I don't hate Obama, just want to see him take his finger out of the wind and be a president. Nope, that's not true. Both houses have listened to and included many Rep. amendments. Look it up. Went through this with someone here about two months ago.. You are wrong, period.. Prove it. Trust me, I am not known for fabrication here... I am not much for going over hundreds of posts from the past... Or, you could just cite some sources that back up your assertion... that would save you going over hundreds of posts. Not so fond of searching youtube either.. I have a bunch of pics to post for some folks I was photographing at the track today... But if I get time I will.. While you have time however, you can show me cites of bills or amendments the Dems haven't squashed... Five seconds worth of google search, including typing: republican amendments to health care bill (no quotes). http://whitenoiseinsanity.com/2009/0...lth-care-bill/ From Slate: That said, some context: Of the 788 amendments filed, 67 came from Democrats and 721 from Republicans. (That disparity drew jeers that Republicans were trying to slow things down. Another explanation may be that they offered so many so they could later claim-as they are now, in fact, claiming-that most of their suggestions went unheeded.) Only 197 amendments were passed in the end-36 from Democrats and 161 from Republicans. And of those 161 GOP amendments, Senate Republicans classify 29 as substantive and 132 as technical. I hope this helps! It sure does. It shows that democrats in congress, buy and large, are complacent on the issue and probably haven't even read it. They will rubber stamp anything that is sent to them by king obama. Even obama doesn't really give a **** as long as the bill has his name on top. It shows that neither of you can support your own arguments. What argument? Arguing with you would be like arguing with a box of rocks. Then, why do you keep trying? What's dumber than a box of rocks? A pen name? Like Tosk? Uh no.. Tosk is the name I have given to my computer. A made up name... like a pen name. Got it. lol Tosk is not a made up name, Tosk is real... ![]() It's made up or it's an Albanian dialect. You pick. You didn't specify nose or butt. He requires instruction. |
