-Franklin D. Roosevelt
In reality, the conservatives have always held a disproportionately large share of power because they enforce strict party loyalty and have more similar, traditionalistic views. The liberal side of the spectrum is full of ideas, but it is very difficult to get everyone on board with each idea. Bush had a 'rubber stamp' congress when the Republicans held the supermajority, Obama does not have this same privilege despite the seat counts.
*sidenote, the Democrats still don't have 60 senate seats anyways, because the Republicans are playing an endless game of stalling Al Franken's certification in the Minnesota courts. - Exhibitionist, on 04/30/2009, -8/+45How on earth did you manage to make each and every sentence in your paragraph fail harder than the previous one kid? That must've taken some serious talent.
Now ***** off you small minded tool. - inactive, on 04/30/2009, -3/+34Do we have to do this with every new president? Is there some law that with every new guy, the losing side has to immediately fly into volleys about how he's turning this country into a fascist regime or some *****? Exactly how many times do people have to make these predictions only to see them fall flat on their backs before we figure out to stop pulling this *****?
People are saying Obama is the end of America as we know it. People said Bush would be the end of America as we know it. They said the same thing of Clinton. I'm pretty damn sure they said the same thing about Bush Sr., and Reagan, and Carter... And yet, we're still here. Grow the ***** up. - inactive, on 04/30/2009, -4/+33My worst fear is that Specter's move has sealed Minnesota's fate, and Coleman is going to be more committed than ever to dragging this ***** on for all eternity. I mean, for *****'s sake, as if this ***** weren't ridiculous enough.
- Hetman, on 04/30/2009, -2/+27You are posting facts but you have picked and chose the ones that fit your point of view. How come you do not mention the times when the markets rallied?
- Shadic, on 04/30/2009, -2/+27Gore's court case prevented Bush from holding office for how long?
Oh, that's right. Zero days. - inactive, on 04/30/2009, -2/+23Quiet, Shadic, there's no place for logic or rationality here. Even though the Democrats did not stall anything, it's obviously the EXACT SAME!!!
- ThsGuyRightHere, on 04/30/2009, -5/+24He meant Republicans who actually matter.
- inactive, on 04/30/2009, -3/+21The market goes down during a recession? Holy hell. Do you think that with the news about Chrysler closing and swine flu panic the market would have been up if only the president hand't given a press conference? Are you that Dense?
- inactive, on 04/30/2009, -1/+18Strange... The Republicans are always talking about rights and freedoms and small government... But when we talk about, say, gay marriage, suddenly it's not a right or a freedom, it's a special privilege for a small minority. Or when we talk about marijuana legalization, suddenly they switch their tones entirely and talk about the sacrifices to freedom that are necessary to keep society safe. It's all a bunch of ***** propaganda.
- AndrewDB, on 04/30/2009, -5/+22Holy ***** ***** 7papa7.. you are an anti-Obama extremeite aren't you?
I mean just look through your digg history.
Take a gun to your lower jaw and pull the trigger.. it might be easier for you than the rest of these for years. - C0ntraRadical, on 04/30/2009, -1/+18That's kinda my thinking too. Then again, Coleman was probably going to drag the race out as long as possible anyway.
- AgeofMastery, on 04/30/2009, -2/+18Alienated Israel? He appointed the son of an Irgun member as his chief of staff. For those unfamiliar with Irgun...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irgun
He's also continuing to pay out the nearly three billion dollars a year we give Israel in aid.
Now if Israel wants to get into a snit and be "alienated" because we dare to attempt peace with a country they don't like, (Iran), tough ***** on them. American foreign policy needs to be about America first, not about Israel. - ThsGuyRightHere, on 04/30/2009, -5/+20And you're just a troll.
- muchachoburacho, on 04/30/2009, -0/+15show me widespread evidence of voter fraud in minnesota and i'll support the republicans stalling with franken taking the seat.
- inactive, on 04/30/2009, -8/+23Bipartisanship is a joke. No one cares about anything except for raising money and getting reelected.
- davebg8r, on 04/30/2009, -5/+20Please stop calling those who call themselves Republicans 'conservatives'. They do not believe in or take action to limit government. They do not follow a conservative fiscal policy. They do not believe in to take action to endorse/promote/protect individual liberty.
If something doenst look like a duck or act like it duck, even if it quacks, its not a duck. Its only a weasel with a duck call. - Leviathan433, on 04/30/2009, -5/+20You can't really put quotations around ***** people don't say...
unless you really want to work for the fox news network. - MacVogt, on 04/30/2009, -7/+21The Republicans have really done a disservice to this country. Maybe they have some great points. Don't know, because it's hard to sort the crazy from the sane. Thanks, guys.
- LemonMachete, on 04/30/2009, -4/+18The markets went up the day the Titanic sank.
