Go to the source...the House rules on the 2010 budget proposal....and point out the lack of transparency that includes several substitute Republican proposals...that are more restrictive than any previous rules.

So you are still going to ignore the facts about how business is actually being done by Pelosi and the Dems, not what they say they are going to do.

I don't really care what the Republickins are doing or not doing. They are not in charge.

The facts are in the House rules....including a Republican substitute proposal...equal time for debate on amendments..etc.

Republicans are bitching about a limit on amendments, which is hardly anything new....that has been the case with all recent House rules or the minority could stall the budget proposal for ever if they so desired.

In fact, there were more amendments allowed in the Budget committees this year than previous years.

That was fun... and maybe you learned something about the budget process...or you might if you take the time to read source information rather than editorials only

It was fun.... watching you try to cover for Pelosi's shenanigans as she and all the other apologist try to claim otherwise.

My deal still holds.

I wont cite any editorials, blogs or other questionable sources as undisputed factual information if you dont.

I have no problem sticking to primary source information when the discussion calls for facts and not opinions.

Let me know if you wanna play by those rules...but it will limit your bullshit

I just refuse to see the world through your Obama colored glasses and call bullshit on your partisan pandering. It must bother you when people don't agree with your world views.

So I guess that means "No Deal"

Thats cool.

I will still try to cite acts of Congress, reports from non-partisan sources like the GAO or CBO or other source materials as often as I can ( I admit to falling back on biased sources on a few occasions)...

And you will cite your editorials and blogs like Malkin that support your pre-conceived opinions and imply or infer some degree of credibility.

Whatever dude. Your "facts" are nothing more than smoke in mirrors as you try to deflect what is really happening on the ground. You need to take off your partisan glasses and see what is going on around you. But that is cool. Have fun in your world.

I propose a button for the Cellar....to automatically lock a person out of a discussion if 3 (5, 10?) other members press the button!

Yep, there it is.
