I'll even go out of my way to meet you and even introduce you to some of the heavy hitters. Tommorrow you'll have forgotten all about this and move on to some other stupid point of purtiy. You're really quite pathetic and impotent in your rage. EOD is a complete dunce and I am betting you're a freaking semi-literate fundie.

She wasn't surpised.

It always meant Liberal Republican who votes with the Left frequently calling themselves "Fiscal" Conservatives..

It is serpentine but understandable.

McConnell challenged the constitutionally of McCain-Feingold which was an fully enacted Law not a proposal or thought experiment or silly tactic and had it declare Unconstitutional. So the point of the Legislature being Constitutionally constrained until even after enactment is tenuous but it is completely irrelevant in in judging a proposal.

He is operating as a strategic planner. He floated a trial balloon to draw fire and attention that diverted the responsibility from the HousRepublicansns. I am not going to throw him out for a proposal. Fri, 15 Jul 2011 19:13:05 +0000 http://tv.breitbart.com/gingrich-slams-mcconnells-plan/#IDComment173910890 http://tv.breitbart.com/gingrich-slams-mcconnells-plan/#IDComment173905952 I would tend to agree that the act of Politics is frequently indistinguishable from crime but his proposal was a clever ploy to get cuts and largely meaningless in a democrat dominating Senate. McConnell is concerned with strategic victories using tactics that might be distasteful for purist but necessary because of the composition of the Senate.

You seem like a good guy why are you trying to defend the indefensible?

I will give you that. You've yet to win a single point. 1- McConnell is a very bright political operative even if he is occassionally overly clever with impeccable conservative credentials. 2- In the US Constitution the definition of Treason is very narrow and not even Obama qualifies for prosecution. 3. People who don't understand Conservative are shooting our people only for abortive proposals.

No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

My goodness aren't you astute. The aforementioned putz: EOD made a stupid comment based on a single ill conceived legislative proposal that McConnell is both a RINO and is engaged in treason. After ample evidence to the contrary he continues to be in error ergo the Putz designation. I didn't care for McConnell proposal and saw that it went nowhere. One's political record is all that one has to determine the current trustworthiness of any politician and McConnell has performed very well over the last 15 years. The fundie comment is applied to people who insulted RESUPLICAUS and my creed in prior comments not a generic condemnation of any Christian People of Faith. If you're trying to illicit a reaction consider your self served as best as I can muster but now I am bored.

To interpret an ill concieved legislative maneuver as treason is laughable. trea·son    [tree-zuhn] Show IPA –noun 1. the offense of acting to overthrow one's government or to harm or kill its sovereign.

These silly putzes are proven wrong and they mark you down.. Petty losers and Sociopaths and undoubtedly fundies.

They don't listen, read or understand and yet we are stuck with them for votes but cripes they act like they were just dropped in from Venus and already know everything when they don't even bother to do the homework Southwood is totally smacked and I am betting is about 70 years old and in adult diapers.
