it's a crappy law, who cares who put it up? another resolution pushed forth that does nothing to grow the economy, or build jobs... it's garbage like that which will assure that the reps majority in the house won't last past the next election. they take their chance to do something worthwhile, and produce a bs resolution like that. bravo.

Did I say introducing a bill is make believe? You only want to see whatever you want to. You speak so highly of the Democrats all the time. Are they a perfect political party? We dont need to mention Charlie Rangel. You mention the Republican who did the honorable thing and resigned. The last time I looked good old Charlie was still serving in DC. What happened to Pelosi's bs talk about ethics? I guess it is ok for Rangel not to pay taxes for all these years.

now, is that a more palatable post? i've said to riot that i thought she wasn't evenhanded, that she often seems to be cheerleading one party while critical of the other. you're the same way! funny that you accuse her of doing that, and you do the same-only for the other side. in other words, pot meet kettle! but, like i've read and thought was spot on, and said on here before: how great the sin when someone else commits it. now, tell me how you're able to discuss each issue, rather than always take one party's side. now, don't really try, as that's a rhetorical question.

you didn't. i took what you wrote about riot, and changed the appropriate names to you and your party. now, do you understand? you calling out someone for talking good only about one side, and only attacking one side is downright hilarious-as well as hypocritical. you do that every day! every post. you attack everything done by obama and the dems as being a bad thing, and everything done by the reps as a good thing. it's not! just like your attempt to bash obama over pell grants. not one person has agreed with you thus far. your attempt at attacking him in that respect failed miserably, as his points are well made.

Just curious about it. People are entitled to thier opinions. The Pell Grant thread I was trying to gauge other people's view on it. Whether in agreement or disagreement. You don't feel that Riot is always attacking the Republican Party?

does it matter? sometimes i agree with her, sometimes i don't. sometimes i think she gives dems far too much credit. sometimes i think reps not enough.
but, ask yourself that same question. are you always attacking dems? if so, why? surely you don't think one party has all the answers, and the other none? if you don't think she's right, how can you be right by always opposing? think about it. some dems sometimes vote with reps, and vice versa. that should tell you that you can't just lump them all together.

Very true what you just said. My opinion is that Riot feels that the Dems can do no wrong. Riot brought about the person who resigned over some pics and was a Republican. Yet no mention is made of Charlie Rangel who comitted a far more serious offense and is still serving.

Strange you completely ignore my answer to you, in favor of what you'd prefer to think in spite of what I say.

Ever watch the movie A Few Good Men? You play the Colonel. Remember what Tom Cruise told the Colonel? Did you not bring up the man who resigned over the pics of bad taste?

Yes, in passing - and with admiration for his actions accepting responsibility. And I also said some bad things about Rangel, if I recall.

Do I attack the Republicans all the time, and the Dems rarely? YES, I DO! After years of financially contributing, political action walking neighborhoods, supporting the party and candidates, going to the country party meetings - YES, I DO! The current incarnation of the Republican party is an utter disappointment and laughingstock to me. Do I think the Dems perfect? Nope. Do I embrace a progressive agenda? Hardly. Did I vote Obama? YES, I DID! Gladly!

Not that I think that what I actually say and do, will affect what you say I say and do.

You want to attack the Republicans all the time, expect me to continue attacking your beloved money spending Democrats. You dont think the Dems are a disappointment and laughing stock? Im about to fall out of my chair from laughing very hard. I gladly voted for McCain.
