and ethically evil practice, as it used to be. Corporations do everything they can to privatize revenue while pushing costs to government. We the people let them do this to us piecemeal, starting with Reagan, and moving right on to modern politics. Credulous people jump on the bandwagon for the so called party of small government that actually is the party for the extremely wealthy. The rich are making out like bandits now. So are the major corporations. Due to the extremely low taxes these days, they have no incentive to put that money back into the economy. Remember tax writeoffs? The combination of high taxes and generous writeoffs = a booming economy. Force the wealthy to either pay higher taxes, or to spend the money. The writeoffs will be made up by the taxes paid on the money as it recirculates in the economy. The stagnant situation due to low taxes is the problem. The cheating of the system by executives structuring their pay packages for more capital gains and less ordinary income will go away when the capital gains tax gets back to comparable levels as ordinary income. Taxes should be lowest on labor, as a percentage of income, and highest on capital gains, not the reverse, as it is now. The US economy worked a lot better when this was the case. And that was during my lifetime.
  17. Solution - tell the unions (which are corporations) to refund the dues money to these employees. After all, the unions are there for the workers, right? Ohhhh. Wrong. A union giving money to anyone but a politician? Not gonna happen. it's too bad you cannot see all sides of this. It's too bad that you care so damned little about the taxpayers that you think they all should support chosen class. Go tell the 75 percent of the people making less than these poor government employees how they should pay more taxes in order to make sure they are okay, I dare you! Because you don't give a rats ass - PERIOD - about the rest of the people. You've got your chosen class. The anointed. And face it - you're a lackey for the greed of corporations. Namely unions, who cut millions off the top of the salaries of these people. While you're telling the working man and woman that they should poay more to support the government employees, tell the unions that they should quit taking millions from these employees. Yeah, right. You like those corporations. They can fuck over their members without any accusations, right? You don't give two shits about taxpayers. Or about workers. You give a rats ass about corporations, greed, and the chosen elites whom you feel everyone should just pay up to support. You DESPISE the working class. You HATE Joe sixpack. You CANNOT STAND that they don't want to pay taxes so that your cronies can receive more benefits. FUCK THE WORKING MAN!!!! GO FICK HIM! FUCK HIS KIDS! FUCK THEM ALL! Government employees need free health care and retirements! And FUCK THE ASSHOLES WHO WON'T PAY FOR IT. You just don't give a shit about the working people. Only those who work for the government. The best times in the USA were back when taxes were highest on the top earners in the country. Right now, taxes are at their lowest level, across the board, for everyone. Yet moron bastard shitheads are led to believe that taxes are TOO HIGH, and that TAX CUTS will make everything right. Cut all social services, borrow money from China to pay for the tax cuts, and the economy will recover. Reaganomics, assholes. That shit is voodoo economics. It doesn't work. We have been doing that for 30 years, and look where we are. The corporate media has gotten even educated people like lawrocket to start shitting on everyone who isn't rich. Lawrocket bought some property a few years ago. How'd that work out for you? Underwater much? Happy with the banking system and regulators? Didn't think so... Working people, either government or privately employed, have seen their real wages GO DOWN for the past 30 years, while the wealthiest people have had their incomes SKYROCKET, due to the tax policies implemented by the politicians that they buy like chattel. These same people control almost all of the media and get dumbasses, aka, the right wing sheeple, to support policies that are REALLY BAD for the dumbasses. The dumbasses keep lapping up the bullshitand regurgitating it. The dumbasses are incapable of digesting the material. They can't understand WHY things are the way they are. LOOK IN THE MIRROR, assholes. The fuckwits that think that screwing over public and private employees by reducing their wages and benefits are cutting ALL of our throats, not just the short term victims. You scumbags are driving the middle class in the USA off a cliff, happily and with great glee. For some reason the fact that YOU are going to be victims too, as society disintegrates, is completely beyond your ability to comprehend. You follow the corporate masters and screw over your fellow citizens, and appear to be rather proud of it. What the fuck is wrong with you assholes? Why do you hate the middle class and average people in the USA so much that you are willing to drive wages and benefits down so as to pay for TAX CUTS for corporations and the wealthy? Thanks for your hard work at ruining the USA. When your shit goes down the tubes you'll be standing there wondering how it happened. Medicare for ALL people in the USA was the correct answer to the health care nightmare. That "socialized medicine" system WORKS!!! It works really well, except for the money wasted keeping nearly dead people going for a few extra months. The USA is the only first world country that allows FOR PROFIT medical insurance companies to operate. Why do we let one third of the dollars spent on medical costs to disappear into the corporate pockets as profits and obscene salaries for executives? Because they have the money, own the politicians, and own the media outlets that fool people into thinking that we have a great system. You weasel shits that squawk about "SOCIALISM" can't even explain what it is. The explanations from the weasel shits make it sound like all government services are BAD. Fire services, police services, public roads, public parks, public beaches, and public schools are all examples of "SOCIALISM" that works. A single payer system that provided a basic level of medical care for ALL citizens, would save us all a ton of money. No more 30 pecent GONE in overhead and salaries. The "death panels" that whipped the RWCs into a frenzy are already in place. It is the bean counters at the insurance companies that are the "death panels". Their pay and bonuses depend on how many people are DENIED insurance coverage for medical conditions.
  18. Imagine that... Money taken away from honest working people and given to corporations and the wealthy in the form of TAX CUTS. All cheered on by right wing idiots who hate average working people with a passion. The right wing idiots who are in favor of keeping huge tax cuts for corporations and the extremely wealthy in place, while cutting services for the poor, the elderly, and the disabled. Why do you fucking assholes hate your fellow citizens so much? Why do you love corporations and the wealthy so much? Why do you want to finish the destruction of the middle class? Driving down wages and benefits does NOT help the country in any way, dumbshits. What the fuck is wrong with you assholes?
