1. The only basis the turtle needs in that he is a Black Man in a White House

And that has been getting under his shell for almost 8 years.

2. Good for Susan!

Now if she will just carry through, be a vote for confirmation and encourage some of the semi-sane GOPers (if any are left) to join her.

3. And she's not even up for re-election

Good job Senator

7. That is why she can say it

people will forget it in a year

15. more like a

week

16. True. nt

4. Can you believe this?

On Obama's Inauguration Day, they started obstructing him (I guess because he is black), and they want to keep it going til the next Inauguration Day.
Bullshit… Are we sure this is even legal?

[NewJeffCT]

9. while I agree they've been obstructing him

do you think it would have been so different if Clinton had won the nomination and the presidency in 2008? Would they have suddenly been agreeable because it was her and not Obama? Somehow, I think we'd have been having the same conversation, and we'd be saying, "Republicans just hate Hillary because she's a woman."

Granted, they can hate both women and black men (and black women), but I think Republicans would have been almost the same to anybody with a (D) after their name. We'd just see Tea Party signs with the B or the C word instead of the N word on them.

11. You do have a point there. However, in that case, how is Bernie ever going to restructure

the entire economy, health care system, and cost of college without taking back both the house and senate?

5. Mitch looks like he's having a hemorrhoid removed in that picture.

Or he could also be wearing an adult diaper and taking a shit.

14. And Mitch is what I have named my hemorrhoids.

6. Turtle Face

Is a Jack wagon full of bullshit.

Hope his Karma catches up with him soon. He deserves a taste of his own medicine.

[ffr]

8. Is this so R's can sound like there's reason within the party

just someone can repeat it? I hate these stunts.

10. EarlG, did you plant a bug in Mitch McConnell's office?

[d_legendary1]

12. Wow! A Republican who read the constitution!

Color me shocked!

[47of74]

13. I heard Chuckles on the radio the other day...

....attempting to explain his decision. I got the distinct impression that he was reading from a prepared statement that someone - such as one of his staffers or someone from McConnell's office - shoved in front of him and told him to read. At this point I'm starting to wonder if he's still doing things on his own or is just doing what other people in the GOP are telling him to do.

Iowa really needs to get a hard, pipe hitting Democrat to run against this guy so we can get one Democrat from Iowa back in the Senate and so that Grassley can retire.
