[Clio the Leo]

And it's Stars baby --> ******* not "greater than" sign......... sheesh .... amature. ;)

[Kdillard]

4. Does it seem like it has the votes to pass?

[Armstead]

6. Nope -- it would in a sane world -- But he wants to at least get the concept out there

[Freddie Stubbs]

18. Oh course not

[asdjrocky]

5. The bully pugs are making the clerk read the entire amendment.

Even though they know and we know it has no chance of passing.

Sick bastards. They really know how to kick a party when it's down.

[Armstead]

7. I wish we were just as mean and effective

We might get something done if we took a few lessons from them in how to use power (and how to be effective without majority power)

[asdjrocky]

9. There is not a word I can use here for how I feel about the performance of the Dems.

Just makes me sick.

[MH1]

10. If that clerk ever voted R before, I bet he won't now.

what assholes.

[Armstead]

13. Unless he gets paid by the word

[Cleita]

11. I think that's a good thing. I hope people are listening.

Maybe this obstruction tactic will back fire on them.

[kirby]

14. Coburn I believe...

I think Coburn from OK is the asshole making them read all 366 pages.

[Clio the Leo]

16. And the estimate is that it will take 8 hours....

..... so go get some.... :popcorn: (and some coffee)

[Freddie Stubbs]

19. So, if everyone knows that it has no chance of passing,

why the heck is Sanders introducing it in the first place?

[Rhiannon12866]

8. Thanks! Got it on now!

:thumbsup:

[kestrel91316]

12. I love Bernie Sanders. THIS is the law we want.

And I love that it is being read in its entirety. People need to hear with their own ears what is being proposed by the THINKING PEOPLE in this picture. Not filtered through the MSM noise machine.

[Popular Front]

15. Sanders is not a Democrat.

This is DEMOCRATIC underground. We should stand by the President, not an independent SOCIALIST.

[madmom]

20. The difference between a dem and a repug, when our guy does something we think is

wrong we will call him on it, repugs not so much. Sanders is an independent socialist, he is also right!.

[kirby]

21. A noob lecturing DU?

With only 84 posts under your belt, are you the best to be lecturing us?

Besides, Sen. Sherrod Brown and Sen. Roland Burris are two Democratic cosponsers.

[Popular Front]

23. I am lecturing to you because it is my duty to defend my President

Against Republicans, independents, socialists, you name it. If you don't have a D next to your name, don't bother.

[kirby]

24. And I just told you...

Two Democrats are co-sponsors of this bill.

[Armstead]

25. Em, niot sure I'd bother

[Popular Front]

26. Then make it about the Democrats/progressives instead of the independent SOCIALIST from Vermont n/t

[Armstead]

28. You are kidding right?

[asdjrocky]

31. No. No it is not.

Who gave you the job as Democratic Avenger? I'm sorry, I know you're new, but you are really sounding nuts here.

You are telling people who have been at DU for years who they can and can not support.

[wolfgangmo]

36. The Democratic Avenger!!!!!!

Bwahahahahahaha. (wipes off computer screen)

[asdjrocky]

38. This is getting just too damned funny.

[wolfgangmo]

35. Duty?

Excuse me,, but are you military or in some public office that requires you to discharge a duty to protect the president? Have you sworn an official oath?

IF not then you don't have a duty, you have a desire.

[kestrel91316]

22. Sanders is more of a Democrat than the majority of alleged Dems in Congress.

Don't come in here as a newbie and try to dictate who and what we support.

[flpoljunkie]

27. Yes. Sanders comes from the 'democratic wing' of the Democratic party.

[Popular Front]

33. For the last time: Sanders is not a Democrat. He is an independent socialist.

If independent socialists are the "democratic wing" of the Democratic Party, then you would be correct.

[asdjrocky]

29. Alright, that's about enough out of you.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

32. thanks for playing, junior, but I don't think so

Thanks for the 2nd grade-level lecture, but I don't really need it, nor will I accept it from you. Go tell someone else all about the way things should be, and about how one should "stand by the President" irrespective of what he does and does not do. You're probably accustomed to your line of argument working with the inbred, the afflicted, and other GOP types, but it tends to hit a wall in those places where critical thinking skills are occasionally applied.

[Popular Front]

34. The GOP stands by President Obama?

You must be joking. :crazy:

[Armstead]

17. I have it on in the background -- With the reading it's kind of like Political Muzak

Waiting for Bernie to come on and really hit the message home

[asdjrocky]

30. Yeah, I'm looking forward to Bernie as well.

At least we have someone to speak for the people.

[quantass]

37. k

[quantass]

39. So what is the ongoing EXCUSE to kill all SP amendments / bills? n/t

[quantass]

40. Wow he is on page 48 of 366. Lond day....The amendment is here...
