Oh yeah, if only this mentally disturbed man wasn't able to get a gun I'm sure he couldn't have done any harm to Paulson. We all know that guns are the only thing that any human being has ever used in the history of the world to kill another…

Since this is an election year, time will tell just how many democrats are willing to march off the cliff on this issue.

Since most Democrats will provide the necessary reform to the health care system, they must not believe the lies being spread on the "25 percent" number.

To add to the great ones already named:
1. The sequel to Jean de Florette (which must be seen as it sets everything up) called Manon of the Spring.
2. Also: Run Lola Run.

but if I did, and then chose to delay or "filibuster" every peice of legislation. According to you, that congress would set a record for most filibusters.

A record would depend upon the number of pieces of legislation brought to vote in the senate, but yes, you would be…

Blame the democratic leadership for not including enough republicans like Olympia Snow to get the 60 votes?

The Democratic leadership certainly has not excluded Republican moderates like Snowe. But Snowe, like Arlen Specter and Jim Jeffords before her, knows that there is a political price to pay if she…

ca1ic0cat writes two very interesting points that reveal the fundamental contradiction in the current hardline Republican point-of-view:

The first point is this one: "Getting a supreme court justice appointed with a 60 vote majority in the senate is a walk in the park." And the second: "I think that when…

There was no leadership by Obama to push for an agreed to democratic bill.

You can lead all you want. But when you've got such an awful, angry, discredited, little party whose members decide to prevent measures they don't like from ever getting a vote in the Senate, there…

The democrats had a "fillibuster proof" 60 vote majority in the senate for a year and couldn't get anything done.

One short sentence with two glaring falsehoods.

First of all, President Obama has gotten a lot done, especially with regards to the environment and financial regulation. He chose what…

Guess that was why Scott Brown was elected, less than one year later.

There is no doubt that the Republican knuckle-draggers have been energized by their fellow teabaggers.

Glad to see Brown cross over party lines and vote with the Democrats on the jobs bill, breaking yet another Republican…

Bangladesh has about 4,000 textile factories, and many of them are unsafe, labor rights groups say.
