I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

12/15.  I remember a few of those quotes from when they happened.

8/15  :blush:

That is some hilarious stuff right there. At least we never elected our crazy man Italy.

Kasich is announcing his Vice Presidential candidacy right now.  One of the owners of my local brewery helped introduce him (he helped push through a bill in 2012 allowing small breweries to serve their beer on premises).

That your assertion that these blue dogs actually care about deficit spending will be supported.

Well 24 of the 52 Dogs voted against the Affordable Care Act. Of those 24 only 8 were even in office in 2001 so it is impossible for my assertion to be supported. I guess you showed me.

I have to admit that is a pretty fiendishly clever way of winning an argument: create an arbitrary standard of proof that is impossible to meet.


Were there more then 10 Democrats who voted on the ACA and the Bush tax cuts in 2001?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

only 34 voted Nay on the Affordable Care Act so probably not. Though maybe there might have just barely cleared 10 if I included non-Blue Dogs.

Well then were are these "moderate" southern Democrats so concerned with the budget?

Again is your benchmark for being concerned about the budget how one voted on the Affordable Care Act?

About half the Blue Dogs came from non-Southern States btw. I know you think they are all KKK members from the 1930s.

What was so great about Tsongas?

Economically right wing and socially left wing. My kind of dude. He had all the Reagan Democrats enthralled.

Sounds like a monster.
