Republicans are against Motherhood.

[Andy]

Bingo! That's the real story. The national debt is still $9 teradollars and growing, millions of illegals are in the country with more coming every day, we're still in Iraq, the infrastructure of the country still needs repair, neocons still haven't been outed as the one world government liberals that they are, and the Congress is passing resolutions honoring mothers. What's wrong with this picture?

On the other hand, as long as they are fighting over motherhood and apple pie, they aren't doing further damage to the country, and they are giving us great material to make fun of partisan politics. It isn't all bad.

With all due respect.... you bought this hook line and sinker. You blindly believed the repugs voted against mothers-day and went on a rant in post #1 and #3 of this thread. That is the real story... a political hack job of a false story by liberals came out, and you bought it without thinking or reasoning, just as they knew you would. Next time, check your information instead of reciting garbage.

This is why they keep pulling these stunts... because they know some (people) will swallow it and start running off like robots repeating it everywhere. Until you stop buying their junk, they will never need to tackle any real issues. Just pump out more garbage for drones to repeat.

Right, right, I bought it hook line and sinker, including the apple pie and the American way that I posted in the original, sure, that's it.

Take off the partisan blinders, and look at the irony of partisan politics. If you want to root for something, go to a ball game.

What a joke! I am the one who bothered to find out the truth, and you claim I have blinders on? You'd still be wallowing in self-righteous partisan ignorance if not for me educating you!

 

[Pandora]

I agree with No Obamanation (for your annoyance I will shorten your name to Obamanation ) - this is not the governments job and a waste of time, money and valuable common sense.

Can we shorten it to just No Obama ?????

Or how about no bo (b.o short for barack obama) not because he stinks, even though he does stink at least politically.

lol

The truth is that both parties were playing partisan politics, and the Republicans wound up voting against the Mother's Day resolution. Inadvertantly, of course. It's a joke, Andy. Too bad you just didn't get it.

 

[SW85]

See this is why when Liberal/Socialists, start reciting something they read somewhere, I assume it's wrong. Why is it I can look it up and determine for my self the truth, yet no one else can? I know I am not brighter than all of you. So it must be that some partisan people are just too lazy to find out the truth, when it is something you already believe.

Go down to the "All Roll Call Votes" section. Here you'll note the first vote at 2:19 PM was the 'final vote' in which it passed 412-0. However this is just a Aye - Nay call, where no one is on record for their vote.

From your link, this is where Rep. Todd Tiahrt said:
"Mr. Speaker, I ask for a recorded vote because I’m sure every member wants their mother to know that they have supported the goals of Mother’s Day."

This is called a "Motion to Reconsider", where the bill is brought back up, for the purpose, as Tiahrt said, to have a recorded vote for the bill.

Here is where Think Progress and the Washington Post, and obviously every liberal/socialist who can not think for themselves, is totally and completely wrong...

The second vote under "All Roll Call Votes" section is not a vote for or against the bill, it's a vote to "Table the Motion to Reconsider", in other words, to kill motion for a recorded vote. That's why the 'final vote' is still the first one at 2:19 PM.

Here's what really happened. Democrats didn't want to have to actually record their support of Mothers day, and tabled the motion to have a recorded vote. There never was a second vote on the Mothers day resolution. The Democrats never allowed it.

And you wonder why some consider the Democrat party a bunch of mindless robots repeating what they heard? You wonder why some claim the media is completely one sided and bias? It required less than 5 minutes of my time to determine the given story was completely crap.

You know, I was just about to ask whether they voted against the resolution or the motion to have a recorded vote on the resolution.

If the latter were the case, you'd think those Republicans who voted against the motion being considered would be lauded for being pro-Mother's Day.

I guess I don't really though, except insofar as contemporary American politics has degenerated so utterly that we're now down to using minor squabbles over parliamentary procedures regarding non-binding resolutions expressing support for a made-up holiday as a political blunt object with which to bludgeon one another.

Ok, I just spelled this out, and you still did not get it. This is why people in government get away with this garbage. Read what I said again. There was only ONE SINGLE VOTE on the resolution. ONE! And the Republicans voted FOR it.

Now read carefully, you might catch it this time. The second vote was on whether to TABLE the motion to HAVE a recorded vote on the Mothers day resolution. The Democrats voted AGAINST having a recorded vote. The Republicans vote FOR having a recorded vote.

You were lied to. You didn't read and learn. You were duped into a false belief that Republicans voted against something they didn't. The fact you fell for it, is exactly why they continue to do these type of deceptions.

And I've spelled it out, too. What you're trying to dispute is irrelevant. Of course the Repbulicans aren't going to vote against motherhood. That they appeared to do so is the joke.

If a joke has to be explained, then it isn't funny. Sorry, Andy. I thought you were smarter than that.

The joke was, that you thought they appeared to do so when it was more than obvious they did not. In truth I'm too smart to find that level of stupidity funny. Jokes make people laugh, not think you are an idiot. Try redefining "IS" and 'pull a Clinton' jokes if you want to be funny.

Democrats, in contrast, stand foursquare in favor of motherhood, apple pie, and the American way.

LOL.

You should qualify your remarks. How about.....Democrats stand in favor of motherhood, especially those who are single mothers because of lousy morality, (this does not include women who are divorced) who will depend on the government to provide for and raise their children.

Apple Pie? O.K. God, if you don't like apple pie, does this mean you are not "American"?
Oops, I'm screwed.

The American Way? Explain your concept of this please.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of what Republicans have done to this country during this last "regime", but it just isn't so that Repubs-bad, Dems -good. How about stockholders - bad, hard working everyday people- good? LOL

Saying that a party stands "foursquare for motherhood, apple pie, and the American way" is the same as saying that they will stand for whatever is popular, but not take a stand on the hard issues.

Of course nothing like Bill Clinton. Against Welfare reform... ooop... not popular I'll sign it and 'fix it' later. We're going to deal with Saddam... oop not popular, ok forget it. Even family values, those suck... oop they are popular, ok I'm for them.

This list of issues Captain Underpants swayed in the breeze over could fill this forum. How about the party of pots, stop calling kettles black, eh?

I don't subscribe to either the party of pots nor the one of kettles, and both are black on this issue.

Did you think I was a partisan Democrat because I've not supported our glorous pres?

I've concluded that you're pretty much a partisan Republican. Am I wrong?

Yeah actually you are. I don't care for most of the repugs either. But you still came on here blabbering about how horrible the repugs were because they voted against mother's day, when in fact, they didn't. You were too blind in your partisanship to investigate something spoon fed you, to find out the truth. As most political hacks are. What you did, was EXACTLY the reason that congress gets away with these frivolous actions. Clearly you haven't figured it out either, which means that next fruity false anti-repug story that comes out, you'll buy it too.

Yeah, I thought so. You're one of the rah, rah, my team (party) is always right partisan Repugs. If you check, you'll see I'm an equal opportunity political party basher.

And I didn't come here blabbering about how horrible the repugs are for voting against Mother's Day. Go back and reread, contemplate, and see if you can come up with the truth this time around.
