So now you are backing off your arguement even more to it being about perception. I have never argued that Republicans are not effective at creating political theater for stupid people.

Are you saying Democrats are so terrible that not even the stupid people buy their crap any more?

I haven't backed off of anything. while the ability to keep more than one idea in your head at a time may be foreign to you, I assure you it is no trouble for me.

Is this about perception of the meaning of these votes by the Dems or the actual meaning? Your entire argument has been that these votes meant something and now you claim it is "just perception."

I agree it is about perception. The perception of reality through your ignorance. The purposeful manipulation of the ignorance of the voting population. Continue to be one of the ignorant masses or free yourself. It is up to you slave.

It means Obama got slapped down publicly for his shenanigans.

That is meaningful because it influences perception.

Obama lost. Democrats lost. You lost.

It's a good day for America.

Congress is a gaggle of idiots but so is much of the American public they represent. Without them there would be no freedom. I fear the future of this nation freedom wise. Both parties already took away so many of our freedoms just from one small terrorist attack on 9/11. The US hasnt really faced a huge disaster yet and after that will America still be free?

They shouldn't. It was right to slap him down hard and unanimously. He deserved to look like an ass for that mockery of a budget he submitted.






Coming up with a budget isn't the President's job... It's Congress

Let's be rational... Obama could of proposed Paul Ryan's fantasy and it still would of been voted down 414-0





Abdicate = fail to fulfill


That pretty much sums up the strategy of the (R) during our most desperate time.
