Besides, she said something that sounded like "I sort of, maybe, think I couldn't support it now, at least in the way it's worded at this point in time, maybe sort of..." It was the lamest rejection I've seen.

Add to that, she supported it on air, and in speeches some 45 other times.

Hey I like the guys "Turd Way" symbol above, which is an insult to "Third Way," an organization of corportists that has molded the Democratic Party into this horrible thing, that is just like Republicans. They support a slightly higher, but not living wage, while supporting free-trading away good manufacturing jobs Americans once called their Dream, war without end and aggressive, invasive foreign policies, and corporate giveaways, and lower taxes on the rich. But hey, we kept all the gay, abortion, gun stuff y'all. That should make you lib-ruuuls happy, while we economically rape you.

And the point goes further over your head. jeff47 Dec 2015 #108

So, why should she and we by agreeing with her LOVE taking away the Democrats' ability to filibuster cascadiance Dec 2015 #171

TPA was "the filibuster" cloture vote. yallerdawg Dec 2015 #174
