Reid and don't ask don't tell

[punked]

Is there any way to find out how Harry Reid voted for DADT in 1993? It would be absolutely hilarious if he voted for it!

Lets find out how he votes in 2010. Remember Clinton tired to get rid of Reagan's Defense Directive 1332.14 and congress said no way with Conservative Dems and REPUBLICANS backing. Don't ask don't tell is the compromise because they refuse to get rid of Reagan's Defense Directive 1332.14. Research is always fun. I agree the problem with congress has always been to many Conservative Democrats and Republicans. This is just another one of those times.

But how did he vote on the actual Don't ask don't tell Bill?

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994.

I agree all those were dumb bills pushed through by dumb people. Good things Dems fix their mistakes how many hater Republicans do you think block this bill and wont even let it come up for a vote this time around?

At the time he was. He appears to have grown as a person, unlike the Republicans who will block the bill. I already searched that site, I don't think he voted on the bill.

He is right Health care costs a lot when it is paid for by a public that does not have access to it. If they went with universal health care paid for by Value added tax those people would have to pay for that health care they got. So you have changed you tune I see Shady.

Anchor babies, anchor babies, anchor babies.

Anchor babies, anchor babies, anchor babies.

I didn't hear him say anchor baby. Although I did her him talking about how it costs tax payers to provide health care to that baby. If the US went universal with a vat tax that problem would be solved. You support that right Shady?

BTW who was the last president to offer amnesty? Quick quiz.

ALSO Reid is getting rid of Don't Ask Don't Tell and the Republicans plan to use hate to block it.

[Shady]

Perhaps you need to watch the clip again.

"if you break our laws, by entering this country without permission, and give birth to a child, we reward that child with U.S. citizenship."

Stop being obtuse.

Was he talking about Reagan there? I could of swore he was talking about Reagan. You know the same Reagan that let 3 million Illegals become citizens with out a blink of an eye. He must have been talking about who Shady apperently thinks is the worst president ever. Reagan with is apporval rating less then Obamas at this time in his presidency, with his Unemployment more, and who rewarded illegals. It must be Reagan.

No, that clip of him is from 1993, so he's not talking about Reagan. But I'm glad you're not disputing that he's talking about anchor babies.

I don't think he is talking about anchor babies at all I think he is talking about the Socialist Reagan and his rewarding those who broke the law.

[punked]

HAHAHAHAHA Apparently Reid figures they are going to lose Senators this November he better give the voters a reason. He is moving away from the washy middle he has stuck with all this time. In October the DREAM act is going to also get a vote. Welcome the progressive movement Reid, see it doesn't suck so much over here. Awesome!!!!

He's specifically talking about anchor babies. Stop acting stupid.

I know what the DREAM ACT Reid is going to have a vote on talks about. You might want to look it up it will give you plenty to be angry about.

Nobody really cares about the dream act. It's the economy stupid.

Nobody really cares about the dream act. It's the economy stupid.

But it really isn't. If it was about the economy the Republicans would not propose a plan which the CBO says will add 4 Trillion in NEW DEBT over the next 10 years. It isn't about the economy at all.

[Shady]

Yeah, that's why Democrats have planned adding a trillion dollars to the debt each year, for the next 10 years.

That's not true, because you're ignoring their other spending plans, like bringing spending back to 2008 levels. Swing and a miss punked.

Let me quote to you from the article Shady:

Republicans and tea party candidates are both running campaigns based around concern for the deficit. But both, to my knowledge, support the single-largest increase in the deficit that anyone of either party has proposed in memory

The Numbers are in the article if you have a problem with them. Again what Republicans don't seem to tell you is TAX CUTS COST MONEY! You want defense? You don't get it with tax cuts, you want education you don't get it with tax cuts.

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-klein/2010/09/putting_the_39_trillion_extens.html

The best part is when asked about the tax cuts McConnell said "Don't worry we have a spending freeze that will save 300 billion". Ok well how does that pay for your 4 Trillion? Oh it doesn't.

Again Republican's plan will cost MORE then Democrats. It is a fact. Sorry Shads.

Again, you're simply refusing to acknowledge their proposals to bring spending levels to what they were in 2008. Not to mention that the Democrats are also in favour of extending most of Bush's tax cuts, which amount to a 3 trillion dollar price tag. But they want to do that in addition to even more spending. It's completely insane.
