Lyndon Johnson Letter Shows What's Wrong With The Senate Today

“When was the last time a filibuster actually ocurred? I don't recall an actual one happening.”
dizmo4 replied on Nov 25, 2009 at 17:01:32
“They've changed the filibuster rules so its not he "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" style of filibuster in which a Senator or groups of Senators stand there reading the phone book.
There's now a variety of procedural maneuvers that the opposition can do without ever having to endure the talking for 24 hours. For example, requiring the bill to be read aloud after each amendment is passed, adding weeks to any debate.
In effect, its easier to filibuster legislation today than it was in previous years.
The simple solution is to go back to the time when you force the opposition to hold the floor. Talk endlessly for weeks if they want to kill legislation.”

“All they have to do is threaten one.
In 2008-09, the Republicans mounted around 90 of them...far and away a record.
I agree with author's point, but just remember, the Dems filibustered Republicans some years back when they were in the minority, and a Democratic majority is no sure thing in the future.”

“You know, because oratory isn't an asset doesn't mean the behind the scenes work in committee and so forth isn't there. There are a vast number of legislators that work hard and produce, but don't flock to interviews. They let their work speak for them. Caroline had proven herself a hard and successful worker behind the scenes in everything she tried. She was not a typical politician, even coming from such a political family.”

Adam Lambert's AMA Performance Draws THOUSANDS Of Complaints To ABC
Commented Nov 24, 2009 at 15:02:23 in Entertainment
“When it comes to Lambert, remember the old Stones song - 'it's the singer, not the song'.
I didn't watch the show because he was going to be on it. Saw clips though, and considering that our children were subjected to his antics, I find it sickening. It proves that this clown doesn't have the confidence in his singing.
I'm wondering if network censorship prevents performers were smoking on live TV, yet allows crap like that to go.”

“For those of you who are not fortunate to have a man like Sherrod Brown representing you in Washington, you are missing out. Brown is the kind of elected official that continues to give me hope that all is not lost and not every politician sells out.”

“Yeah, that is why he is not putting forth any legislation to help the middle class.
That is why he is not supporting repeal of DADT.
What has Brown DONE to help lead us out of this economic travesty? What?”

“And just how many good Catholic women has this cleric given communion to who have actually HAD an abortion?

“They're against birth control in any form, as well. I know plenty of women that receive communion regularly and are on the pill. According to church dogma, that's just as bad.
They bend the rules to suit their purposes most of the time. As do many "pious" people. They're called "convenience catholics".”

Cleveland Browns Name "Heaping Pile of Shit" As Their New Starting QB
Commented Nov 17, 2009 at 20:28:08 in Comedy
“Please! No more QB's! The Browns need so much it's ridiculous. It's hard to decide where to begin, but a good o-line would be a nice start. I don't want a franchise quarterback getting killed behind a poor line anymore. Bradford with a bad shoulder to begin with wouldn't last long in Cleveland - and who the heck would mentor him there?
I'd prefer Anderson over Quinn anyway. Quinn is overrated, inaccurate, antsy in the pocket, and has no poise. Get rid of Quinn and wish him luck. Anderson has an arm and given a decent line and good playmakers (catching the ball) he can score points - he proved that when he earned the Pro Bowl in 2007.”

Brady is great in the weight room, but he's no NFL quarterback. Great in high school. Pretty good in college. Terrible as a professional. He'll probably have a decent career as a pro, but he's not starter material on a good team. As in college, his passing accuracy is below average.”

“"Pretty good in college"???? How many records did he break for ND?? Or do you not really follow college football & did not check your facts before you spoke???? Also was he not up for the Heisman???? Maybe he didn't win the heisman but as a college football fan who knows what she is talking about, I thought you have to be somewhat a good ballplayer to be up for the heisman!”
