    Keep whining. "They did it too!" does not justify anything. You keep claiming your party is better, but they sure as hell don't seem interested in taking this opportunity to show it.

    You want to argue that Democrats were wrong to put politics ahead of the good of the country in the past? Fine, but then you have to admit Republicans are wrong to do it now. More importantly, Republicans run the risk of giving the voters one more example of the type of obstruction they have been engaging in since Obama took office.

    Their job isn't to make sure as little as possible gets done while a Democrat is in the White House. It is to govern. That you can't see it just gives us one more example of you being a political fanboy who cares more about credit and blame than the good of the country.

    You have the political acumen of a lizard.

    Ask Harry "the bills from the GOP House are piling up on my desk" Reid about that.

    See how that is done, fart boy? I know Tony would never admit to anything in my post even though he knows I'm right. He knows he can't avoid being a hypocrite unless he admits the Democrats were right in the past or the Republicans are wrong now. I think he realizes that the political divide in this country is getting in the way of actual governing far too often. I think he even realizes that rooting for laundry no matter what is fine for sports, but not a very good idea when it comes to politics. I know he is incapable of any analysis beyond finding fault in everything Democrats do and supporting everything Republicans do, but at least his response was somewhere in the realm of the topic.

    Now look at your post and tell me what it has to do with the topic. Thank you.

    The same with Biden. Several times in fact.

    But of course, this point you're making is going to sail over the head of multiple people on here.

    Sure, there was, and about 50 of them were bills to overturn the ACA.

    Reid should have had his caucus go on "record" instead of having them hide behind him. The "GOP are meanypants" argument is tough to top, though.

    I've been on topic all day on these subjects. Your shat-out thoughts are beneath critical inspection.

    They already did go on record by voting to approve it in the first place.

    And here I was giving you credit for at least being better than fart boy. My mistake. I gave you too much credit.

    There is only one part of my post that you can argue on its merits. Perhaps you really don't have enough self-awareness to realize that I'm right the rest of it. I'll even put it in bullet points to make it easier for you to digest.
    • You are a political fanboy. You always attack Democrats and you always defend Republicans.
    • If the Democrats and Republicans both do the same thing, they are either both right or they are both wrong. If you attack Democrats for doing something while defending Republicans for doing the same thing, you are a hypocrite.
    • You pay far too much attention to politics to not realize that the divide between the parties is getting in the way of effective government.

    There are people on this board who would defend the "Final Solution" if their party proposed it.
