If it is good for America, why isn't it good for Congress and the president?

    Record keeping in Kenya apparently isn't up to snuff.

    Funny thing about that whole "rushing into a bloodbath" argument is that it had bipartisan support and I don't recall the GOP using parliamentary hocus-pocus to sneak shit through either.

    Try again.

    Yeah, that yellow-cake uranium in Niger thing was way on the up and up.

    If I felt up to it, I'd pull out Boom's list of quotes from Clinton, Daschle, Kerry & Co. regarding Iraq's WMD program.

    Oh, that's right, their just poor ignorant liberals who were duped by George W. Bush.

    Well, when your sources are lying their asses off, the whole process involving entering Iraq is fruit of the poison tree.

    In this case, Obama has said for three years that the hallmark of his presidency would be getting a health care bill passed, and has laid out how he would do it. He has compromised at numerous turns. He learned the lessons of what LBJ faced with the segregationists in the Senate and rightfully is dodging the perniciousness of the filibuster, with the Republicans making clear that if Obama proposed a bill that the sun should rise in the morning, they'd filibuster it.

    I wish more liberals were honest about how little they cared about what people wanted. Your take was refreshing, dools.

    To what I'm sure is your great annoyance, the Dem leadership has abandoned the deemed to pass idea, so you'll need to find something else to complain about.

    You could go with reconciliation, but if you do, I'm gonna have to go ahead and bring up the Bush tax cuts.

    Also, dools, when the fuck has the government ever been accountable for anything?

    So they finally bribed enough Dems to vote for it? Didn't know that.

    Can't wait to see who whored out their votes.

    Every election. Other than that, never.
