First of all, that's history, so it doesn't count, remember?!!!
Secondly, do you think it's just liberals that do that?

The conservatives are REALLY reaching across the aisle to help with
healthcare reform, huh?


Yup, 4 bills submitted and hundreds of amendments, all summarily
dismissed. The gang of 6 is still meeting even though the other side is
considering "the nuke option".. I say we are. You are not reaching back,
or admitting it even...


Do you think that the people in power should take those bill and
amendments even though they are the exact opposite from what they think
needs to be done?



And, not to mention that the majority voted for change, not the same old
same old.

They should be allowed time in committee, for discussion, instead they
are being summarily dismissed.. Period. That is not compromise, that is
not how our congress was designed..

How much time? Who gets to decide? Last I checked that would be the majority
in Congress.

The Freak is just parroting talking points.

He certainly would not have had a problem with the Republican
majority congress completely shutting the Democrats out during
Clinton's presidency -- if he were even aware of it, which I'm certain
he wasn't.

"That's not how our Congress was designed..." as if he knows a bloody
thing about Congress.
