Since the only actual incompetent one is Greene we have to vote for him by default.

Well, except for voting no when he should have voted yes on a couple of occasions.

Maybe you should bother to learn something about Senate procedure before you go waving your ignorance in front of everybody like that.
Yeah - but you gotta admit that seems to be a pretty dumb procedural rule.

no doubt.  That the Senate parlimentarian position requires like years of study to do the job is absolutely ridiculous.

What, that the only people allowed to re-introduce a bill are those that voted against it the first time? I can see the logic behind it.

Any system will be confusing. I dont think procedure is the problem.

I nevr said that procedure is "the problem" - just that IMO this procedural rule is kinda dumb.

Why can't they allow anyone to re-introduce a bill?

Pop quiz!

Who's the most entertainingly incompetent Senate candidate:

a) Sharron "I don't know what a Hispanic looks like" Angle
b) Christine "I am not a witch!" O'Donnell
c) Alvin "Who, me?" Greene
d) Joe "Arrest anyone who asks me questions, boys!" Miller
e) Rand "All hail Aqua Buddha" Paul
All are simple-minded idiots who, if elected, can easily be bought and manipulated.  That's why the Chamber of Commerce and big business are pouring buckets of money into their campaigns.  They're trying to get more pawns elected.

Rand Paul is simple? How are we judging simple here.

Seems that anyone who isnt a card carrying liberal in your mind is stupid!

You called Rand Paul simple minded.

Rand Paul seems very inteligent to me. Why would you lump him in as stupid?

You'd get some crackpot Senator constantly re-introducing their pet bill even though it had no chance of getting through.

Plus, by requiring a 'no' vote to bring it back, you in theory ensure that something has changed to make the bill more likely to pass (i.e. a no must have flipped to yes.)

So now I can only go with the exact words you wrote. Sorry reading between the lines is a specialty of mine.

The truth shall set you free!

Your specialty is distorting the words of others.
