comgress polarized? blame the GOP

[Truthmatters]

Is that you attempting to squash someone else's right to speak out on a public board? I thought Democrats were so tolerant of other people's points of view? Oh, wait, we are talking about you, the queen racist of USMB... tolerance is not something you believe in.

Then again, it isn't something many progressives believe in. Is it?

Immie

why did thomas Jefferson call us a democracy if we are not a democracy?

And again you take things out of context... funny how you forget the other parts of that very same letter... or forget how the constitution is specifically set up to protect rights, freedoms, and lay powers on government so that mob rule does not rule the land

He called us a democracy for what reason then?


why are you constantly SMEARING the word democracy?

You CHEERED when Bush said he was spreading it in the middle east

 

[Truthmatters]

the number of filibusters by Republicans has escalated, and they have been far more willing to use the tactic than their opponents. Since 2007, the Senate Historical Office has shown, Democrats have had to end Republican filibusters more than 360 times, a historic record.

Thanks for proving how blind, ignorant or how much of a liar you are. So you basically don't realize that the Democrats have the majority in the Senate and the White House and the GOP minority are the ones trying to benefit from obstructing the Dems?

Hilarious. Thank you for pointing out the Democrats have no interest in compromise and are only interested in the tyranny won by their majorities.

I'm not interested at all. When Bush won, you got to push his radical agenda on us and we SCREAMED don't do it but he was in charge and that was the direction he wanted to take us. He said we need to fight them over there so we don't fight them over here. We went along. He said Saddam was trouble and we went along. He said tax breaks to the rich would trickle down so we tried it and it didn't work. He said he wanted to deregulate and or privatize the Wallstreet, Banks, Oil companies and the Healthcare industry, we tried it and it collapsed the economy.

And Romney wants to keep doing that shit.

Obama wants to give tax breaks to middle class so people have money to spend, the GOP obstruct. The Bush tax cuts were supposed to expire, the GOP held unemployment benefits hostage if we didn't extend them. Obama wanted to spend more to stimulate the economy, you didn't give him the money he needed and most economists agree the stimulus wasn't big enough. Obama wants infrastructure spending and you fight him even though Bush ignored infrastructure for 8 years.

You guys haven't allowed us to even fully impliment our plans and still the economy is slowly improving. That's because you aren't at the wheel.

You are the one who brought up Jefferson.

 

[Listening]

It could be that Republicans will take things so far that we may reach one of those rare moments when congressional reform happens. If reform does not happen, and these trends continue, the nation will be left with an inoperative legislative process that can't handle the problems we face with the economy, social problems and foreign policy.

Now STFU and move to Cuba.

1) Democracy is rule of the masses.. tyranny of the majority... hence why it is not a proper form of national government
2) Again.. why do you ignore the rest of the VERY SAME LETTER YOU TAKE A SNIPET FROM??
3) I didn't... but nice try, cuntbag

Hilarious. Thank you for pointing out the Democrats have no interest in compromise and are only interested in the tyranny won by their majorities.

And remember the Tea Party won a bunch of seats in the 2010 midterm because stupid Americans only vote every 4 years and they said the American people have spoken and want them to pass their radical Paul Ryan/Michelle Bachmann agenda.

But Obama's HUGE win in 2008 meant nothing?

I'd like to see the reasoned linkage to suppor that statement.

This should be good.

Nonsense.

But you are free to point out the legislation in question which was not passed with Democrat support.

Actually, it meant a great deal.

The only thing the left keeps forgetting in all this is that most of the opposition to Obama came from within when he was trying to get stuff done.

All you had to do was watch Rachael Maddow....you see she does pieces on anyone who is getting in the way of something she thinks is good.

Lieberman
Stupak
Nelson

Those were her targets during that time...not the GOP.

So, please don't blame us for everything.

The very same Jefferson that in the very same letter stated that a democracy is "impracticable beyond the limits of a town"?? Oh... and not to leave out "My most earnest wish is to see the republican element of popular control "

You are a goddamn liar and goddamn agenda driven manipulator.... bitch

"Many are stripped from registration rolls by states seeking to remove inactive voters."


guess what ID laws do?

keep poor people from registering to vote.

That line is from your own article.

Thanks for the evidence of more voter intimidation from the right

It never said that.
It said it is removing inactive voters period.
Now liberals are trying to get Driver Licenses for illegals so that they can still vote.
And you keep ignoring the Constitution where it says we a guaranteed a Republic form of government .
Not a Social Democracy of which we have become by both parties TM.

And voter ID laws are designed to keep poor people from voting.

Poor people move much more than non poor people and have to renew their IDs much more often.

That is why the republican party has used this to keep poor people from voting.

Moving??? Your joking right!!!! When you move you call the DMV give them your new address, write it on the back of your ID, and your good to go. Unless of course you are a complete moron.

Will the freaking left wing ever stop whining about the unfairness of it all when Barry has to deal with a republican majority in the House of Representatives? Fannie Mae collapsed during a democrat majority in both the House and the Senate during Bush's 2nd term.

Wrong again. Tea Party was born due to the takeover of the Democrat party by the radical Left, and the Republican's unfortunate penchant to strive to compromise with them.

But radical Leftists must be defeated, not compromised with.

Ouch !!!

I am afraid that TruthIsAnIdiot is not familiar with the Federalist Papers where it was specifically stated that they rejected the idea of a democracy in favor of a republic.

Even at the city level, we elect a city council (i.e. reps).

She is a moron.

Jefferson also said this:
"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them"
Most bad government has grown out of too much government".
And this is what we have become and this is what we need to change.
