Jack - the Republicans *passed* over 26 bills, that Harry Reid wouldn't take up on a vote. You ignored this point.
The Senate *never* proposed a budget, Jack....it's hard to sit down an have a conference when there is NOTHING TO CONFER ABOUT....so their "for public viewing only" requests to confer were all for show, all for lapdog liberals like you. You can't negotiate when you refuse to propose anything, Jack...I'm not sure how much clearer I can make that to you. But you go ahead and believe the liberal political stagecraft...they rely on good sheep like you.
As for Bush - no, I *squarely* blame Bush for Bush's spending - but he can only sign or veto what is presented to him...and I blame him for not wielding the veto pen, and I blame Democrats for holding the American people hostage - as Republicans had only small majorities, the Deomcrats could and did block everything Bush proposed...they held the country hostage (I think that's the term you Democrats use when a minority party blocks thing through procedure, right?) So I completely blame the Democrats in Congress for holding the US hostage to their excessive spending habits through the use of the filibuster and other techniques. Hostage-takers...that's what the Democrats were, right Jack?
And again, Jackie poo...I don't run...I *live my life*. I'm not a slave to WebDip as you are...I get satisfaction elsewhere in my life...something maybe you should try. Your pathetic attempt to insult me because I don't slavishly sit by my computer waiting for you to ignore another direct question just wont stick with any reasonable soul around here. Good lord, Jack, get a new line of attack...you are looking rather pathetic, I fear.
And Jack...the Tea Party didn't get their asses handed to them. They are a minority in a minority party. Here's what they did, Jack...they ran for office on principle, and then they stood by that principle and fought for their constituents...and somehow you think this is bad? lol Moron...
As opposed to Barack Obama, who in 2006 said raising the debt ceiling was a failure of leadership; said it was an immoral act to dump our excess spending on our kids and grandshildren; said it weakened the US...Obama said all sorts of terrible things would happen by raising the debt ceiling...and yet once elected, turned 100% opposite on his word...and *this* you find praiseworthy. Jack, you are either sadly uninformed, or you have no morals and no principles, and will follow a man who tells you absolutely contradictory things from one day to the next and still you will believe him. What the hell does that say about *you* I wonder? For one, it means you are not acquainted with truth and integrity in your daily walk through life, and as such, it truly makes if difficult to take anything you say seriously.
For example, your supposed Tea Party family members...I question their existence, and certainly doubt that you have any relationship with them in which you have any idea what their views are. You are simply *not* a believable person, Jack - you are a man who acquaints himself closely with lies, and supports liars with great fervor...meaning that you, by association, are a liar, Jack.
