    I understand your point, but our government was not setup for the Congress to be "partners" with the President.

    Right, the fact that American citizens were still not allowed to vote after the 15th amendment is revisionist bull crap. Lol. :grin:

    Are you referring to the Voter ID law? If you are, why do you find it to be so discriminatory? We use our driver's license or other form of ID almost every day.

    Because of who it affects in disproportionate numbers and Republicans are on record as implementing numerous election laws as way to intentionally lower the turnout of black voters.

    I'm referring to the Voting Rights Act but it's no coincidence that the states passing some of the most strict voter ID laws are the same ones that fell under DOJ required supervision until the Supreme Court gave them a free pass. You really have no idea what you're talking about. And it's discriminatory because citizens have a Constitutional right to vote. It's odd how conservatives trumpet the Constitution and the 2nd amendment but stomp all over the amendments they don't like.

    Bulls**t, it's not oversimplified- I've been doing this careers thing for 15 years and women are absolutely discriminated against in terms of pay at all levels.

    Except in one field- the federal government- where the jobs ads posted on USA Jobs list the salary and it stays that way regardless of the candidate's gender.

    how amazing that a representative no one had ever hear of, threatening a reporter that no one has ever heard of, totally upstaged His Supreme Divine Divaship's big speech.

    Because the data say that those laws are discriminatory.

    Nice anecdote. Now provide sweeping evidence from valid sources to prove your point. If you can't, lay off the liberal talking points.

    Was she a doctor?

    Religious reasoning is the whole point of the problem in the first place! I don't give a damn what Mother Teresa thought about abortion, or gay rights, or evolution or anything else. Keep your religion out of my doctor's office.

    This is precisely how Republicans came up with the need for voter ID laws. Sweeping evidence from valid sources.

    Or not.

    Just when I think there is no way Obama can make a bigger joke of his Presidency than it already is, he goes and delivers that drivel last night. He is the biggest embarrassment in this countries history.

    I find it funny you have to make fun of my religious beliefs to hide the truth in my post.

    Nook's right, you should probably just stay in church and let other people think about reality and running the country.
