if Ember is Mitt Romney then that makes Obama's debate performance even more disappointing

maybe he's just a campaign adviser.

as for the filibuster, i wish it still required you to stand up and talk. perhaps these senators would be less apt to use it to jam up the gears of government if it required extended physical exertion to conduct.

well, that hardly proves you are a taxpayer!

which, by the way, brings up some questions. to quote leona helmsley, "only the little people pay taxes", and mitt (to name one) seems to pay taxes at a much lower rate than i do. so: if you are actually paying taxes, does not that imply that you are in fact one of the poor? because if you were really rich, your accountant would fix it so you didn't pay taxes. or at least, not many. and really, are you going to get all worked up about how congress spends your pocket change? (when you could spend the time getting worked up about how they dared to take your pocket change in the first place)

but i am interested in your waterboarding proposal. after all, it's not like we'd be torturing them!

It is actually legitimately one of the most bullshit things in legislature that the filibuster got proceduralized into a simple push-button process, and that you can filibuster simply with announced intent to filibuster requiring cloture to move on from.

I'm stealing this for the sinfest subforum.

Good work everyone! That was deeply entertaining, mostly because I am poor and don't pay taxes.

I've found that money doesn't really tend to matter on online forum communities. I've been part of the Sinfest community for about a decade now, and I can honestly say that I have little to no idea what tax bracket everyone is in nor do I care. However, I DO know that we have some very well-educated individuals and you would do well to remember that. What really matters is your intelligence because that's all that comes across in your posts. To earn your keep here, you have to show intelligence by supporting your arguments with links to facts.

Differing opinions is fine, but you have to support your arguments intelligently. Regurgitating things you hear on FOX News or Right Wing talk shows isn't always smart. It takes a lot of work to be truly informed and get an unbiased opinion in today's news media.

I would also suggest you go buy a US Government textbook (used if you can't afford it), and then answer Sam's question.

uhh... our far right are pretty fucked, but we don't have anyone accusing abortion doctors of giving out fake abortions.

Sorry, it wasn't specifically at Australia. I don't think of you guys as better or worse, just a "different kind of fucked up". When I think "worse", I'm thinking more like Iran.
