RE :”
Did you read the part about the 2 “Independents” caucusing with the Rats giving them effectively 53? I'm confused now that that fact is in the conversation, why the 51 part was repeated? “
Did you read about the 49 Dems with the two independents giving them 51 against Republicans 49 plus Cheney in 2007??You are off by 2 again/
How about the 60 vote filibuster rule.
Be careful about depending on only Republican sources for info. I was talking to a Dem coworker today who was defending Obama on his citizens United attack on SCOTUS and after a few questions he had no idea what the case was about or what they decided, he just believed what Obama and MSNBC said. dont trust any media.

RE :”
Sorry... my bad... 49 + 2 made 51. Not 51 + 2 = 53. My apologies.”
:)
For a second I thought you had me so I looked it up. I almost believed it.
Back then I was making the argument to Republicans that we would be better off if it looked like Dems had a majority that was safely under the 60, say the 53 you thought they had so it be easier to make that case you guys are making, that Dems were in control.
Back then Reid could control the agenda but he couldnt pass anything unless he worked out a deal with GWB, and there was plenty of them.
In 2003 the Bush tax cuts were passed using budget reconcilation as the R majority was still well under the 60.
Everyone that knows me knows I have no fond memories of the GWB era, except maybe the Elito and Roberts confirmations.

Well, if my mis-reading of a Wikipedia chart is deemed a "Republican Source", I plead "guilty as charged"...lol
I always try and flip the argument and come at it from all angles like you do. I just get sick and tired of the lefties not having the same discipline...lol
I actually get my news from a lot of different sources and have been accused of listening to NPR occasionally. I would submit that your general Republican is probably more informed from different sources than your general Rat.
Back to the gist of the conversation. It is very frustrating for me to watch the Pubbies always wanting to "be loved" and "go along to get along" whereas the Rats are ruthless in their quest for power. The Pubbies have only gotten themselves in trouble with the "get along" attitude.
I say stick by your principles hell or high water all the way to a stalemate/shutdown and if the people vote you out for it, so be it. The sheeple will eventually get what they deserve and you can see that in a microcosm kind of way in certain areas that have been controlled by the Rats for decades. The county I grew up in is one such place and it is sad. I understand those that say they don't want the whole country to go that route.
I appreciate your point of view sickoflibs and I too am SICKOFLIBS!!!! lol

HA-HA, that is where I went to check on your claims but I was hesitant to tell you because I have had a few Bush-Bots claim that Wika is lying even when they (the bots) have been obviously wrong about stuff.
I was a enthusiastic GWB defender his first term but by late 2006 I realized I had been duped, I swore not to let his few remaining supporters re-write history.
In 2009 I thought Republicans should replace Boehner and McConnell and repudiate the GWB era.

Mika is in the same category as that bull dyke, "Mad Cow" Maddow, who while channel surfing the other night, I happened upon her show./
I stayed there for all of 15 seconds as she was railing against Mittens and I SPECIFICALLY heard he saying that Mitt "HAD SHED HIS SKIN", meaning he was a "Snake."
There is no conservative commentator who could get away with that reference to a Demo-Rat Presidential Candidate, especially (THOUGH HE ARE ONE) Dear Leader.

BTW... speaking of “sickoflibs”.
I recently took a new job after 22 years at a fairly conservative company and didn’t realize how liberal this company I now work for is. I am already looking to get out of here as it is REALLY liberal and my co-workers wear it on their sleeve.
I am a systems analyst with a lot of experience in database design and software development life cycle. It is a UNIX type database that is not one of the most used out there.
I am desperate to get out of there so if any Freepers know of opportunities in the Puget Sound area, freepmail me. Thanks!
Sorry for the commercial! Point being.... it sucks to work for a liberal company.

HA-HA, trying to get software engineers to work on legacy systems with older operating systems is one hell of a challenge. Many would rather wait on unemployment than put CRAP on their resume.
Imagine the last buggy-whip designer or the last Beta VCR expert.
Video killed the Radio Star (the Buggles) and internet (and liberals) killed MTV.

Shes seriously stupid.
When we're talking about leftists it's awfully hard to say this one is more stupid than that one, since they are all so seriously stupid. But with Mika, we can say she thrusts her stupidity out there in a way that makes her more noticeable.

RE:”

The lib I schooled today on Citizen's United once told me he saw an Republican political ad on TV in 2002 in GA that never existed. He swore over and over he personally saw it. I was able to prove to him through internet references that the ad he swore he saw could have never said what he said he heard.
During follow-up conversations I somehow mentioned that I use to sometimes listen to crazy lib Randi Rhodes on Air America (for entertainment, 2004-2005 time-frame) and so he says he used to listen to her too.
Then the bell range, this lib heard lib RR on the radio complain about a Republican commercial that said something the real one couldn't have said, and a few years later his memory forgot where he heard it and actually believed he saw it. I knew this because I heard RR telling this made up story back then and knew it was not true then,
No wonder he is terrified of Citizen's United. So many just depend on one or two information sources they trust, mostly because they confirm their world view.

Guys like me that have legacy experience also have a lot of knowledge on database design and what works (in the real world) and what doesn't.
I also have some training in some of the newer stuff but there is nothing like a 24/7 Unix based operation pumping millions of transactions flawlessly....lol

In fact Pelosi (back then) was much smarter than Republicans (now). She did everything she could to allow voters to believe that Rs still controlled congress in 2008, and it worked and a part of the reason why she won so big that election.Pelosi is like Foxy Loxy ("If you tell 'em a lie, tell a big one" "Who looks nice and stupid?") in the 1943 Chicken Little cartoon. The GOP would have Henny Penny, Turkey Lurkey, and of course Chicken Little.

The smart play would have been to abandon and blast Bush.
