Should the Democrats take back the Senate they actually convene 3 January...enough room
to get a nominee through if they change cloture rules for SCOTUS candidates.

Oh yes. During W's term in office:

1. W did not, with shameless deception, take us into an unnecessary, hidiously-expensive war of utterly evil effect.

2. The world economy was not plunged into chaos by a ruinous crash of the laxly-regulated investment banking system.

It was all just propaganda. Right.

1. You mean the one that Hillary and many other Democrats voted for? That war?

2. Was it W that repealed Glass-Steagall? IS nothing outside the US or the US presidency affecting the world economy?

I think that both Obama and Bush have been horrible for this country. Good lucking getting one of you moonbats to be objective in acknowledging the damage Barry's done.

The looney left always likes to accuse the GOP/conservatives of fear mongering when they engage in it themselves........the planet's going to go to hell, women's right are being taken away, christian theocracy, they're going to ruin social security blah blah blah......


Glenn Greenwald hit the nail on the head when he proclaimed that progressives are the most intellectually dishonest people there are today.

What Obama has done to get the right so pissed can be clearly seen here:

1. Right, Hillary was just as responsible as the PRESIDENT and his administration in starting that war.

2. You mean the Republicans now like Glass-Stegal and want it back?

Moonbats? Looney? And speaking of intellectual dishonesty, why don't you own all your own name-calling, instead of going for the pseudo-authority of putting it in a contextless quote from another writer?

Neither Hillary or the rest of the world would have backed us up if GWB had not lied to us. It is not just repealing one thing,Glass-Stegal, that did the 2007 crash. It took more, just like a jet plane crashing, and that why it's best not to have a coirrupt dumbass in charge.

Oh, you listen to one of those jerks who makes a very good living spinning the truth, that explains a lot.

The point is that many Democrats in Congress voted in favor of the Iraq war, including Hillary.

What do Republican feels on Glass_Steagall have to do with the fact that it was Bill Clinton who repealed it?

I've been called a racist, xeonophobe sexist etc etc so many times that it's an instinctual reaction. If you want context search for the Greenwald video on youtube yourself.

Yup. Dems good, GOP bad. Must not stray from the company line.

That's some primo objective, critical thinking you're engaging in there pal.
