I agree they are obstructing the libs from doing whatever they want random thoughts Send a noteboard - 08/02/2010 02:19:13 PM
I don't defend Shelby. I really have not seen the details of what he id doing I have only heard it discussed but assuming he blocking all appointments unless he gets some pork he needs to be slapped down by the GOP. Maybe lose all of his committee seats.

If the GOP is simply blocking bills to block bills the dems need to focus on specific things that are being blocked and stop the silly whining that the republicans need to be bipartisan and do things their way. If they want republican support they need to include republicans in writing bills and write some bills republicans can support.

Even so. Joel - 05/02/2010 05:45:54 AM 483 Views
Like the NYT? random thoughts - 05/02/2010 02:12:36 PM 518 Views
I don't believe the Times has ever conceded bias. Joel - 05/02/2010 06:03:02 PM 538 Views
and neither does Fox so I am not sure that matters random thoughts - 05/02/2010 06:40:15 PM 579 Views

PBS is biased random thoughts - 05/02/2010 07:21:14 PM 487 Views
You're entitled to believe that. Joel - 05/02/2010 07:31:07 PM 616 Views
PBS has an obvious yet undeclared bias so does NPR random thoughts - 09/02/2010 04:47:53 AM 447 Views
Even were that true (which I dispute) my statement stands. Joel - 09/02/2010 09:50:36 AM 561 Views
so they wouldn't be biased becuas it could hurt them but you still argue republicans attack them random thoughts - 09/02/2010 02:19:53 PM 521 Views
Sometimes the truth hurts, though it doesn't hurt PBS. Joel - 10/02/2010 10:15:13 AM 607 Views
We have been for some time. Joel - 02/02/2010 03:31:10 AM 510 Views
I don't think that's the case Isaac - 03/02/2010 02:59:50 PM 493 Views
Universal healthcare was the primary plank in Clintons '92 platform. Joel - 04/02/2010 10:02:18 AM 474 Views
That does not mean his bare plurality was an endorsement of National Healthcare Isaac - 04/02/2010 02:09:32 PM 605 Views
I don't think he won by default, and that was his primary issue. Joel - 05/02/2010 08:09:50 AM 625 Views

Probably time to go into 'summary mode' Isaac - 08/02/2010 07:34:55 PM 596 Views
Again, we're back to "how would you prefer to do it?" Joel - 09/02/2010 09:42:51 AM 620 Views
Any way that works, which currently probably is none Isaac - 09/02/2010 06:12:41 PM 559 Views
I think HDI is more accurate than nothing, though it certainly needs some fine tuning. Joel - 10/02/2010 11:03:08 AM 610 Views
Sorry for the delay... Isaac - 12/02/2010 11:40:21 PM 699 Views

Don't speak in absolutes and I won't read absolutes. Joel - 04/02/2010 10:08:43 AM 480 Views
Some qualifiers can be left unsaid for a clearer message. Or better delivery AgentOrange - 04/02/2010 10:26:56 AM 471 Views
Qualifiers are clarifying by nature. Joel - 04/02/2010 10:49:06 AM 600 Views
huh. That does make sense. I know malpractice is a big weight on the the system in the US. AgentOrange - 04/02/2010 11:58:37 AM 437 Views
Perhaps, but it's hardly the greatest weight, or even in the top three, IMHO. Joel - 05/02/2010 05:44:49 AM 587 Views
