Iraq War Resolution: the most important vote in the past 3 decades? [View all] MannyGoldstein Jul 2014 OP

Yes, and my litmus test for voting Democratic candidates DerekG Jul 2014 #1

Is this the same Iraq War that Glenn Greenwald was in favor of? DanTex Jul 2014 #2

WTF does Greenwald have to do with this thread? Is he running for President? neverforget Jul 2014 #3

Just wondering if people are aware that the hero of the anti-Democratic faction of DU DanTex Jul 2014 #4

A person's voting record who is running for President is fair game neverforget Jul 2014 #11

It's relevant in both cases. DanTex Jul 2014 #12

Again, Greenwald has NOTHING to do with this thread. neverforget Jul 2014 #15

I disagree. It's relevant for the reason I stated above. DanTex Jul 2014 #19

So don't cast your vote for Greenwald neverforget Jul 2014 #20

Who said anything about casting a vote? DanTex Jul 2014 #23

In a different sub-thread, in response to another post about Hillary being the nominee. DanTex Jul 2014 #30

You made the comment in this thread; that's where I got it. neverforget Jul 2014 #32

Well in fairness, he is running around like a Foxnews anchor babbling about the anti-Democratic Rex Jul 2014 #49

Lol! Definitely done on purpose. neverforget Jul 2014 #50

Ad-hominem attack. Meh. DanTex Jul 2014 #62

It wasn't meant it be an attack on your character G_j Jul 2014 #64

In that case, I'm not sure why you need to call me obsessed. DanTex Jul 2014 #65

So what? G_j Jul 2014 #66

I don't think Kelsey Grammer is a prominent figure when it comes to current events. DanTex Jul 2014 #69

It was implied, though. Particularly in light of previous OPs by the same person. DanTex Jul 2014 #71

I don't want Hillary to be our nominee and I don't like Greenwald PAProgressive28 Jul 2014 #13

I'm undecided about who I want to be our nominee. DanTex Jul 2014 #17

I get your point and I think it's a valid question. cheapdate Jul 2014 #41

Perhaps some people think he'll be the Green Party candidate in 2016... n/t PoliticAverse Jul 2014 #55

Yes. What's your point? nt MannyGoldstein Jul 2014 #5

See #4 above. DanTex Jul 2014 #6

I've been quite clear on that subject. Greenwald has a price to pay. MannyGoldstein Jul 2014 #10

Cop-out. So you'll worship Greenwald but not vote for him. DanTex Jul 2014 #27

I worship Greenwald? MannyGoldstein Jul 2014 #35

In a manner of speaking, yes. So how about the rest of my post? DanTex Jul 2014 #36

I think Sen. Warren can and will speak for herself. MannyGoldstein Jul 2014 #38

That's a fair answer. After all, people do make mistakes, for any number of reasons. DanTex Jul 2014 #39

No, the Affordable Care Act was the most important vote of the past three decades Algernon Moncrieff Jul 2014 #7

Interesting point MannyGoldstein Jul 2014 #14

I'll answer in reverse order. Algernon Moncrieff Jul 2014 #56

OK, you find it disgusting. Algernon Moncrieff Jul 2014 #60

I wouldn't limit it to voting in Congress Cali_Democrat Jul 2014 #8

Why don't you put up a poll and see how other DUers feel? MannyGoldstein Jul 2014 #16

I post DU polls to get chuckles Cali_Democrat Jul 2014 #18

Oh, I think such a poll would get chuckles. nt MannyGoldstein Jul 2014 #21

I was responding to your 100 year claim. MannyGoldstein Jul 2014 #42

Ah, in that case BainsBane Jul 2014 #43

You might want to check out the numbers MannyGoldstein Jul 2014 #44

I'm not ranking ACA based on numbers covered today BainsBane Jul 2014 #45

Since Medicaid today covers about as many people as all the uninsureds in America MannyGoldstein Jul 2014 #46

But ACA expanded Medicaid BainsBane Jul 2014 #48

I think the best way is to look at the change in uninsured Americans after ACA kicked in MannyGoldstein Jul 2014 #53

How about people who have gone from meager coverage to full coverage? BainsBane Jul 2014 #57

That's a good point. MannyGoldstein Jul 2014 #73
