comgress polarized? blame the GOP

[SniperFire]

When the minorty rules you dont have the people in control

The minority does not rule.

The minority can only prevent tyranny of the majority.


dumbass.

 

[peach174]

why did he call us a democracy?

He didn't.
He said representative democracy (majority of voters) pushed by a Republic form of government (outlined in our Constitution of what type of Republic we should be).

go start thread on it

Why? I'm not the one who brought up Jefferson. You did.

The rest of us are talking about the gridlock.

 

[Papageorgio]

why do you refuse to face the facts that the republican party is acting against how the founders designed the system?

A simple 51 votes in the Senate would end the filibuster procedure. Why don't the Dems vote it out of the procedures, instead of crying about it?

 

[Truthmatters]

what the republicans are doing is controling the government so it will fail

 

[Immanuel]

The fopunders designed a system BASED on compromise.

Do you hate the founders for that?

The system the Founders designed ALSO makes voter fraud illegal. But some seem to conveniently forget that "little" detail.

Yes they do and the republicans have cheated for decades in elections

Do you realize that he was writing about you? No, of course you don't. That too was over your head.

It is Democrats that oppose Voter ID Laws BECAUSE they encourage people who can not legally vote to vote knowing that the vast majority of people who can not legally vote are illegal aliens who tend to vote for the free hand outs the Democrats offer them.

Thus, it was you and your insipid party that tjvh meant when he/she stated that "some seem to conveniently forget". Get a clue!

Immie

 

[Truthmatters]

It is unprecidented in our government to have the minority crushing every attempt to govern

 

[Papageorgio]

Why do you defend the horrible tactics of the republican party in congress to subvert the peoples choices

Why do you defend Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats?

So who's telling Harry and Barry majority rules??

A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where 51 percent of the people may take away the rights of the other 49." ~ Thomas Jefferson

[Leweman]

The republicans are subverting the founders wishes with their scorched earth tactics

There are 293 Republicans in the House and Senate, there are 246 Dems in the House and Senate, there is 1 Dem President.

So that means there are more Republicans in Congress than Dems, but that's not how it works. If we had a true democracy that TM claims, the Republicans would control everything.

how many voters were behind each election?

or do voters not figure into your little rant

legal voters?

Why do you defend Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats?

Because they are trying to defend what the people voted for.

Unlike the republicans who are subverting the founders wishes

So by shelving bills that could pass and causing gridlock, that is okay, however, Republicans that do it are wrong?

You just said they are in the minority. What is wrong with your brain?

 

[SniperFire]

It is unprecidented in our government to have the minority crushing every attempt to govern

It is unprecedented to have a tyrannical majority so hell-bent on getting their way that they simply refuse to do budgets and elsewise attempt to run the Nation by emergency fiat / executive order.


You are getting your pathetic ass kicked.

As stated.. tactics by DEMs are ok in your eyes
Same or similar tactics by REPs are bad in your eyes...

hence showing your hypocrisy and your hyper-partisanship

 

[Truthmatters]

They are NOT the same you lying ack of shit

 

[DiamondDave]

Harry Reid shelving budgetary bills is what??
