Re: Filibuster

I think the party being threatened by it should require the threatening party to actually go to the floor and start speechifying. If they actually had to take to the floor for 24 hours, the incessant filibusters would end.

Inky, you are absolutely right. This silent filibuster stuff is bullshit.

Whoever is the next President is going to have to figure out a major glitch in the Affordable Care Act.

WASHINGTON — The new health care law is known as the Affordable Care Act. But Democrats in Congress and advocates for low-income people say coverage may be unaffordable for millions of Americans because of a cramped reading of the law by the administration and by the Internal Revenue Service in particular.

Under rules proposed by the service, some working-class families would be unable to afford family coverage offered by their employers, and yet they would not qualify for subsidies provided by the law.

If this is true, and I doubt it is because Obama wouldn't do that, I bet this is due to something the right-wingers did.

Interesting that story broke today, while everyone is focused on Ryan.

Ironic that The IRS might be the ones to end up killing ACA.

Folks are just coming to grips with the idea that millions will not be able to financially comply with the mandate.

They might even go to jail if you believe Tom Junod's article in Esquire:

The Lethal Presidency of Barack Obama

Sure, we as a nation have always killed people. A lot of people. But no president has ever waged war by killing enemies one by one, targeting them individually for execution, wherever they are. The Obama administration has taken pains to tell us, over and over again, that they are careful, scrupulous of our laws, and determined to avoid the loss of collateral, innocent lives. They're careful because when it comes to waging war on individuals, the distinction between war and murder becomes a fine one. Especially when, on occasion, the individuals we target are Americans and when, in one instance, the collateral damage was an American boy.

Yeah, you've tried to float that article about five times in the last week, troll-boy (in several locked and nuked threads -- one of which stayed on the board almost a full day even under the 'no politics' edict).

Tell us again how you're going to vote for Obama. Disingenuous trolling bullshit is so cute.

But, it's par for the course, and part of the consipiracy, as you are. Sand in the gears.

How much you gettin' from KochCo, a nickel a post? Or are you one of their elite cyber-ratfuckers who get a quarter?

Not quite 48 hours. Maybe a record for our expectations. See you Nov. 7. Maybe.
