(ensure citizenship) What a poison pill that would have been. I will choose a path that's clear. I will choose freewill.

Post #330,579 by beepster 7/31/10 9:43:46 PM Reply	no, it appears you did I'm nowhere near blaming democrats for how republicans vote. But they shouldn't be absolved for this bill failing, either. It was their fault. I will choose a path that's clear. I will choose freewill.
Post #330,584 by Mycroft_Holmes_Iv 7/31/10 10:21:06 PM Reply	Really? Frankly I'm still surprised at your actions then. If it's the Republican fault, you could blast them for not voting for the bill..but that wasn't what you appeared to be doing. You appeared to be blasting Democrats for choosing a 'hard-line' option...and ignoring the Republican stance completely.
Post #330,588 by beepster 8/1/10 9:24:31 AM Reply	Really? Interesting, as I have pretty much not mentioned anything regarding the republican stance here. You seem to be willing to give Democratic leadership a pass..even though their actions are equally culpable...which is, in essence, the exact response they expected, which, is pretty much exactly why they did what they did. So which one of us is living more in the moment? I will choose a path that's clear. I will choose freewill.
