What happened to all of the doom and gloom economic threads?

Again you conveniently forget about the 161 documented Republican amendments made to the ACA.

If Republicans didn't have time to read the bill then how did they know what needed to be amended?

Lit's "Airborne Ranger" also seems to have forgotten that the so-called "Cornhusker Kickback" was stripped out of the final bill, but then he's never been one to let pesky facts get in the way of Teh Narrative™

Dingy: We Are “Entering A Banana Republican Mindset”…




Did he intentionally say banana republican or is he just an idiot?

Via NRO:


Harry Reid shot down any notion at passing a short-term, one-week continuing resolution, telling reporters on Monday that the federal government cannot operate like a banana republic.

“If we can’t pass this, we’re only truly entering a banana republican mindset,” Reid said at a press conference shortly after the Senate tabled the House’s CR, which postponed the Affordable Care Act for a year. The Senate sent back a “clean CR” that stripped that stripped the House language.

I thought Pelosi said it had to be passed before people knew what was in it.

Were the amendments before or after it passed?

The amendments were before it was passed.

Pelosi said that in reference to finding out what was going to be in the Senate Affordable Care Act bill when it came back to the House. It was getting Amended by both parties and Pelosi was asked about passing it when it came back to the house and she said it had to be passed [in the Senate] before she could know what was in it. You can look it up.

The reason you think she said something else is because conservatives lied their asses off and counted on you not checking facts.

He tabled it, no debate whatsoever.

Good for him. Don't negotiate with terrorists. Straight up-or-down vote on a clean CR....what are you scared of?

DNC Broke, Owes Creditors $18.5 Million…




The RNC on the other hand has $12.5 million in cash on hand.

Via CNN Money:


There’s another budget crisis in Washington, and it’s unfolding inside the Democratic party. The Democratic National Committee remains so deeply in the hole from spending in the last election that it is struggling to pay its own vendors.

It is a highly unusual state of affairs for a national party — especially one that can deploy the President as its fundraiser-in-chief – and it speaks to the quiet but serious organizational problems the party has yet to address since the last election, obscured in part by the much messier spectacle of GOP infighting.

The Democrats’ numbers speak for themselves: Through August, 10 months after helping President Obama secure a second term, the DNC owed its various creditors a total of $18.1 million, compared to the $12.5 million cash cushion the Republican National Committee is holding.

Several executives at firms that contract to provide services to the party – speaking anonymously to avoid antagonizing what remains an important if troubled client — describe an organization playing for time as they raise alarms about past-due bills falling further behind. And senior strategists close to the DNC say they worry the organization appears to have no road map back to solvency. “They really thought they could get this money raised by the summer,” one said, “but the fact is, from talking to people over there, they have no real plan for how to solve this.”

MSNBC ANCHOR TRIES TO SIGN UP FOR OBAMACARE, GIVES UP AFTER 35 MINUTES

According to you and other wingnuts, MSNBC is stupid, so you just defeated your own argument.

 

[islandman]

"gave up after 35 minutes"....

That's pathetic.

But I bet he'll stand on a line overnight for the new iPhone.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Thirty five minutes on opening day for something "mandatory"? Fuck a new Iphone, has this guy ever gone to a summer blockbuster? Ever eaten at a restuarant not named McDonalds?

One of those many conundrums that the beautiful conservative minds here on Lit spend not one moment attempting to understand.
