Labor Unions React to Obamacare

Cruz is making an ass of himself. It's just BS grandstanding for the right wingers back home and in the 2016 primary voting booth. This stunt will backfire on him in the long run.



There I was, just minding my own business and DanG came along and the sky darken and the rain fell. Good thing I had my boots on and a large Umbrella to protect me from all that crap.:P

Just as much as when Wendy Davis Filibustered . . . but you agreed with her stance - so she wasn't making an ass of herself, just Cruz, right?

You mean firing the parents from their jobs and/or cutting hours and wages to below a living standard so their kids can get a free flu shot is bad?

How dare you! Why do you hate kids?>:(

That is a valid comparison, and a valid point. Thanks.

Doesn't change my opinion :P, but I really appreciate the opportunity to question myself.

You are so very welcome.

If only 10% of the posters here (myself included) were as polite and open minded as you Wendy.:P

I don't believe I've commented on Wendy Davis. How do you know so much about my opinion of her stunt?

Especially when most who signed it didn't even read it.




Isn't that the case for almost every bill?

I didn't disagree with her stance. In fact, I supported her stance. I've never commented on her stunt in the Texas legislature. I don't live in Texas, and never would, so I frankly don't give a shit if she wastes the time of the Texas legislature. I do, however, live in America, and don't enjoy watching one doofus waste the time of the US Senate for no other reason that looking good to his right wing base. If it were a Democrat doing a stupid fauxlibuster over something I agreed with, I'd feel the same way.

How about you? Do you support Cruz's antics, but not Davis's?

I didn't think she was making an ass of her self, I thought she was exercising the protocol that the office she holds is entitled to by law.

I think it is the same for Cruz.

You use the tools available, right?

Isn't that the way Executive Orders are?

So then you'd disagree with Dan Patrick when he says that she never should have been allowed to do that?

That's one way of looking at it. I didn't say he was breaking the law. I just said he was making an ass of himself. There were many more productive ways he could have proceeded, especially considering his filibuster wasn't even a real filibuster.

You can simultaneously be acting within the legal system, and be an ass.

You had better take a real hard look at the actual letter quoted in this Rebublican dribble. Not that I'm taken a stand here but there are more misquotes and selected quotes that are out of context than usuall...

The author of this lie, and that is what this is...has taken many statements out of context and then carefully crafted his own words around the out of context quotes.

It is as if the Bible or Koran or whatever has been corrupted by the Devil. Take or better said find sentences, mix them up and then provide your own misleading explanations....


Apparently they are counting on the fact that many of you allude to that no one is going to check on what they say or read the whole thing...

I feel sorry for you sheep that resonate with the perpetuation of this stereotype and just read until you are satisfied what they have to say is the truth.

Kind of like tha many posers on DZ.Com that read reviews and other advice until some dum shit says what they want to hear and then accept the worst possible advice as real because that's what they want to hear.

Same thing here...

You all see something in the Worlds most right wing propaganda machine, Forbes, you all think your gonna be million airs by reading this shit? All you doing is funding the mechanism thats raiding your pockets, I bet they get a big laugh at how easily you can be "persuaded" by all of their misquotes....

Wake the fuck up...


going to the antithesis of Unions to hear what Unions have to say is just plain stupid.
But what do I know, "I only have one tandem jump."

Perhaps you could show us some of these allegations?