COINCIDENCE? - diggduggDOOM, on 04/30/2009, -1/+14That's great and all, but they call themselves conservatives and their supporters call themselves conservatives.
- AmazingA, on 04/30/2009, -4/+17These posts are fun. I have yet to hear a republican make a valid point in 101 days.
- orlandogeek, on 04/30/2009, -1/+14History doesn't support your assertion.
- inactive, on 04/30/2009, -2/+14It's more like 1776-2000.
- geekee, on 04/30/2009, -7/+19Yeah, just like they didn't rubber stamp his "stimulus" package, or his budget.
- trav6, on 04/30/2009, -1/+13Okay so explain to me, how Bush did...whats your point of view on Bush?
- brisketplease, on 04/30/2009, -6/+16rubber stamp? i hardly even know 'er.
- cjharty, on 04/30/2009, -4/+14It's good that he doesn't. Even if the Dems someday get a filibuster-proof majority, the two parties should still be working together to work in the best interest of ALL citizens.
Then again, the republicans have collectively donned their tin hats as of late. Maybe once they ditch the crazy they start earning their credibility back, by working with the President. - ThsGuyRightHere, on 04/30/2009, -8/+18So what would you have him say? "Suck it bitches, now I don't even need to pretend to listen to you?" He's demonstrating some class and still offering to work with Republicans even though he doesn't have to, and you just can't stand it.
- ThsGuyRightHere, on 04/30/2009, -0/+10You left out: Every time Bush open his mouth between 2000 and 2008: market goes down.
- Railz, on 04/30/2009, -1/+11Good. ***** people relying on the Dow Jones for their political and job outlook.
- KaivenTor, on 04/30/2009, -3/+12I hope more that the senate doesn't have a rubber stamp president.
- inactive, on 04/30/2009, -1/+10what? his just a puppet?
- Amazetbm, on 04/30/2009, -1/+10The voters need to wake up and purge Congress regardless of their party affiliation. There are too many flat-earth neanderthals in both parties continuing business as usual. Congress has an approval rating lower than Bush's...get some new representatives folks.
- Gerz1219, on 04/30/2009, -0/+9My understanding is that there are only two more courts left in the country for Coleman to *****, so it's not like he can drag this thing out forever. Most estimates have Franken seated in June, after the Minnesota Supreme Court upholds his victory. The U.S. Supreme Court will likely not take the case, as the Minnesota election was carried out with such transparency and fairness that there will be no compelling issue for the Supremes to consider.
- inactive, on 04/30/2009, -3/+12Bush did end America as I knew it.
- ThsGuyRightHere, on 04/30/2009, -0/+8I beg to differ... something tells me it will come in second for the most inane comment in this sub, with yours beating it by a nose.
- scottk59, on 04/30/2009, -0/+8What about my "just a puppet obama"?
- orlandogeek, on 04/30/2009, -2/+10Excluding facts that help prove the point your trying to make is a stretch? Sounds like a news network I know of.. hmm..
- TsuruchiBrian, on 04/30/2009, -0/+7When Republicans and Democrats are working together, it either means there was a national disaster or they are increasing their own salaries.
- solidsnake1298, on 04/30/2009, -1/+8You know what is hilarious. My local newpaper did an interview with a leader of our local socialist party and they said something alongs the lines of "What the hell are you talking about?! Obama isn't even close to being a socialist!!".
If a true socialist doesn't think that Obama is a socialist, then Obama isn't a socialist.
End of story.
Btw, we aren't even close to being in as much debt as we were in WWII. - ThsGuyRightHere, on 04/30/2009, -6/+13"The younger crowd cheering this guy on are going to be the ones footing the bill for these policies."
Absolutely. So shut the ***** up already. - Shadic, on 04/30/2009, -0/+7You went down because it's a stupid thing to base anything political off of.
The Dow goes up and down like an indecisive stripper's panties. - trav6, on 04/30/2009, -0/+6ya, he right look at the negative rather than the positive.
- sathias, on 04/30/2009, -0/+6As if the GOP needs an excuse to try and get the courts to override the democratic vote.
- sulthernao, on 04/30/2009, -0/+6Dude, Chrysler is going into bankruptcy. I'm pretty sure that's what was driving the market, not Obama.
- dazparkour, on 04/30/2009, -1/+7The Dems don't always tow the line, just a lot.
- D3L3T3D, on 04/30/2009, -1/+7Actually, we'll be paying off Bush's debts.
- fury420, on 04/30/2009, -4/+9you are right, because people who graduate from Harvard and TEACH constitutional law obviously have no idea what the term "rubber stamp" means
If only we had elected the guy who graduated in the bottom of his class at a military academy his father got him into.... eh? - AgeofMastery, on 04/30/2009, -0/+5I'd rather be a puppet than a codpiece....
