I know you have strongly held opinions...you're stuck in the clinic all day....and the cats won't talk to you....your frustration is understandable. See, you asked me 2 questions that framed your opinion of me before the dust settled in this forum.
Strangely, in light of your concern about "framing", that's not how I spend my day

Thought my smiley-face gave away that was a joke.

I'm impressed with facts...but you see them through the myopic scope of HuffPo and Mother Jones and other of their ilk. I can hardly answer correctly given your stance.....It's not CHESS...it's talking.
You seem to be confusing fact with opinion. One is generally indisputable, and the other is interpretation of the first. I can assure you I form my own opinions. You?

It is indisputable that you form your opinions....it's the disposition of the truth
that is your "Waterloo"

You still seem to conflate opinion with fact

The current GOP in the Senate have obstructed more business via filibuster than any other Senate before them. Do you think that's truth, or fiction?

Obama is a Kenyan-born non-citizen of the US. Truth, or fiction?

The answer is yes to both questions, but I'm not familiar with the word "conflate"!

Now...."Don't FRAME" Me, Sis !!


p.s....there are "qualifiers" in that answer

Sorry, "confuse" will do. And you are entitled to your qualifiers 'cause that's where the FUN starts <G>

Default And tomorrows GOP filibuster is .. the DREAM act

Geesh. Let the bills come to the floor, debate them, then vote on them. Filibustering being able to vote on the bill, one Senator preventing all from addressing a topic with their vote, is simply obstructionist, unconstitutional BS on the part of the GOP (yeah, that's opinion

Quote:
WASHINGTON -- The Dream Act, a bill that would allow some undocumented young people to gain legal status, narrowly passed the House Wednesday evening, 216-198.

The bill's passage by the lower chamber was applauded by President Barack Obama, who called it "an important step" toward comprehensive immigration reform.

But the fight isn't over -- the Senate's version of the bill is set to come up for a vote tomorrow and faces a steep climb to get past a cloture vote.
