The Government Shutdown (or Why We Will Never Get Out Of This Mess...)

Tea Party? 2/3 of that is still controlled by the dips. No one from the Tea Party was even in the negotiations.

 

Actually the Cons weren't even all that involved. They let the lobbyists write the legislation. So the Cons were just shill mouthpieces for big business AGAIN!

 

So you are saying BO is backing the lobbyists that he promised would not be part of his government?

 

Paraphrasing....NOT your friend.

 

So you agree that BO is signing up with the lobbyists. You can even include Reid in that group.

 

Tell ya what. Next time you want to start a sentence with the phrase, "So you are sayng…" do us all a favor and just stop yourself. You just come off looking like a fool when you try to put words in other people's mouths.

 

That problem you keep having with the facts again, huh?

 

Your sniping was meant as factual??? Seriously??? Jon Kyl would be proud of you.

 

And Blago would be proud of your efforts

 

Rlm Now Says He 'Misspoke' On Planned Parenthood So Everyone Should Please Stop Making Fun Of Him
First Posted: 04/15/11 11:31 AM ET Updated: 04/15/11 11:42 AM ET

Senator Rlm (R-Ariz.) received a fusillade of criticism when he took to the Senate floor to declare that abortion was "well over 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does." That criticism soon turned to ridicule after his office responded by releasing a statement that said that "his remark was not intended to be a factual statement." Everyone has been making fun of him on Twitter and on late night comedy shows, and it really hurt his feelings. So now, Rlm is "clarifying" himself once again.

Asked if he regretted the flap, Rlm said Thursday: "I misspoke when I said what I said on the floor - and I said so." But what about the claim that it was "not intended to be a factual statement" when Rlm said 90 percent of Planned Parenthood's services were abortion related? "That was not me - that was my press person," he said.

Got it. See, when Rlm said a bunch of things that were not true, he obviously had some sort of malfunction in the speech center of his brain. Clearly, what he meant to say was "Three percent of Planned Parenthood's activities are related to abortion, and now that I'm saying this out loud, I forget why I was making such a big deal about it in the first place, so I yield the floor." But an episode of some kind of dysphasia caused him to form entirely different syllables, so while it looked to the world like he was absolutely speaking with perfect clarity of voice and thought, it was all really just a mangled mistake. That observers couldn't see that he was misspeaking is just a terrible coincidence.

Oh, and then some idiot -- "my press person" -- said some even dumber things to CNN, but why was anyone in the news taking the things Rlm's "press person" says seriously, as if his "press person" was somehow authorized to speak to the press, on Rlm's behalf?

So, really, this was everyone else's fault.

 

You are making Blago even prouder.