  19. Pointing out that Bachmann is demonstrably a moron has nothing to do with her gender. It has to do with the fact that she IS a moron. The evidence has been accumulating ever since she entered the public arena. It takes a willfull blindness to the facts in her history to think otherwise. She is totally unqualified to be dog catcher, let alone a congressman. Yet a lot of really stupid people have been convinced to vote for her, repeatedly. Given her "education", she is a prime example of how the once proud Republican party has descended into the sewer and is scraping up unqualified incompent morons and passing them off as qualified candidates. She has no actual accomplishments, EVER, in anything she ever tried. She is a stellar example of corporate media marketing electing an incompetent idiot. The Rolling Stone article is excellent. The facts are quite clear. http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/michele-bachmanns-holy-war-20110622 Electing morons is no way to turn this country around. Electing the best and the brightest, from the TOP educational institutions, is the way to go.
  20. Not exactly, I was referring to the fact that humans control their sex lives. We choose where, when and with whom we have sex. Sex is not mandatory. People can live without it. Therefore, learn personal responsibility and stop behaving like an out of control adolescent. (Not you specifically, a generality.) Ron, the part about you that creeps me out is what I have seen in your eyes when I have interacted with you. I lived in the SF Bay area for a long time. I have finely tuned "gaydar", as in, I can almost always tell when some is gay, even if they aren't "out" about it. I have seen in your eyes the inner conflict you experience every day, trying to hide those feeling that you have been taught are so wrong and evil. You cover yourself in the mantle of Jesus, while suppressing the true nature of your being. That is why you despise gay people, because if it wasn't for your faith and will, you would be one of them, if you let nature take it's course. The conflict shows in your eyes, bigtime. It is very creepy to see someone struggling so hard against what they truly are. Allow me to point out that God's love covers us all. God made us all. God doesn't make junk. Gay people are a product of God's love, just as heterosexual people are. There is nothing "wrong" or "broken" about them. They are just as God made them. In his image, just like you were. It is the height of arrogance to pretend that YOU, due to your "christianity" are somehow superior to those evil "others", who are different than you are. God made us all, and he doesn't make junk. False "christians" such as yourself will have a lot to answer for when you get to meet your maker.
  21. Just the fact of you posting this means you know your post is false! Anthony Dickhead needed to go Good riddance If you got a bitch take it up with Pelosi and Obama What is your explanation of why Weiner has to go, but not Vitter? A lack of moral and ethical consistency is a logical and reasonable conclusion. What other explanation can there be? You can't tell the difference between right and wrong. That is a core principle for an RWC.
  22. Neither can you. You talking about ANYONE parroting talking points is fucking hilarious. From Senate.gov (those RWC parrots): "Senate leadership has increasingly made use of cloture as a normal tool for managing the flow of business on the floor, even at times when no evident filibuster has yet occurred. These considerations imply that the presence or absence of cloture attempts cannot be taken as a reliable guide to the presence or absence of filibusters." Maybe you should have done some of that research you keep speaking of before running your yap. Sure thing, skippy - because it was REALLY Boehner that said we have to pass the healthcare bill before we can see what's in it, right? In other words, you can't come up with FACTS that support your opinion. That means you resort to the usual RWC bullshit of deflect, lie, and change the subject to confuse like minded nitwits. You can't tell the difference between a cloture vote and a filibuster, so you sling a load of bullshit. NICE... Rescumlicans can't read and understand complex bills in a timely manner, and that is the Democrat's fault? In what reality does anyone actually fall for that crap? Right Wing La-La land, apparently. If the folks you assholes elect refuse to do their jobs, DON"T VOTE FOR THEM. Why won't RWC's man up and take actual responsibility for their actions? Because in Right Wing La-La land, there is no such thing as the truth. Only opinion and bluster, with a healthy measure of willful blindness thrown in.
  23. The RWC morons who whinge and whine about "Liberal Media" and "Liberal Media Bias" can now shut the fuck up, FOREVER. The proof that the corporate media in the USA is severely slanted towards the right wing is here in all its glory. Anthony Weiner appears to have been forced to resign due to the relentless coverage of his stupid behavior, lies, and using Twitter to flirt recklessly and inappropriately with consenting adults. No laws were broken, unlike David Vitter's actions. David Vitter patronized prostitutes and performed consensual perverted acts with them, in multiple jurisdictions. There has been no call for Vitter to resign. None. The acts that Vitter performed were ILLEGAL, and happened in multiple jurisdictions. Yet he was NOT forced to resign from the House. He was allowed to keep his seat, and ended up being elected to the Senate by his constituents. Weiner's constituents aren't going to have a choice, apparently. I do not expect to EVER hear any more lies or other bullshit about "Liberal Media Bias" ever again. Can any RWC explain how David Vitter gets a pass for his ILLEGAL activities that occurred in multiple jurisdictions, while Anthony Weiner's stupid, but not illegal acts, mean that he must resign? Anyone?
  24. Like I wrote, do some research on filibustering. If you think that this is true, you would be 100% wrong. In the past 20 years the GOP has filibustered at a rate, on average, 42% more than the Democrats. You both realize that the presence of a cloture vote does not necessarily mean that a filibuster occurred, yes? So what is your figure, then? Don't have one, sorry. In other words, you can't defend your opinion, or dispute the facts. You can't admit that the Republicans are totally in the wrong on this matter, so out comes the RWC talking points, repeated like a good RWC parrot. When does respect for the Constitution and the rule of law come into play, if an RWC? Never, unless it is in favor of the talking points. Moral and ethical hypocrisy is part and parcel of what the RWCs have descended to.
  25. Like I wrote, do some research on filibustering. If you think that this is true, you would be 100% wrong.
