Bull****the republicans being in control for half that time?
Republicans and Democrats are not necessarily Conservatives and Liberals...So it's really pointless to act like the Republicans are any better.
Once again, if you don't agree with Pointer you can't possibly be a conservative.Conservatives have never been in the majority... in either house of congress...
A 51% majority, in either house of the legislative, is NOT a controlling majority... They still have to have the "permission" of the opposition to pass a bill...ok so there have been no republican presidents or republican controlled congresses during the past 50-60 years?
It isn't... but President Bush won the election by masquerading as a Conservative and the masquerade is the "sin"...I'm sorry, but I fail to see how being a Moderate is some terrible sin.
This kind of statement is so typical of Liberals... (Democrats have never been my "target".)So now you've switched targets from Democrats to non-conservatives after witnessing the failure of the Republicans as well?
Ok, so how often have the Democrats had a controlling majority?A 51% majority, in either house of the legislative, is NOT a controlling majority... They still have to have the "permission" of the opposition to pass a bill...
A ruling majority is a minimum of 66% and in certain situations, an even greater percentage is required... I believe overriding a Presidential Veto is one of those...
do you really believe conservatives don't "spin" and "doubletalk" and "wormtounge" as much as liberals? you still missed a spot on that haloThey are so accustomed to "spinning and twisting" what other people are actually saying that they soon become experts at "double-talk" and "wormtonguing" and thereby evading the truth that stares them in the face...
Yes...do you really believe conservatives don't "spin" and "doubletalk" and "wormtongue" as much as liberals?
Now that's an respectful and open-minded question...Ok, so how often have the Democrats had a controlling majority?
Well I can't say I agree with you. When conservatives talk of the bible as a scientific theory, complain about other languages being taught in school and pretend it's not about xenophobia, claim that their "traditional values" are not about forcing others to follow the rules of their religion, whine about the drug war while consuming crappy beer and puffing on cigars...sounds pretty rabid to me. And I don't see how you or anyone else can claim to know how much guilt anyone else feels. You are no mind reader.Yes...
And when they do use it they are less rabid and they tend to feel a little twinge of guilt... Liberals don't recognize that "feeling"...
could ya back that up? when was the last time democrats had the veto-capable majority you brought up in both houses?Now that's an respectful and open-minded question...
Thanks for asking...
The Democrats have had the "controlling vote" in one or both houses of Congress for about five or six decades...
The Bush Administration brought itself down with a stupid, illegal and unjustified war. The Republican party brought itself down with ridiculous attempts to pull the nation's attention away from said stupid, illegal and unjustified war by pretending that flag burning and gay marriage were a threat to society.The "Liberal Left" (Having seen the writing on the wall.) began a systematic propaganda scheme to bring the Bush Administration and the Republican Party down... and they convinced the general public that there was a "vast RIGHT wing conspiracy" supposedly started in the Clinton years.
The Federal Government's roll is very simple...Why...it's a good idea to be charitable to those who need it, but not to allow the government to serve in this role.
More propaganda...complain about other languages being taught in school and pretend it's not about xenophobia,
Agreed... my family was Conservative Democrat until the Reagan years and we were part of the trans-migration.a good portion of your Democrats would have been conservative
My apologies (It seems I'm doing a lot of that lately)... I am getting punchy from all the Liberal Propaganda and I was apparently wrong in seeing you as one of "them".And I must say that this is a much more pleasant conversation than we've been having previously in the thread.
