Guest Guest Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 People who don't dwell in the land of Republicans might become confused upon hearing the alternative English they speak. Republican is a tough language, but with application and study, you, too, can learn it: Activist judges: Judges whose rulings are at odds with the perceived wisdom of Republicans, as explained to them by Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh. Bankers: Stewards of the capitalist system who always know what's best for the economy, who deserve low taxes and big year-end bonuses no matter how poorly their institutions have performed. Class warfare: Assaults on rich people in the form of the usual whining of poor people. Clinton, Wm. Jefferson: Democrat president whose sexual dalliance sent the nation into a tailspin from which even George W. Bush could not save it. Compassionate conservatism: Ignoring the poor, except for an occasional contribution to the collection plate at church. Also see "conservatism." Democrats: Devil-worshiping scum, foes of free enterprise, champions of the shiftless and the lazy, enemies of hardworking Americans everywhere. Energy policy: Drill, baby, drill. Fairness Doctrine: A government regulation once imposed on broadcasters under the mistaken notion that the public airways were owned by the public. Wisely rescinded by Ronald Reagan, paving the way for the careers of Rush Limbaugh, et al. Fox News: A place where failed newsmen go to live out their golden years (e.g., Britt Hume, Geraldo Rivera), with paychecks provided by an Australian capitalist intent on explaining America to itself.

The West Sider Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 G. Washington has been dead for 210 years, and in case you haven't noticed, things have changed a bit since then. You are quite the student of history (and pretty good at math too.) To poster #6, you are absolutely correct! @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aphoristically Moderate Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I have been reading about this "Nuclear Option"... or "Reconciliation" tactic. It is written about extensively on Wikipedia. Debate about it goes back in our history all the way to 1806. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_option In recent memory... and the subject at the beginning of this thread... deals with the appointment of judges to the Federal Bench by George Bush. Article 2, Section 2 of the Constitution says... "The President shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law, but the Congress may by law vest appointment of such inferior officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the deeds of departments." Presidents of both major parties have been able to nominate Judges without the Senate being able to use the 60 vote Filibuster to defeat them. The Filibuster is for Legislation not Judicial nominations. The Democrats are making a poor comparison, here, to justify Reconciliation. The Filibuster has also been side-stepped in budget matters with the "Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional...rol_Act_of_1974 This Law has been amended several times, but it basically sets spending limits on bills that are voted on by Congress. This is also a poor comparison to justify using the "Nuclear Option" to pass a 2000+ page Health Care bill. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Unbelievable. http://www.thefoxnation.com/health-care/20...r-option?page=1 I find it just as hypocritical or even more so that the pubs are the ones howling, after they had used it so many times themselves!
