How about any Republican who filibusters will be forced to listen to Mitt Romney sing America The Beautiful.
LOL, good one Alva! I cringe every time its replayed and cant hit the mute button fast enough.
Cruel & unusual punishment I'm afraid.
SJGlass- McConnell sings like he legislates. (youtube) Observe the mounting terror as he struggles to appear as if he has some clue what the words are.
Yay Ezra- excellent excellent shows. Very entertaining presentation especially decorative flourishes on the polar explorer story. Someone had a lot of fun writing that one. Great interviews as well. It was interesting to see you give a senator intel.
Sorry, but I turn Ezra off as soon as he starts his 'the fiscal cliff will kill us all' routine that's exactly the kind of thinking that will get us a lousy deal that's worse than no deal at all.
Since the cave man seems to be back, I'm glad I voted Green!
Not sure who the cave man is - but I knew Obama wasn't capable of exceeding his design specifications, which is why I voted Green myself...
I am as well as the Presdient and many others are tired of the crap. The very most important thing I remember the crappy Congress did was voting to give themselves a raise. What a pile of peep peep peep?
You realize of course that any Repub who has the gall to vote for any Obama / Reid budget bill would now be called a Whacko In Name Only. Yes, that's WINO in Repub speak..
Everyu day something new and the news about the fiscal cliff is getting old.
We elected President Obama because the Republicans seemed so out of touch.
We believe in taxing the wealthy, extending the unemployment to keep many from the poverty edge, and not giving in on SS Benefits or Medicare cuts. We won the election with overwhelming support. Yet we know the republicans bullied Rice so they could get Scott Brown back in Mass (everyone knew that was coming) . Can we stop and hard hit the republicans to show them why the masses supported the Democrats.
Are you kidding me? A singing filibuster would be freaking AWESOME!
Let's get it done people. We can do this.
I could not agree with you more!
I am so tired of the Republicans. Don't give in Obama, remember why we supported you and stood in lines to get you re-elected. Hold out on SSN and Medicare changes and hold fast for unemployment extension don't let more of us slip below the poverty level. Don't make the unemployed the next homeless population.
Don't the Republicans remember they lost and why they do not care or even relate to the people.
Just a quick comment on the David Gregory incident. I find it interesting that no media outlet or commentator has noted that in the only locality where the U.S. Congress makes city laws they have baned high capacity magazines . They banned them where they live and work, while its ok for the rest of us to be at risk from these high capacity killing machines where we live and work. Perhaps we have become so acustom to the hypocracy of our elected officials that we no longer notice these things or think they are noteworthy. If that is the case our democracy is indeed in jepordy.
You know the only reason the Republicians don't want to work with the President from the first Election to now is because he is ( BLACK ) !!! I don't care what you say, that is the only reason. We need to get the old ones OUT and put in New ones. They have made a lot of MONEY off of their job, they vote themselfs Raises,Retirement and then want to cut the Social Securty and Medicare when they don't have to worry about things like that,because they have the money too live-on. Why not take their S>S>and the like from them, they have money to live on!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As you see they worry more about keeping their post then the( PEOPLE ) they are supposed to be working for YOU and ME. (They are WIMPS )
S.A.D. for them
I hope everyone see this and really starts to do some hard thinking. Wake Up
CSPAN would be much more interesting if seeing a rendition of Gilbert and Sullivan.
