Why is it that Democrats most politicians think of Senate seats as property that can be handed down or transferred to a relative or political crony?

Fixed for ya.

Well we are talking MA. here, so Dem would be correct. Why does anyone find this surprising? And the mouthpiece at the Times, laughable.

I think that's more a of Kennedy family type thing

On vacation one day and having withdrawal from the cameras. Hey let's re-nominate Bernanke so I can get my face on T.V. and show the American people that I am working on vacation. :lolhitting

Yeah I mentioned this when they did the after the markets closed news dump on Friday. They really didn't want this out there when the talk is about expensive this health care plan is going to be.

The top fundraiser for Hillary Clinton's 2008 Presidential Campaign has been indicted for orchestrating a $74 million fraud of Citigroup.

I think he also worked for John Kerry's campaign.

The Colorado State Democratic Party HQ was vandalized yesterday. Early Tuesday, Democratic Party chairwoman Pat Waak said the damage to her building in Denver's art district was a consequence of "an effort on the other side to stir up hate." Ooops! not so fast, turns out the culprit has an arrest record and a history of helping a Democratic political candidate, public records show. When confronted with that fact, Waak doubled-down on her hate by saying "What I've been saying is there is a lot of rhetoric out there from both sides of the spectrum," Waak said. "That's what's been disturbing to me. People are saying a lot of things not appropriate for civil discourse."

Town hall meetings aren't a Constitutional right.

Exactly.

That's why it's so absurd...

They can limit your access to a non-Constitutional-right event, such as a town hall.

 

They can't institute what amounts to a poll tax (according to some) to exercise your right to vote. Isn't that the objection to registering your guns? That you shouldn't need a license to exercise your right?

 

The comparison just doesn't work.

Actually, the main objection to registering guns is that it counters the very purpose of 2A, by allowing the government to know who has what guns.

 

But as for the poll tax argument, that's only valid if people cannot obtain a proper ID for free. as long as they can, its not a tax.

AFAIK, state ID's require some nominal fee.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_assembly

 

Freedom of assembly, sometimes used interchangeably with the freedom of association, is the individual right to come together with other individuals and collectively express, promote, pursue and defend common interests. The right to freedom of association is recognized as a human right, a political freedom and a civil liberty.

 

So you are going to have a government sanctioned town hall open to the public where people can voice their views, but check those ID's first?

 

I'm surprised you endorse this action by proxy, strangesox.

I'm just pointing out that its not completely analogous to voting rights, though I do get the irony and would support free state ID's and requiring said ID's to vote.

Let’s play a game it’s called imagine if Bush tried this: Bill would give president emergency control of Internet“The new version would allow the president to "declare a cybersecurity emergency" relating to "non-governmental" computer networks and do what's necessary to respond to the threat. Other sections of the proposal include a federal certification program for "cybersecurity professionals," and a requirement that certain computer systems and networks in the private sector be managed by people who have been awarded that license” http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-10320096-38.html

Obama is outsourcing sensitive data to India. He doesn't give a f*** about 'security'.
