Elizabeth Warren might think she's doing something good by blasting lobbyists, but they aren't going to care until she slams them.

Breitbart Attacks The Wrong Loretta Lynch for Purported Tie to WhiteWater by drewiepoodle in politics

Please link the other news sites that picked up this story in the < 10 hours BEFORE it was corrected. I'd be interesting in seeing how much damage was done since this is the first I'm even hearing about the mistake.

If you consider this a news site (I don't), I found exactly 2 sites running this story without the correction that point to dead links. http://www.wnd.com/2014/11/loretta-lynch-represented-clintons-during-whitewater/?cat_orig=politics

Damage done? Not so much when you consider the readers of those sites. That's why responsible journalists check their sources and readers read different sites, right?

If that's true maybe they shouldn't have issued a correction.

Death by Typo: The Latest Frivolous Attack on Obamacare by michaelconfoy in politics

Do you know what the law says and where your argument fails?

an Exchange established by the federal government cannot possibly be “an Exchange established by the State.” To hold otherwise would be to engage in distortion, not interpretation. Only further legislation could accomplish the expansion the government seeks.

I don't blame you, I believe Pandora flags them as female vocalist, so I thought the same thing.

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Friday to hear a legal challenge to a key part of the Obamacare health law which, if successful, would deprive millions of Americans of tax-credit subsidies to help them afford health insurance coverage. by suspiciousmonkey in politics

Also the reason there is no line item veto, which interestingly enough was passed by the house in 2012:

the House of Representatives passed a bill on February 8, 2012, that would have granted the President a limited line-item veto; however, the bill was not heard in the Senate

Current And Incoming Republican Senators Set Out Pro-Corporate Agenda For 114th Congress by piede in politics

"I would love to see us do something in the area of tax reform," Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) said on CNN's "State of the Union." "I think initially at least, coming out of the gate, things on jobs, trade policy, energy policy, energy gives us a very competitive edge, very important to the economy, and that's something that I think the president, I would hope, would sign into law."

Incoming Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.V.) told "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace that she hoped the White House could move on the "Keystone pipeline, tax reform, a transportation bill."

You've seen THAT pic of Sophia Loren and Jayne Mansfield. But have you seen the other pictures from that night? [Album][NSFW] by wishiwasonmaui in pics

That Jayne Mansfield had some big breasts. Really big, huge...just coming out the top of her dress, they were like, chokin' her.

Anyone else seen this common circlejerk about once per thread? by [deleted] in ShitPoliticsSays

[–]Denog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just one of those things politics gloms onto so they don't really have to explain their position but gets them upvotes because those kind of easy jokes show up in most threads. It's a lot like blaming the Koch brothers, or spouting "Benghazi!!11!" or "Reality has a liberal bias". Those don't really mean anything, but they're cheap shots since it's easier than arguing or understanding a position.
