You continue with your lies...it takes 60 votes to move throught the Senate...Obama never had it...typical lack of knowledge on your part...

Lol...your post should be nominated for dumbest post of the year.

That is total BS and you know it...sure the RINOs were bough off...by the right wing via threats to contrabutions for reelection...and the Democrats who are still a functioning political party expecting to work in a Republic and not in a Parlament have their own DINO's who are just as Republician as some Republicians...remember that the Guy from Conneticutt (Joe L) was almost McCains running mate...as to what was fillibustered...

"The list includes legislation to overhaul health care, which has stalled and isn't a good bet to be revived; global warming legislation; and a bill to overhaul financial regulation. Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada scaled back a bipartisan jobs bill, fearing that a larger package would get tied up in a filibuster. He also filed a "cloture petition," meaning he plans a vote to cut off a filibuster if one starts."

Gus, links and facts don't dissuade Bully from his alternate reality. It's worthless to argue with a guy with less intelligence than a beer coaster.

Along the lines of the original premise of this thread, I saw the head of the Tea Party Express on MSNBC this morning. She was strongly supporting Newt (though no official endorsement) and talked about the Tea Party was actually (allegedly) born out of their frustration of the GOP and the GOP establishment and how they were mad at the Establishment's role in the race and the Establishment was the real enemy here and they had to take the GOP back from them. When Alex Witt asked if they would run a third party candidate if the Establishment's choice, Mitt Romney, was the nominee she responded "oh no, we would support whomever the nominee is as the goal is the defeat Barack Obama." Such hypocrites.

Start with the overhaul of the "unfair" tax code. How did that go?

fewer people on food stamps during the Obama Administration than during the Obama Administration, with a majority of those during the Obama Administration going on in the first few months, you know, during the crash caused by Bush. Though maybe you were off in the Detroit suburb known as Amsterdam when that happened and missed it. How many flights board in Detroit then land in Detroit?

Just the facts.

You're right. It won't unless Ron Paul gets elected.

We already have a tax on the wealthy. We have a progressive income tax just like what Karl Marx asked for in "The Communist Manifesto". What more could you ask for?

Not dodging at all...that's what you are doing on why you think the Deomcrats could pass anything with the Republicians filibustering everything...

Stop dodging, there are no filibusters in the House. How did the House Dems with their massive majority do passing tax fairness legislation? It's a simple question. Why won't you answer?

You just can't admit they punted. Stop telling me about "quite a bit". I asked specifically on the critically important issue to you liberals of making the wealthy pay their fair share. How did they do passing that legislation? Stop dodging.

Your the one who is dodging...we started this with yousying that the Democrats have, in your words, overwhelming majorities in Congress and could pass anything they wanted to pass...when it was pointed out to you that the Democrats never had 60 votes in the senate and that the republicians filibustered a record nummber of bills you switched to asking why the house didn't pass one specific piece...pretty weak on your part...how come the currenbt house hasn't impeached Obama?

How many times did you vote for dubya? He put more people on food stamps than the current prez, so why would putting his clone in office be a better choice?
