The important fact here is the date, 3/25/2013 @ 3:28PM. Now you want a debate when 8months were squandered? A clean bill, and we keep squandering if that's what you want.Quote:
But House Republicans have not budged. And as long as their position is that no tax increase of any size under any circumstance is acceptable, there will be no final budget resolution for 2014. At the moment, neither House nor Senate leaders plan to even try to reconcile the two budgets.
And without a compromise resolution, it is hard to image that either the House Ways & Means Committee or the Senate Finance Committee would propose a tax reform bill—even though both budget bills contemplate major reductions in tax preferences.
Yup he worked with Ted Kennedy on some of the swimmer's signature legislations.Quote:

He's president of the TParty... sort of!!
Only when liberal Democrats select the Republican nominee should Republicans care what the liberal Democrats think.
Hope the next republican presidential nomination is as big a hit as the last one.
That's because the Repubics have the mistake of holding open primaries. Too many Dems selected him . Show me how many of the conservatives on this forum had him as their top choice. Answer.. nada .
I like Cruz, he has a big set of cajones and handles himself well. He was heckled, first by Harry Reid which he also handled well, but apparently some hopeychangey civilized Obots heckled him at an appearance.
Quote:
In response to one heckler, Cruz said: “Thank you, sir, for being here. You know, look, it is a great thing that people can express their First Amendment rights. And I only wish the Obama administration respected First Amendment rights that much.”
To another heckler, Cruz responded: “Ma’am, thank you for being here. I wish you would participate in the democratic process through speaking respectfully. … It seems that President Obama’s paid political operatives are out in force today. And you know why? Because the men and women in this room scare the living daylights out of them.”
Interrupted again, Cruz took aim at the president: “You know what? I’m curious. Is anybody left at the Organizing for America headquarters? I’m actually glad that the president’s whole political staff is here instead of actually doing mischief in the country.”
When another heckler yelled out a question, Cruz responded: “You know what’s striking, actually? In the course of this brief speech, we’ve heard more questions than President Obama has allowed in the last year.”
The heckling then led Cruz to “make an offer” to Obama. “I would welcome the president, if he wants to get a hundred of his most rabid political operative in a room, I’ll answer their questions on television as long as he likes. And in exchange, all that I would ask, Mr. President, is you take not a hundred, but ten of the men and women in this room, and spend 30 minutes answering their questions for the American people.”
To another liberal activist, Cruz responded: “Oh, they don’t want the truth to be heard. They definitely don’t want the truth to be heard.”
Tparty types love their meat red and raw. But it doesn't show cajones to stand in front of right wing audience and talk right wing politics.
If he went on hardball and gave Chris Mathews a tingle up his other leg then THAT would show cajones.
Wow, you have everything bass ackwards this week. It takes cajones to buck the good 'ol boy DC ways, it doesn't take cajones to harass and heckle from the crowd- that's called cowardice.
This happens everyday here from the righties... but you're too fanatical to see it.Quote:

That's a good point NK, because I don't remember you saying anything when the Prez gets heckled, not even by a congressman during an address.
The emperor was lying and deserved to be called out .of course the Canadians are always civil in debate so NK speaks from a higher loft .

Harper is a conservative a$$ who will be voted out.
My statement was referring to the hypocrisy of steve's statement in this forum... That's what "here" meant in my post.
Just like you calling Rachel Maddow "madcow". Even my 8 year old doesn't do that.
hey ,if the shoe fits ,wear it .Quote:

Dude, considering your unhealthy obsession with me I don't think you have any room to be talking about fanaticism.Quote:

That's easily proven wrong, but you obviously aren't smart enough to figure that out on your own.Quote:

Speech - I am so glad I am not like you. The end.
Possibly . The Whigs gave birth to the Republicans... who split from them... and the Whigs eventually died leaving the 2 party system intact . Or you could have another version of 1976-1980 where conservatives took the party from the beltway Repubics . That's the version I would prefer . But either way works for me because the Repubics today are nothing more than statists ,barely different from the Dems.Quote:

So instead of having the Republican nominee grab onto his coat tails in November ,he decided to hold a special election this month for the Senate seat... strapping the people of NJ with the cost of 2 state wide elections in a month.
The race right now is real close ;and it may be that Christie's coat tails would've been the difference. But Christie is about Christie .
Conservatives got in line when the party nominated McCain and Romney even though they were far from the ideal choice of the conservatives.
But when the reverse is the case... as in NJ ,or now in Va. The weasel Rockefeller Repubics go out of their way to undermine the conservative nominee.
In Va . Ken Cuccinelli won the nomination against "moderate " Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling. Bolling has refused to endorse Cucinelli, and I'm hearing he's going to endorse \ Democrat Terry McAuliffe instead of his party nominee.
Here in NY we have Peter King going insane in his condemnation of Cruz and Rand Paul. Enough!! Let the Repubics go into the trash heap of history . They have stopped being an opposition party and instead play the role of jester foils. Here in NY they intentionally lose elections and have done so for years. NYC is about to elect a commie mayor who worked for the Sandanistas and is a Castro sympathizer . The Repubics picked a Tammany Hall insider to run against him.
They can't be to bad if they shutdown the US government.
Booker's "neighbors" haven't been able to find him in years apparently.Quote:

Booker, who filed to run for the U.S. Senate from a P.O. Box in Newark, is registered to vote at 435 Hawthorne Avenue but his next door neighbors told this reporter and filmmaker Joel Gilbert on camera that they haven't seen Booker in years and that he doesn't live there.
“Does he still live here?” Gilbert asked Booker's neighbor, Tashay Thomas.
“He never did,” she replied. “His security guards live here.”
Why did he claim to live there while sending police to be quartered in a private home?
“Because he is a liar.” Thomas replied.
Thomas yelled out to someone across the street: “They're looking for that fake mayor who says he live here. He does not live here!”
“Cory Booker don't live here,” said James Sharp, another neighbor. “Only his bodyguards live here.”
Why did he tell people he lived here? asked Gilbert.
“So that he could keep telling people he did stuff but he is not doing anything. A lot of people getting killed and he's supposed stop the violence but he don't.”

Here in NY we are used to having absentee representatives... especially Senators ,some of whom never lived in the State until the day they took up permanent residency in an unoccupied hotel room... Booker should feel right at home in the Senate where residency in the state you represent is optional.
That being said... I don't think there is enough confirmation of this story .
Hello again,
So, did Ted Cruz do this for the benefit of the country, or for the benefit of Ted Cruz?

Same as Palin. And DeMint for that matter.Quote:
