zyzzyg, the problem you’re having is that you are expecting intellectual integrity and it doesn’t exist in extreme partisan blogs such as this one.

I cannot entirely disagree with you, though sometimes my expectations are met.

And, I will say this blog has only deleted one of my posts, while another more left leaning blog has deleted many more of my posts.

Like it or not, in both blogs, it is what it is.

Thank you for noticing.

And, Sen McCain had done the same thing to then Sen Dayton during the Iraq war debate.

Moreover, what happened to the people who were complaining about Sen Sanders withdrawing his bill was a violation of the rules. If you are a stickler for rules, then you should have no problem with Sen Franken following the ten minute rule.

Yep, everyone has their own agenda, but is it too much to ask that everyone be consistent? Either you are for the rules, or not. If you take someone to task for not following the rules (Sen Sanders) then how could you take someone to task for actually following the rules (Sen Franken), especially knowing that what Sen Franken did had already happen earlier in the day.

How in HE!! did this clown get a chair position as a freshman senator? That’s what has me agape!

The same way Barack Obama sat in that chair position as a fresman senator.

Read my post President of the Senate to better understand.

What really bothers me is that from Jan 2007 – Jan 2009 there should have been a Republican (VP Dick Cheney) sitting in this chair, not a Demonrat.

But Cheney, by failing to perform his Constitutional duties as President of the Senate, let the Demonrats run the show.

As one banned from Hot Air (my daily must-read and overall favorite news blog, BTW)…I assert that vote fraud should be considered treasonous behavior…and it should be punished accordingly. Al Franken and many other Dumbocrats have been elected by means of this kind of fraud. Our Republic is completely meaningless is we continue to allow fraudulent elections!

Ditto, on all counts!

How the hell is the most junior senator the body the chair?

I heard Fred Grandy say this morning that the must junior senator gets stuck in the chair. The more senior senators have more important things to do. It’s a real crap job and Franken does it well.

IF YOU THINK THE LONG KNIVES ARE OUT FOR LIEBERMAN (I), WAIT TIL THEY GET THE NAGS AFTER NELSON OVER THE ABORTION ISSUE HANGUP.

Whatever happened to that rumor that Nelson was being threatened with the closing of that base in Nebr.? Glenn Beck had a story on it. I missed Glenn’s show last night. Did he mention it? Or was that all a false rumor?

Serving in his capacity as President of the Senate Floor, Senator Al Franken reminded us all yesterday how much it must really suck to be from Minnesota. I offer a brief disclaimer in saying that I don’t blame all Minnesotans or the state as a w…

“If you’re here to shrink away from the duties, there’s a door. Get out,” West said. “But if you’re here to stand up – to get your musket, to fix your bayonet, to charge into the ranks – you’re my brother and sister in this fight.”

This man has it right.
