For JTF's Reading Pleasure: "What is the Tea Party"

CRedskinsRule · 07-07-2010, 04:24 PM

Lieberman's history:
. In the 2000 United States presidential election, Lieberman was the Democratic nominee for Vice President, running with presidential nominee Al Gore,
He was an unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in the 2004 presidential election.
Lieberman has been officially listed in Senate records for the 110th and 111th Congresses as an "Independent Democrat"[2]
Ultimately, the Senate Democratic Caucus voted to allow Lieberman to keep chairmanship of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. Subsequently, Lieberman announced that he will continue to caucus with the Democrats.[4]
Lieberman remains a registered Democrat.[5]
{sidenote, He has also opposed filibustering Republican judicial appointments.}

the above was from his Wiki,

he also was a Democratic Senator since 1988 before he lost the Democratic primary and ran as an independent democrat.

so trying to say this guy isn't a Democrat demonstrates a lack of knowledge about his past.

With Joe Lieberman, Ben Nelson and Blanche Lincoln in the caucus Republicans aren't/weren't the problem...with Brown they have become part of the problem. It's OK though, two can play that game. I'm sure sometime down the road when Lord Obama has ruined America and the GOP gains control once again they'll be whining about how little control they have. Filibuster away....you get a filibuster, you get a filibuster, everybody gets a filibuster.

I think they should officially change the term "filibuster" to "clusterf***".

As with so many things, a useful and important procedural/legal tool that gets abused (by both sides of the aisle).

When I think of that "can you change" thread that CRed started I wonder about Miller101 and whether he could change. To me he seems to be the type of person who if he heard a Democrat say "the world is shaped like a triangle and the capital of Italy is Tehran" He'd be like "damn right it is!"

I'll post this link again even though he'll just gloss over it. Or maybe he's right,maybe the Dems never have had 60 seats in the Senate and this link is some article from The Onion.

Miller, if your point is that Republicans, if united, can hold up any bill in the Senate, ok true enough. But, the Republicans have been a long fractured party, the New England Republicans are very liberal and most major bills could be passed just by minor modifications. If your point is that no business at all is getting done. Heck. That makes us less government types just jump for joy, unfortunately its just not the case. The government is still passing plenty of new laws and bills this year.

just because quoting myself is fun:

from NBC:

Quote:

WASHINGTON — Republican Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts helped move sweeping financial legislation closer to passage Monday, announcing that after some misgivings he will support the regulatory overhaul after all.

Brown joins Sen. Susan Collins of Maine as two crucial Republican votes for the legislation.

Democratic leaders were still looking to secure the 60 votes needed to overcome procedural hurdles. They were awaiting word from Sens. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, and Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, who supported an earlier Senate version of the bill.

3 of the 4 Republicans are from the New England region, I just don't understand why they don't just admit they are Democrats and move on.

Why don't the blue dogs admit they are Republicans and move on.

Poor schmucks. Y'all believe in the WWF too? What about the tooth fairy? I hear she's a sexy number.

If, on the other hand, you're point is that you are more obtuse than JTF - well then, point to you old boy. Well done.

Since this is the Tea Party thread, I though it was worth mentioning that Harry Reid is now leading in the polls against Tea Party candidate, Sharron Angle.

He also has a double digit lead among women. A few months back, some people here thought Reid was toast. I guess we'll see.
