Radix commented on the blog post House Oversight Democrats Told Birth Control Access Hearing “Not About Reproductive Rights”
Wasn’t that nice of Issa, not taking women away from their baking and household duties, to discuss, let’s face it, some thing which has very little to do with them, their reproductive choices.

Radix commented on the blog post Obama: We Offered Cuts to “Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security”
Well, some of the Republicans have done as you suggest, that’s apparent. The question is, is it enough?

Radix commented on the blog post Obama: We Offered Cuts to “Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security”
The problem, really, is what happens if we default? It appears Republicans might be quite happy to see this happen. So are the cuts being proposed, which could be reversed if Democrats ever win control of both houses again, more or less painful than a default?

Radix commented on the blog post Senate Votes to Repeal Ethanol Subsidies
That’s the same issue with corn, an intermediary step to convert to sugar.

Radix commented on the blog post Senate Votes to Repeal Ethanol Subsidies
Actually, what should happen is ethanol from sugar, much cheaper to produce, should be where they head.

Perry touts his economic achievements because the press wont challenge him.

Radix commented on the blog post FDL Poll: Should Anthony Weiner Resign?
I can see your point, regarding the Dem Leadership. Which begs the question, would the Dem leadership care, if their constituency spent zero time on this issue? It’s already clear New Yorkers could care less, so why are they continuing to press the issue? My guess, it has more to do with the Republican noise machine than anything else. If I’m right about their motivation, then what we say doesn’t matter. Since what we say, feel, believe, regarding this issue, has no impact, why not spend out time more productively?

Ah come on Jane, I can’t believe you’re actually wasting time on this.

As they should, you can’t run deficits and surpluses at the same time.

Radix commented on the blog post Obama’s 2012 Branding Problems the Result of His Policy Problems
Lost his “branding” or had to finally show his cards? You can say anything you like on the campaign trail, being in office is another matter.

Didn’t the President, in his speech, propose a “trigger” of some sort?

You should have also noted Paul’s multiple positions on Libya as well.

Radix commented on the blog post Will the Media Ever Realize that the GOP’s 2012 Candidates are Trolls?
No I’m afraid your dream will never be realized. These programs need to fill air time. It’s easier for them to cover this non-sense than do actual fact based reporting.

Radix commented on the blog post Mubarak Announces He Will Not Seek Re-Election
Well clearly, judging from comments here, the total collapse of a government is good for the people. What do you suppose would happen if Hosni and his senior leaders fled the country right now?

Radix commented on the blog post Silly Agreement on Senate Rules Finalized
On the first day of the new congress, rules can be changed with a simple majority. However, after the first day, it requires 67 votes to make changes to the rules.

Radix commented on the blog post Senate Rules Reform Will Be Tweaked, Some Democrats Nervous About Committing to Changes
It’s still going to take 60 votes to invoke cloture. So how does what’s being proposed, in the way of filibuster reform, make it easier for the repeals you suggested?

Agreed, no one told/ordered the Lenders to forgo due diligence. The lenders chose this course, in order to generate larger short term profits.

How is murder and voter fraud similar? The means of accomplishing each are quite different.

Radix commented on the blog post Wisconsin GOP Wants to Make it Much Harder for Young, Urban, and Poor to Vote
You aren’t trying to imply the Frank Walton person committed voter fraud and got caught are you? The fact he was caught would seem to imply Wisconsin already has an effective voter fraud prevention program, no?
