I've a bit of sympathy for Reid as the Senate Majority Leader is fairly weak institutionally. Still, obstruction has been a problem for three years. If they are genuinely interested in reform, I'd have loved some action by now. Nevertheless, I think reform is forthcoming.
Which is why they adopted an extended process. With an institution as large as the military, an accelerated process would have been hasty.
Does the Republican party just have a collective memory problem?
Really Scott? You don't remember? Well, good thing we have a video...
And I'm sure you're standing up on behalf of the hard-working tax payers... as long as those taxpayers don't work for the government in any way shape or form. And soon you might only stand up for them as long as they're not union thugs!

To be fair, most politicians do when it makes them look bad.

Without Indianapolis, Indiana is just Kansas. Boringggg. I've passed through i-65 and i-70 across Indiana dozens of times.

Rommey about to speak at Liberty University commencement, while a bi-plane does flyer ad with "GOP = HIGHER SCHOOL DEBT" written on it. Amazing.

Seriously. I hate Indiana with a passion. I have a few college friends from there, and my wife's from there, so I've had to pass through a few times and hate it. We went across to Fort Wayne for one friend's wedding and good lord there is nothing on that road. And Fort Wayne itself can eat a dick. Its roads are complete nonsense. When going down through Indiana when we went on our honeymoon, too, I saw some interesting places. When I say interesting I mean it looked like stuff out of Fallout 3. The other weird thing I observed is that everyone seems to have a brand new car, and there are car dealerships in every single little podunk town. No matter how shitty your house is, though: brand new car. Such a weird state... I've been assured by my friend that lives in Indianapolis that I'd love that city, though. We'll see.

That is pretty amazing, especially since student debt and state party leadership seem to have zero correlation.

Yep I passed through Ft Wayne too. If you're heading north to Chicago, at least you will pass through the giant windmill farm. Only redeeming part of Indiana.
But it's a great place if you don't want anyone bothering you and it has easy ballot access!
I was in Boston for four years (the Romneycare!) before moving here. Talk about a shitty place to live.

Indiana is terrible, full stop. Indianapolis is a terrible excuse for a big city. The state has no redeeming qualities and is the most boring state in the Union this side of Delaware.

Cowboys, national parks, ranchers and potatos are all more exciting than anything Indiana has to offer.

Romney changes tune, doesn't actually support adoption by gay parents

Montana has the greatest ski resort in the world, so I'm going to go with 'no'.
Now don't get me wrong, if you're suffering from a Tebow infestation and you need an aging but accomplished quarterback to deal with it, Indiana is a great, but for pretty much everything else, it's the place to not be.

This man is the literal personification of the .gif of the bread sticking to the cat spinning in circles.
You have good taste in ski resorts.I will take Snowbird, Telluride, or Whistler, thank you very much.
But have you been to Big Sky?
AlteredBeast
Fork 'em, Sparky!
I have not, and I have heard good things, but only times I have been through Montana were to get a state park or to get to Alberta.
Only thing I remember is a lot of nothing, slot machines in gas stations, and alkali puddles on the side of the road.

You should really check it out.
It's a huge resort, the biggest in the US, and it has no lines (I think it has a third of Vale's average attendance).
If you like big challenging mountains and you're okay with a very underwhelming night life, big sky is the place to be.
But I derailed the thread enough.
So back on topis(ish) -
Yes Mr. Paul, it can get quite gayer than that.
Maybe I should introduce you to some gay people.

One more addition onto the derail train:
Night life is wholly unimportant (Mormon)
I love not having lines (I like skiing at Deer Valley for that reason sometimes, absolutely NO lines EVER, even if most runs are groomed (ick!))
I used to ski Beaver Creek back in the day and remember how imposing Vale was. Funny that now there are so many other resorts the make it pale in comparison for skiing. Might have to check it out some day

Bush was bad, but at least he was upfront about being who he was.
Mittens is a true scumbag. He's bullied kids, abused animals, blatantly lied about Obama, flip-flops on every issue he can to pander to voters, tries to take credit for things he had NO part in at all, lies about his own record and when he's confronted about all of this just continues to lie and tell others they're full of crap.
Bush was an idiot and we didn't agree with him on much .. but at least at the end of the day he had the balls to stand up for what HE believed in, even if he was wrong. Romney is the personification of a stereotypical corrupt politician.

Indiana has corn, a waterpark, and can boast about being the birth place of Michael Jackson.

He's not anti-gay marriage, he's just pro-state rights.
Unsurprising to say the least.

Eznark, there's a difference between how "sarcasm" is received when it comes from a liberal comedian versus a tea party politician.
Isn't he one of top contenders for the VP slot? I guess he's going for the Palin angle to try and assure Romney that hell be able to get the conservatives to show up.
I think this deserves it's own thread.

You are thinking of Paul Ryan, not Rand Paul.

I'm horrible with remembering names. Still, it's awfully hypocritical for a supposed libertarian to make use of gay bashing as a political tool.
I thought I hlread some speculation in this thread that Ron Paul wasn't that aggressive in the debates because he wanted his son to get to be Romney vice president?
Jon Stewart has a half hour comedy show on Comedy Central. Rand Paul is a United States senator speaking at a political event.
He will pursue a restoration of our civil liberties.
By which I mean privatizing the agencies that infringe upon them. "My grandma being felt up by airport security? Well, as long as someone's making a profit I guess it's okay!"
Not to mention that Jon Stewart wouldn't be doing it to a crowd that thinks gay = bad.
Because he and I have many similar opinions?
Not a thing.
A joke is a joke.
That's gay bashing?
If the person telling the gay joke is a homophobe, how funny can it be?

Really? He's insinuating gay=bad, stupid, wrong
How is that not at least subtly insulting gays.
He was at the Iowa Faith & Freedom. He was speaking to a bunch of homophobes and bigots.
Obama's stance on marriage did, in fact, become gayer by including homosexuality in the concept.
I thought it was clever.
What's the joke?
The thing is that Stewart would be saying it ironically...
