Quote:How did that happen? The committee chairs are drawn from the majority party. That means every single committee was headed by.... Republicans. Each committee had a majority Republican vote. The only way that this might have happened would be if the Dems threatened filibuster each and every time, in which case the Repubs would have needed 60 votes in the Senate to break the filibuster. (There are no filibusters in the House.)
Not enough to over rule their votes, but nice try. Read the articles, rue. Most of these attempts to regulate never even made it out of committee! So spare me the head count, I'm just telling you how it really is.
Meanwhile, you have NEVER addressed the other other issues, which I've repeatedly tried to bring to your attention: Lehman. The SEC decision to allow higher leveraging. The inventory of bad loans outside of Fannie and Freddie. Depository institutions meddling with derivatives. The erosion of American buying power. The Federal deficit.
Really, Rap, you say you deal with "facts". But you only deal with facts selectively. If life were only as simple as the boxes you try to cram it into!

It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

Quote:Nice of him to try, too bad he didn't try equally hard at starting the bogus war- we could have saved a lot of American lives if he showed the same ineptitude on that one.

Clearly, there were more RINOs than true conservative Republicans in the House. And the White House, for that matter. There's no selectivity here, what so ever.
Bush tried, and the Dems blocked. Why we still fussin' about this ?

A concern of the GOP is that the people aren't informed enough to understand their policies, while a fear of the Dems is that the people WILL understand.

Committees run by --- who ? I'll give you a hint - the majority at the time.
Now --- who was that, again ?

There were enough Democrats to stall the process. Doesn't matter what the hell you say, because I'm right. That the GOP DID try to do something about Fannie and Freddie - is FACT
That the Dems DID stall the process - is FACT
You have no case ! There's a RECORD of these exact events happening. You can't say the GOP never introduced these bills, because they clearly DID INTRODUCE SAID BILLS.
End of discussion.

Quote:The issue is, Bush tried in a different way to get his war. The issue for me is why you can't see it. He "tried" against a REAL threat. He did everything that was within his power to push with to get a war against a non-threat.

If only he had done both the other way around, we'd all be better off.
Now, let's see how you can mangle/misunderstand/dismiss this.

Not enough majority to override the Dems.
It's clear you're not too smart, and I'm wasting my time.

"There were enough Democrats to stall the process."
And HOW did they do that, again ? When the repubican committees could have simply voted their majorities and moved it forward, and then the House and Senate could have taken up the vote and the repubican majorities could have passed the bills, and sent them to a repubican president to sign ? HOW did the effort stall out again ?
Where, oh where did the repubicans go wrong, Rap ?

Quote:More precisely, there were enough Democrats who could not be forced to vote differently to stall the process.
