Every news source and media outlet in the country "made the common mistake"?
Yes, that's why there's such a thing as "retractions".In reality, Every new source and media outlet in the country got it right....Dems had the 60 vote majority ......not 60 Senators, but 60 VOTERS that would vote along with them.
Pwning Number 1....
Sorry pinhead...
YOU'RE the one that used the term..majority voting numbers...
YOU'RE the one that used the term...60 vote margin
We're talking about VOTES you ass, not SENATORS....
even in your own posts...
You're not making sense....originally Damo and I were talking about a political party's representation...the original claim by you and Damo was that the Dems had the majority of 60 votes (as the chronology of the posts shows). But AS THE SENATE RECORD SHOWS, there were NEVER 60 Democratic senators in the time period discussed. So now, YOU try to dodge the facts by stating (yet again) that the 60 votes were there because of the two Independent voters, who were to be considered shoo-ins for the Dem vote. Also, You and Damo DID NOT take into account the death of Sen. Kennedy and his GOP replacement....which LOWERED the Dem Senatorial numbers, and would NOT have the 60 vote margin EVEN IF THE TWO INDEPENDENT SENATORS VOTED WITH THEM.
BUT HISTORY SHOWS US THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. Ergo, the claim that the Dems had the 60 vote margin was in error. So the only thing you "pwned" is a lack of understanding of the facts.
Pwning Number 2....
And no one was claiming Dems controlled the Judicial Branch of Gov.
Just the 2 branches that run the government on a day to day basis and make the laws and regulations and rules and control the money, etc....
So you throwing "judicial" in the game was bullshit
Again, as the chronology of the posts shows, when Damo or you were claiming that the Dems had carte blanche for 2 years, I merely pointed out that it was the GOP who had control of the Executive, Legislative and the Judicial (via appointments). The Dems DID NOT have control of the Senate, as the record shows. And as we've seen with the recent Citizens United decision, the GOP friendly members of the SCOTUS had NO problem with political judicial activism. I used this example to FURTHER solidify how absurd Damos and yours claims are....I don't need you to prompt a thought or to discuss a relative fact. Once again, the only thing you "pwned" seem to be your inability to grasp facts and to critically think.
Pwning number 3....
And then to come back with a new phrase..."registered as Democrats" in an attempt to correct your stupidity....you look like the fool we all know are.
As the chronology of the posts shows, I was ALWAYS discussing the FACT of the numbers of DEMOCRAT SENATORS in the time frame discussed. Now, any fool knows that Democrat Senators and "senators registered as Democrats" means the same thing.....but obviously your limited intelligence only allows you to process one description.
"Kennedy's death and his REPUBLICAN replacement in August"/
How irrelevant....
Is that another joke? Did someone claim the Dems had those 60 votes for years? For one year? For a certain number of months?
Your desperation is actually laughable...
Folks, this is why rational discussion with Bravo becomes almost impossible....he's just not too bright.
As the chronology of the post shows, I point out how the Dems were NOT of a 60 count BEFORE Kennedy died, and surely were not AFTER. This means that the PRESUMPTION of the 2 Independent senators giving the Dems a 60 vote count could NOT have happened from 2006-2009.
Only a complete and utter fool like Bravo would argue about the importance of the number of Dem senators being important, and then dismiss the FACT that one of those senators DIED and was replaced by a GOP senator. Again, the only thing Bravo has "pwned" is being a dishonest and irrational neocon parrot.
"now what" indeed? Go lick your wounds like the beaten pinhead you are. Its time you learn to respect you superiors....
