Thank you Sen. Coburn. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/o...liation-No-Viagra-for-molestors-88950592.html I wish I were part of the committee that brainstormed on these amendments; it must be a fun job.
It's republican bullshit like this that has made this into a much maligned process. If the republicans would just work with the democrats maybe the Health Care Reform Bill that was passed could have been bipartisan. How does this help the country? We All Agree That Health Care Needed To Be Reformed Right? I really hope the immigration bill goes much better.
This stalling and pandering by the republicans is bullshit. The bill passed. Get over it. Yeah, it sucks. But slowing down the house and senate when there is a million other things that need to be addressed is not going to help, the republicans just look petty now. Like their mom said you have to go to bed after you finish eating so they take four hours finishing their plate. http://www.sportstwo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=155664
You're saying "Get over it" and the republicans look petty? A bill gets passed because 'tons of other things need to be addressed' and that's sound reasoning? Really?
Its the standard modus operandii of the Obama administration. push things in a hurry so people won't know what's going on.
I didn't say the bill got passed BECAUSE other things need to be taken care of, I said the bill was passed and there is nothing we can do about it now, so we need to MOVE ON to the other things.
Reminds me of when those clever fellows at Memphis hired Darius Miles. Same sort of genius. The evil sort. barfo
Where did I ever say they did? I'm saying the Republicans should try working at offering up solutions and try working with the Democrats if they want to accomplish anything. Putting in amendments like this one just to slow things down does not help a thing, but you want to celebrate it like it's some kind of victory?
Its the same thing the Democrats are doing. They are putting their "fixes" into the final bill. that's how they passed it in the first place. slight of hand.
The bill is law. The fixes the Republicans can hold up as much as they want...the problem is, a lot of the fixes the Republicans actually want, now that the law exists. So, okay. Stall the fixes as much as you like. Sound politics, to cut off your nose to spite your face and also to stand in the way of things you, yourself, think are necessary (the fixes to the law) in order to prove a point. I think this has a lot more downside to Republicans than to Democrats, but they're welcome to it.
Yah, because Bush never did that. Or anyone before now. And if you think this was done in a hurry? holy shit, you have a strange sense of how long it takes to do something. This was done slowly, and painfully boring. One thing you gotta give Bush (and Republicans) credit for (when they're in power). They know how to get something done, and do it quickly. They don't pussy foot around and allow the opposition to fuck with what they want done. They want it done, it's done.
