No, Tioga, I just imagine how wonderful Assholistan must be. Glorious, I'm sure!
Please share. We're all envious, and wish we could defect to Assholistan. Please, please share!

If USA (God Bless) and California are crap, then Assholistan , even though the former commie leaders lost the Cold War, must be amazing. Please tell us, what's it like? Is it true Assholistani womyn have litters? That's impressive. Babies: little miracles. Even if they can't speak English.

You're good people Tioga. I hope more Assholistanis like you shake off their blues about losing the Cold War and come here to freedomland.

Sketch wrote: What legislation was passed during the periods when Democrats had 60 votes in the Senate? Specifically, what legislation was passed that lacked any Republican support?
Healthcare.
Short memory??
"What this shows is is that there were only two time periods during the 111th Congress when the Democrats had a 60 seat majority:
From July 7. 2009 (when Al Franken was officially seated as the Senator from Minnesota after the last of Norm Coleman’s challenges came to an end) to August 25, 2009 (when Ted Kennedy died, although Kennedy’s illness had kept him from voting for several weeks before that date at least); and
From September 25, 2009 (when Paul Kirk was appointed to replace Kennedy) to February 4, 2010 (when Scott Brown took office after defeating Martha Coakley);
For one day in September 2009, Republicans lacked 40 votes due to the resignation of Mel Martinez, who was replaced the next day by George LeMieux
So, to the extent there was a filibuster proof majority in the Senate it lasted during two brief periods which lasted for a total of just over five months when counted altogether (and Congress was in its traditional summer recess for most of the July-August 2009 time frame).
It’s important to keep this fact in mind when discussing what could have happened in the 111th Congress
I expect the chaffer to be dumbed down to really low levels of fact denial, but you Sketch?

Shist!
Do you have any idea how much you folks have read like a 6th grade shouting match for the last two days?
Review your fuking posts!
Lest I sound like a certain, well-known Yosemite-based curmudgeon: I do believe many of you are capable of a higher level of arguement.

//name the dates when there were 60 Democrats in the Senate in recent history, Sketch?
from when to when were there 60?
//
//Jan'75 - Jan'79
But I wouldn't consider that recent history.
//
correct answer, Sketch
you just proved yourself wrong when you stated the Dems had complete Senate control under Obama and could "only pass the ACA"
do you have any idea of how factually ignorant you really are?

Oh heavens no, Norton. I'm sure in a few minutes he will put your post in some kind of quote and think of a snarky little point about it.
In the meantime, he's still licking his butthurt about what rottingjohnny and I wrote.
