Let me guess, you recently bit him on the ankle and are proud of it?

Hopefully this is good news for Massachusetts!

Personally Martha Coakley reminds me too much of Alice Drummond (Ray Finkle's mom in Ace Ventura) to get my vote. Plus she's a communist.
Nasui you wouldn't know a communist if one bit you in the ankle.

Long ago, in my wonderfully misspent youth, I could distinguish between at least 9 flavors of communists by year and vineyard.

All communists say that you know.

Obama educating the American people we have had it all wrong the the 22nd amendment is not so much a constitutional rule, as it is more of a guideline. Hence Obama releases the following message.
"Why I understand the 22nd amendment, and acknowledge it's existence. I am imposing upon and informing the American people of the Bilateral Limitless Obama Within-forth Measure Exemption. or B.L.O.W.M.E. act. of 2015. Eliminating any measure of term on Obama leadership restrictions hence forth. Hugely popular with Obama supporters. Extending his leadership term.....

I will bet that nothing will change.

The Boston Globe agrees with me.

Vote all you want. The secret government won’t change.

No, your mother did. But to be fair she growled first.

Actually for someone my age I am remarkably drug free. Aspirin and medical MJ is about it.

And I can't find any of the fun ones anymore. Darnit.

Tough to say. A week is a plenty of time for Democrats to talk like they are Republicans and pretend they aren't just a rubber stamp for President Obama. They can fool enough people. They always do.

Between that and rounding up homeless people; giving them a sandwich and a hot shower to vote Democrat, the Dems still have a shot to guarantee gridlock by keeping the Senate and continuing their obstruction of regular order while yielding all power to Executive Orders.

Republicans are probably going to take majority in the senate and Obama will spend the next few years blocking anything they do. That will become a double edge sword though because anything done by executive order can be undone by executive order. The next President can undo anything President Obama has done via policy with a mere stroke of the pen. With the way the political climate is going I suspect the next President will be a Republican, assuming they field a moderate one that is.

The Republicans don't even have to field a moderate candidate to win the next presidential election.

People are going to see how much of a hypocrite Obama is, and all the next candidate has to do is paint Clinton as Obama 2.0. Like how Obama painted McCain as Bush 2.0.

You yourself should know it's not that easy to collect from these programs. Plus the lifeline program went into effect in 1985, when the almighty Reagan was in office. The trickle-down myth spreader that he was.

And yet every leftist on this site will continue to preach the meme that Obama has no responsibility for the legislation he doesn't pass. It's the legislature's job to pass stuff that will not be veto-ed you know.

Errr...What? I'm fairly sure that the Maxine cartoon in greeting cards has been around since in the 1980's.

Nothing is going to come out of the senate regardless. Obama won't have to veto anything.

The bullet train? I have my suspicions that if TX did opt in, the project will drag out over fifteen years like I-35. Do you realistically think a bullet train wouldn't be a time/money pit in TX?

Did you ever take a look at Kathy Glass? If you're feeling squeemish over Abbott or Davis, go look at Glass. It will induce a few chuckles.
