It's really too bad school vouchers weren't made available to you. I never said he didn't have a political career, i said it was unimpressive, as pretty much everyone knows. It seems you agree with the rest.

Unimpressive or not, the point was she had one and Gaga did not. Perhaps the reading issue us on your side of this conversation.

And don't assume anything.

So it's not an ideological opposition. You just have an arbitrary line of percentage of economy.

No, the key is consent. The mention of the size of the usurpation is to reference why it is politically difficult to obtain consent.

You sell both short and are factually wrong, not to mention sounding a tad racist coining either from you or Reid.

I sell them short? How so?

And I am racist for quoting Harry Reid??? You do know that the Democrats are the party of racists, right?

It was not she, it was he. Read, comprehend, read again, respond.

You chose to use the quote. You can't throw an insult and try to excuse it because you quoted someone else. You and not Reid chose to post it here.

They both actually accomplished things. It wasn't given.

Actually it was Republicans who fought for his civil rights. The Democrats fought a civil war against his rights and wouldn't have allowed him an equal education. They would have attacked him with dogs and fire hoses.

No, actually it was JFK's dream to pass Civil Rights legislation, it was LBJ who made that dream come true after JFK was assassinated in 1963. His dream was to have it apply to public accommodations, which wasn't included in earlier plans by Republicans. Even today there are many on the right who are against it. See my poll.

We don't live in a direct democracy. Consent comes in the form of electing representatives.

If we had to take a public vote on every aspect of every law, we'd have tons of services offered and none of them paid for. Lots of laws are unpopular. Do we repeal every law that ever has an unfavorable poll? The ACA has a lot of support for its major provisions. And a lot of opposition to the parts that pay for those provisions.

How do you get around the fact that every tax ever levied is unpopular?

Not exactly what I said. But in context, you making a case against Obama, you use that quoted to make your point. Not Reid's point alone, but yours. You can't pretend you're not connected to it.

Still not Reid. And in context, we were talking about both Hillary and Obama. Never Reid in that comment. So, try again.
 
Every 4 years, Republicans get behind some crazy old black man and postulate him as the voice of reason. They have taken well to the Magical Negro skit. Anybody remember Herman Cain? Allan Keyes? Bravo should do a "Where Are They Now?: Crazy Black Republican Edition"

The right wingers will just say you're only criticizing these people because they're black. Kinda like we criticized Palin because she's a woman.

Not, you know, because Cain or Palin were crazy. That couldn't possibly be why we called them crazy. ;)

Allan Keyes is awesome though!

Yeah... he's like that uncle you don't invite to family reunions.

I would invite him. He is a lot of fun, has great stories and is an incredible speaker. Insane, sure, but entertaining.

Sadly for the Democrats, history didn't begin nor end with JFK. Perhaps you are a leftist because you aren't familiar with leftist history.
