Let me help you. You are in law enforcement. Let’s say a defense attorney argues against the inclusion of evidence in a murder trial and loses the motion. 4 years later, he is now a prosecutor and is leading the prosecution of a similar murder. Is he a hypocrite for arguing in favor of inclusion of evidence and using the precedent set 4 years prior for his prosecution? No, those are now the rules of the game so he will abide by them.
uh huh. it's been real fun watching you guys try to justify this to yourselves so you don't feel bad. you can just shut up about it and do it. that's more worthy of respect than the pathetic need to feel okay about it.
Good point. I guess maybe I have more of an issue of how they are approaching this. They are acting like they never felt this way when it was clear in 16 they did which makes them look like as big of phonies as the Rep do right now. Thanks for the example. I'll shut up now.
If I was a republican you would have a point. Since I have an open mind and vote who best represents my view points, I don't have a dog in the fight. Both sides look ridiculous right now.
No, it doesn't make them look as big of phonies. A precedent was supposedly established. It's not hard to understand unless you automatically take the side of Republicans. It's very simple to understand.
Gonna be a lot of people saying they aren't/weren't Republicans.
Go back through all my post since I've been on this board and that should clear things up. I voted for Obama twice.
Fair enough (you voted for him more than I did). I just thought I saw you walking like a duck was all.
So, this is no different than that group of Senators and Congressmen who rammed through Obamacare on a 100% partisan vote and look at what a POS that has turned out to be with zero input from the opposition. Also, it was the Democrats that used the nuclear option and changed the civility of the Senate. Actions have consequences.
Lol. So unpopular was the ACA that Republicans have since never come close to coming up with anything to replace it other than "we're gonna protect people with preexisting conditions" (taking credit for an idea they never helped achieve) and some world salad about talking to pharma companies and asking nicely.
No kidding. Just say “F you Dems, you can’t do shit about it” and be on your way. Stop with the acting on principle garbage.
The argument is nonsensical but it sure is working on many. I feel sorry for their kids.
Why don’t you understand this?
Dems wanted Garland vetted and voted on.
McConnell says no, it’s too close to the election.
Okay, that’s the rule.
Republicans want Trump’s nominee vetted and voted on.
Dems says, it’s too close to the election, that’s the rule.
McConnell says oh, the rules have changed.
Now, tell me where is the consistency.
It was debated. It was voted upon. It was adopted as law. The Dems have ZERO chance for any input in this one.......a lifetime appointment, too. No chance of change or no chance to change it. There is a difference here Big Del. Don’t be a bigger dick than usual. You and yours will get yours sometime down the line. Just shut up and understand.
This President has done more to divide than all Presidents combined in my life......and he has the dumbest base...swell, except for the those that supported George Wallace.
There isn't. That is my point. Both parties have felt one way and now feel the other way.
Liberals are arrogantly assuming that Joe Biden is going to win so he needs to pick the candidate. This is crazy
if lib dems want to pick they need to start running good candidates in the prez and senate, instead of hills and beto and biden
They've trained them that Democrats have no legitimate basis to govern.
The ACA was proposed and passed and signed into law by a President who had decisively won election as President, campaigned explicitly on the issue and the final bill received 60 votes in the Senate. The Democrats spent months lobbying and appealing to Republicans in an effort to give the bill a bi-partisan patina.
Democrats only used the nuclear option at the point that McConnell and Republicans had essentially shutdown the confirmation process for federal judges.
