    or, perhaps you don't understand the difference between the terms "cloture" and "filibuster."

    I can safely say I don't know the difference between the two.

    Nope. You can't bait me anymore.

    Somebody else keep going if you want. Nice job Sam and mark BTW, while I was at dinner, though it obviously made no difference (it never does).

    As for me, I'm tired of this bozo clown until sometime hence when he inevitably suckers me again into his web of dumbassery in some other thread.

    I think posts like this that directly provide proof that basso is only here to spread falsehoods should be allowed to receive rep no matter how soon it's been since I've repped the user.

    Bachmann has released a note from her doctor which includes the medications she takes to control her migraines. She takes sumatriptan and odansetron, and only takes them when a migraine occurs.

    I think this is a big step in the right direction for her, but...

    Her doctors said there were triggers for her headaches of which she was aware. I think most would assume this means stress and that will not play well for someone gunning for the most stressful job in the world. If stress is not the trigger, she should say what is so that voters could be assured triggers could be avoided while in office.

    I also don't know what those drugs are and don't have time to research them yet, so I'm not sure if they are psychoactive in nature. If not, that will help her. If so, unfair as it is (and it is very), that will hurt her.

    I loathe Bachman's politics as much as the next person, but really...who gives a rats ass? This guy had migraines, and he seemed to get by just fine.

    If a war broke out or we were attacked or some other truly urgent concern arose (which it does regularly in the presidency) I don't think it would make much of a difference that Kareem wasn't available.

    If you can stand your ground against Bruce Lee, you can certainly stand the rigors of the presidency.

    Yes.

    Obama has plenty of positions and policies to argue against. Please don't water down those arguments by pretending he's on the level of Bachman or Palin.

    That was great. Cain is really more of an idiot than he gets credit for.
