I saw Chrissie going on and on about this. He kept talking about breaking a tie vote as if that’s all a Vice-President can do. And he insinuated that Dick Cheney took on powers to himself in an improper way. yadda, yadda, yadda..........
If Matthews had any IQ, he (1) would not be a slobbering DemoRAT, (2) would get an honest job where he could earn a reputation of doing something honest and positive for America, earning a living that would generate some respect.
Libs tend to ignore many parts of the constitution.
Prissy Chrissy makes Rocks Sound Intellegent by comparison to him!
I think if we win this, Vice President Palin should actually exercise the role of presiding over the Senate, at least during times when important matters are being debated and voted on, and she should use the chair fairly ruthlessly, just to gall folks like Chrissy.
Let’s look up “preside” in Johnson’s Dictionary, the standard when the Constitution was written. Preside: “To be set over; to have authority over.” President: “One placed with authority over others; one at the head of others. Governour; prefect. A tutelary power.” Is it not interesting that the same word is used for both the president of the United States and the president of the Senate?
Recent Presidents have talked about various roles for a Vice President in their Administration. Al Gore comes to mind. It only shocks prissy Chrissy that Governor Palin might have a policy role.
Maybe that's what Chrissy is afraid of?
Just many of Obambi’s “useful idiots”.
Mathews is a perfect example of the Peter Principle......a nitwit who has been promoted to his highest level of incompetence.
Under the penumbra of the US Constitution, Sissy Crissy is pw/\/3d by Palin.
yea, I didn’t understand the diatribe from the left on this matter...what she told the kid was fairly right on...you do push the presidents agenda..you do help twist arms to furthe the president agenda....you can have a hand in writing legislation.....you can preside over the senate if you were so inclined.
I call him Chris Tingle.
