Is 2014 when we might really see right wing ideas?

then you have nothing to use as a barometer to measure his action/inaction
excepting very biased opinion
'next

Really? That's your reply. The proverbial "you have nothing" thing? Which, ironically, indicates you have nothing yourself.

Dang, forgot how epiclly lazy Progs are.

Congress Is On Pace To Be The Least Productive Ever : NPR

We're only at halftime for the 113th Congress, but if current trends hold, it's well on track to being the least productive lawmaking effort in the nation's history.​
 
Memory sharp as ever. Thanks for the concern though.

When my Dad left Travis AFB in '64, I was 10-YOA and the Beatles were just hitting big..Summer of '64..Been back several times and always miss CA..Great way to send off "windless-stick" last night with Mays/McCovey..Dad and I went often..MT. Shasta, the coast, sturgeon, Yosemite .

but you insisted this was harry reid's fault, yet you are unable to offer anything which would prove your assertion to be valid
except for your biased opinion ... which carries exactly zero value in this discussion

The family tree has roots to 1872 in Southern California. All your above is why they continue to stay planted here, despite a "climate" not to friendly to what I try to do.

While I've linked to NPR, you've offered nothing in rebutal, which exceeds my expectations....

The article you posted mentioned several things and people, not just Reid.
 
one of the few good things about having two groups of extremists in government is that they cancel each other out, preventing the passage of ****ty legislation

That must be why we've had nothing but GREAT legislation for decades. :roll:

it's why we have not seen a lot more stupid legislation, like privatizing social security, come to fruition

it mentions he was hospitalized, but it says nothing about how his practices have been detrimental to governance
all we have is your uninformed opinion
quelle surprise!

Geeze, now that was weak. Come on, you must be able to do better that that. You've continued to offer ZERO, while claiming the article specific to the point doesn't measure up?

What a gift.
 
So for the last 5 years we have heard no new ideas from the GOP other than the fact they hate Obama and are against everything he does. That is not being pragmatic and makes the GOP look like the party of no with no ideas of there own. What ever happened to right wing ideas like the contract with America. I knew it was BS but it showed they where serous and has some new ideas. This modern GOP has no ideas other that cutting the tax rate for the rich and repealing the ACA. You are going to have to do better that that my right wing friends. What is it?

Still pushing old talking points eh? The Repubs have plenty of ideas. Its just a little difficult to push any of them when you're conceding both the WH and Senate.

Many things the House has been pushing never even get voted on in the senate.

good, share with us the republican ideas ... and since you insist they are 'plenty', i look forward to a thorough list

:lamo

That's awesome justa.

Here is my quote:

"Ok. Well, on my hit parade for '13 is the Reid Senate ranking among all the preceeding Congresses. Historic, and the only real measure worth remembering."

Note I didn't write the "Reid Congress".

This is why Progs deserve the pushback on so many issues. You have things in writing, yet you can't comprehend them. Claims are made that are so easily refuted. Yet the condemnation is made, based solely on fantasy.

This habit is probably something to add to the Progs Resolution List for '14 - "Don't project and manipulate any more"

all that and you continue to be unable to offer anything which tells us reid is responsible for this congressional intransigence
... well nothing beyond your uninformed personal opinion
 
good, share with us the republican ideas ... and since you insist they are 'plenty', i look forward to a thorough list

Healthcare savings accounts.
Purchasing health insurance across state lines.
Tort reform.
Right to work.
Entitlement reform.
Tax code reform.

You get the idea.

As usual, James, you open your threads with a statement that bears no relation to fact or history. You then spout off with blather that is nothing but illogical, biased tripe. And...somehow...that makes you feel like you are making a difference.

That is not being pragmatic and makes the GOP look like the party of no with no ideas of there own. What ever happened to right wing ideas like the contract with America.

No, James, you will be surprised...even though you shouldn't...when the ideas of the Republicans finally get implemented in 2015 and after 2016. You'll also be very surprised when the economy takes off like a rocket...making it clear to everyone, especially historians, that Obama has been the worst President this country has ever had.

They have been doing nothing BUT put forth bad legislation. One piece after another, for decades. I see you are stuck on the SS thing, but there is far more out there to look at… but heaven forbid we as a people hold each other responsible for our own planning and retirement rather than becoming a ward of the state. :roll:

that proposal, to privatize social security, so illustrates what would constitute stupid governance

yes, when we have more job seekers than available jobs to be filled, it is so appropriate to attribute lack of gainful employment to personal irresponsibility rather than a weak economy which undermines opportunities for full employment [/sarcasm for those who need it]

but please don't be distressed about it, because we still have the best government money can buy

no, i don't get the idea
all you have listed is an array of issues
you have offered us nothing to show us how the republicans have striven to address those matters only to be thwarted by the democrats
i can only presume that is because you are without anything to offer ... other than a list of issues being paraded as ideas
 
:monkey

:good_job:

glad you approve that your assertion that the reid senate is responsible for the government's intransigence is found to bewithout substance
come back when you actually have something factual to offer

Oh no, no, no.

I approved of the fact you've brought nothing to the discussion, other than your own disjointed opinion, proof of which was found in the fact you can't even get reference to a written statement correct.

You're folly is quite entertaining, and I certainly encourage you to add to your long and illustrious resume.

and yet again, you show up without any factual information to prove your assertion
and your posts, consisting of nothing but lame BS, just won't flush
