Do you understand what that means?
Quote:The Speaker also determines which legislation is assigned to each committee and which legislation reaches the House floor for a vote.
The reason that 60 votes were taken to repeal Obamacare was because that tit-turd Boehner allowed it. They did precious little else.
Without a congressional mandate Sanders wouldn't be doing shit except getting older by the minute.
You don't start in the middle. You may start far left and work your way toward the middle, but you don't start in the middle. Hillary is starting in the middle. You act as if because she's in the middle that's the best compromise and will be the most realistic. That's not what a liberal does. A liberal fights for their positions regardless. That's what a cowardly democrat does. One who doesn't believe that anyone wanting to make real change can, so they settle for moderate's who they sort-of agree with. How cowardly is that, that you feel so bullied by republicans that you are forced to be at their mercy and abandon ideas of change that you agree with.
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.
