What? Nothing on the president's speech last night?

Wow.

 

Thanks for the sig.

 

In its present form, almost certainly. It's hard to imagine 7 senators flipping, esp. with the recent NSA revelation.

 

See, I find this annoying. Several Democrats and Republicans wanted to enact a three month extension to tweak the Patriot act, but a largely Republican (I'm getting really tired of my party, it might be time to go independent and get it over with) contingent decided to go with an "All or Nothing" approach. Sure, there are some people to blame, but calling out only the Democrats is purely a partisan play.

 

NYT on last night's speech:

The Senate voted 98-0 to renew the Patriot Act.

 

The Senate voted 98-0 last week on the Patriot Act. Every single Dem and Reep agreed upon it. Then the House voted along partisan lines on their own highly devisive bill. What the Senate is refusing to pass are the House measures. And now Bush is blaming the Senate?

 

And the House took off for recess.

 

I'm thinking the Senators from New York and Los Angeles got a whole lot more popular in their home districts.

 

Los Angeles is its own state now?

 

One can only hope.

 

I was only quoting the mod.

 

If Los Angeles and Las Vegas have their own senators, then it's only fair that Washington DC should have senators too!!!

 

geeez...now you're sounding like wandering soccerdawg lobbying for a return of the cosmos...

 

The senator from Los Angeles. Almost as good as 'The city of Louisiana is under water.'

 

Both Feinstein and Boxer are from the Bay Area.

This isn't, by itself, definitive proof that George Bush's mother sucks cocks in hell. It's just more laughable crap from the Commander-in-Thief.

 

Exactly.

Seriously though... I can only hear the same things ad naseum so many times.

 

But you read posts on here almost every day don't you?

 

Which is actually a pretty valid comparison as most posts on here have about the same amount of substantive material as a Duya address.

 

If anyone has a FastPass for the midtown tunnel to hell, it's Barbara Bush.

 

Didn't you have them for 60 years or so?
