Reilly, the fed oversight bill would likely get vetoed.

Craig, we should count our blessings. I don't think either of us would be happy to see the republicans actually get something done.

I can't do this by myself.... that isn't democracy.... that's not how democracy works
Obama is talking about the inability of any president to change the law on his own in your short clips mashed together above.
And he's still not changing the law!

dirtybag, if Obama does nothing else in the next two years vetoing that nonsense would be
good enough for me.

I read the Economist, I'm not very impressed with it, leans way right.
But what have they been talking about lately?
The Failure of Austerity to provide any economical benefits to a country.
You cannot cut your way to prosperity, fact.
Raising the minimum wage on the other hand has been proven to stimulate the economy, create jobs and improve the general welfare of the people.
It's a simple formula:
give workers at the bottom end more money, which they spend, which creates demand, which creates jobs etc.
The minimum wage has been raised many times by Republican Presidents in the past and sold as a economic stimulus plan.
All the past Republican Presidents had no problem stimulating the economy with huge cash stimulus plans, cash giveaways, and raising the minimum wage.
Why is it so demonized now?
Mostly because the propaganda has raised to a fever pitch that it will kill jobs, raise prices etc,
But the fact is, the Repubs don't want the economy to improve because that would let Obama have a win,
and since they vowed to destroy Obama, they will rather let the economy suffer.
The Congress could approve one of the Democratic Job Bills that would put millions to work Now! They won't, they call it a job killer.
Every problem can be solved by Congress, they refuse to solve any real problems.
That's what you get when you vote for Republicans, they lied to you with their promises of this and that. Instead you get digression into a third world country by their actions
Scorched Earth Politics
Let the people die, we have taken a vow to destroy our President, that's all that matters, right?

Hillary wins in 2016 and the Dems take back the Senate, Repubs have too much to defend
Doesn't much matter as no meaningful legislation to benefit the middle class will be passed with the House in control of the Republicans.
The Dems won't get the House until at least 2020 at the earliest, gerrymandering works...
And that should be the end of Republican national influence, their base is rapidly aging
and the young vote overwhelmingly Democrat

The Obama derangement syndrome will seamlessly transform into Hillary derangement syndrome
And unfortunately we will have to wade through the piles of lies fabricated to make it OK for them to destroy her
They will take the same vow, work against our Country's President just because they have zero actual Governing policies that the people want.
It's all about division with a constant barrage of lies.
Divide the country, the folks on one side basing all their knowledge on lies
with the other side fighting a losing battle by presenting facts.
How can you fight against lies that have embedded as Truth?
You can't,
because they don't want to hear the truth, they will just deny any facts
facing the facts as truth would destroy their precious delusional belief system,

For the first several years of his presidency, Obama seemed a bit naive about the intentions of republicans. He thought he could work with them. But from the get go, Republicans have devoted their efforts to crushing him.
One advantage to Hillary is that she has already been through the right wing wringer during her husband's presidency and during her tenure as Secretary of State. I think she would enter the White House prepared to govern, and deal with republicans, accordingly.

After the 2006 election, Dems were making the same predictions.
"The Republican Party is in its death throws."
"Stick a fork in 'em."
Eight years later, the Republicans made unprecedented gains in Congress.
The GOP isn't going anywhere. Especially, with the Citizens United ruling intact.

Sketch, you are painfully ignorant, not to mention ChrisMac not wanting you back here.
Because of your ignorance you confuse mid term elections with the every four year
Presidential general elections.
For example, last November's mid term elections was the lowest turnout in 70 years
thus the result was largely meaningless, your optimism for anti-Democrat future results
is childishly misplaced.
You are way over your head on this thread, stick to blabbering your nonsense elsewhere.

Why won't you ever answer a direct question?
While you're at it, tell us why you post here at all?
You can tell a true climber from a troll so easily, they never answer direct questions.
It's about avoidance and diversion.

I do.
For amusement.
You say you want civil discourse, yet you you do your own part to drag it down.
Civil discourse is a two way street.

I must of missed them Ed
If you could entertain my misgivings,
please go ahead and answer them for me now
What ad homs?
asking a question that you won't answer is an Ad hom?
Ask me any question?
Please... there isn't a question in the universe that I won't answer
Please ask...
That's the difference
and for my buddy WB
I complained about a total of 4 trolls to admin
LEB, SkipT, Sketch and one unmentionable that still trolls here on ST,
and it's certainly not you that I ever wanted banned
I love the crew of the wackos that provide such great entertainment value
if you only knew

These guys a hypocrites to the almighty max.
The thread title is an insult and troll from the start.
Such tools making their stupid whiny bitch claims that we don't troll and our posts are civil.
You start the thread off by insulting and trolling.
Then cry like girls to admins.
So laughable and so stupid .....

You asked two questions. I answered them.
I ignored your questions about pay because they seemed like trollery.
