They are both trying to appeal to the far right. We all know what happens when you do and you run for president! Just ask McCain and Romney.

Exactly what were the Democrat state senators in Wisconsin doing when they fled the state and ran to IL like a bunch of whiny little eight years old when they couldn't get their way on a bill on collective bargaining in the WI state legislature?

If it wasn't for double standards leftists would have no standards.

If it was just the far right that doesn't want to see the attacks on the Constitution we would have had a bill voted on by now.

Even if we do get something it will be a watered down nothing.

According to Sen. Reid, he cannot even get 40 votes in the Senate for gun control.

Just curious how these rocket scientists threaten a filibuster when they don't have enough votes, Reid indicated the same, maybe you know the answer, possibly they want to make sure they remain the minority in the senate?

Some believe it's wrong to even consider having a vote on unconstitutional actions.

Now you're going to confuse him by explaining that some people actually have convictions. Did you forget that you were addressing a liberal?

You're not supposed to mention things like that. Liberals hate facts.
