        you leftards can't even get a bill passed with several years of congressional majority and over a YEAR of a senate "supermajority"....

        Yup majority rues, just wait until November... OH BTW was that your sentiment when Bush was president and the republicans were the majority??? oh no, not then huh?

          Um, the Senate bill passed in December 2009 with a supermajority of 60 votes, OTP. The House had previously passed their bill with the simple majority that House rules dictate. What is being done now is the House is having to pass the Senate's bill which is normal legislative procedure. Nothing which has been done so far is outside the rules and nothing has been done which was not done extensively when the Republicans had the majority.

          You really need to keep up.

        Seahawks, you ignorance of legislative process is apparent. It is completely absurd, not to mention tasteless and inflammatory, to suggest that the President of the United States is a dictator. Or did you miss that part?

      He's right. In dictatorships, only a single person has an influential national voice which he declares over the airwaves is the only true one and the politicians line up to curry his favor.

      Ummm...wait a minute....

          Obama was elected as were the Dems who now hold a majority in both houses of congress. How can you possibly describe that as a dictatorship?

      Now if this government is a dictatorship, how is it that Rush can still be complaining about it? If this was a dictatorship, Rush's lies would not make it to the airwaves.

      OKAY! Who wants to be the first to explain to Limpballs, OCD, and Seahags5-11 that THERE IS NO "LEGISLATIVE PROCESS" in a dictatorship?
