Awesome witty reply.

I like that line. Might have to borrow it for future referrences.

the line is supposed to be: if the opposite of 'pro' is 'con', then whats the opposite of "progress"?

Seems kind of rushed. If my team were playing in the Super Bowl, I'd rather have the staff and players spend 100 hours on preparation on it instead of 42. Maybe it's the old "quality versus quantity" thing.

Why would he be gloating over this? Yippee, the politicians got things done quickly for a change. Clearly, it's because Republicans are notoriously inefficient.

This reminds me of the dumb kid at school taking a test.

"Look! Ms. Jenkins I finish first!"

"Timmy, you need to answer the questions not just put your name and date on the test"

*the whole classroom laughs at Timmy*

i cant imagine whom i would be gloating against. i know some argue against raising minimum wage, because they are idiots...but as for the rest...i dont know
unless someone says something like:
"OMG!!! THOSE LIBERALS WANT TO CUT MY STUDENT LOAN INTEREST??? BASTARDS!!!! DONT FORCE YOUR RATE REDUCTIONS ON ME ****ERS!!!!"

or

"GODDAMNIT NOW MY GRANDMA MIGHT BE ABLE AFFORD HER HEART PILLS!!! BASTARDS!!!"

or even

"THEY'RE TRYIN STOP OUR DEPENDANCY ON ARABS!!!"

maybe ill have the opportunity to gloat. i wait patiently

perhaps some are upset over fulfilling the requests of the 9/11 commision? yeah, im lost

No, they're upset because it was done by Democrats. And since Democrats are, well, Democrats, then it must be bad.

If this reminds you of that, then I suggest you find something to comment on that you can understand.

Well, they should just not randomly invest money in shit. If renewable energies are efficent the industry will develop it on it's own. The government should just shut the **** up.

Minimum wages are generally shit. Though to some extent necessary at the moment.

Democrats and Republicans, honestly I don't care our bipartisan system just reminds me of bad sales training when I listen to their speeches.

I cannot believe the state of Missouri is ahead of the federal govt on a number of those issues as well.

Thank you for the suggestion. But I'm quite comfy were I'am. Appreciate the thought.

Conservatives have no reason to be upset except that this Congress did more in 42 hours than the 109th Congress did in two years.

Of course, by removing the tax breaks on oil companies, some neocons are seeing it as raising taxes. I even heard the old Republican stand-by "tax-and-spend liberal." Indeed, that label baffles me because every government taxes and then spends

... If you really don't understand what "tax-and-spend" means, then I seriously doubt your ability to understand anything.

No. It's because politicians are inefficient. Only someone who wants to propigate party lines would blame it on one side or the other. Or vice versa. Period.

It's just too bad you post pays respects to party lines.

Well, this is not quite true. Most Republican governments rape any surplus that exists prior to their reign, and then start stripping away what little social programs there are anyway. They then leave the mess for the next incumbent. By doing this they will have also diminished democracy by transferring decisions out of the public arena into private hands. Basically, they're bandits because the people who end up suffering the fall-out is the general population, not the top 1% who have the money to withstand it.

For more on this issue, and much more, check out Noam Chomsky's Imperial Ambitions.

The comment about Republicans being inefficient was made in jest.

Then I'm confused as to where my post "pays respect to party lines."

Or perhaps the Dems were just extremely efficient at blocking the other sides goals... Federal judges come to mind.
