Asshouse is here parroting with a mouth full of underpants!!!

You pathetic shitstains don't have a candidate worth half a dead cat so all you can do is complain about an ineffectual congress? BIG TURDS, Chickenfucker. There hasn't been an effective congress in your lifetime.

The Koch Brothers are gonna revoke you membership in the 'We Love Mitt So Much It Hurts Club" if you can't parrot better than that. Where is your love of the magic underwear and especially that whole Mark of Cain thing? You gotta step up your whoring game if you wanna be a real Republican.

Perhaps you can learn to pull 'facts' out of your ass like your butt brother KBM?

Whose responsibility is it to bring a budget to the floor?

#2 - In the Senate I would presume ... ummm ... Harry Reid?

#3

{bzzzz}

Sorry, retake civics.

#4,

But but but but... these retards were the ones that demanded that (an edited version of) the US Constitution was read in Congress. Of course that was just a transparently pathetic publicity stunt for their teabagger puppets (the last bone they tossed to THOSE losers).

If there is something you can count on from our conservatives, it is a complete lack of understanding about nearly everything.

The Senate and House Budget Committees, with the Senate Committee controlled by the Dems and House Committee controlled by the Repubs.

The Senate Committee, chaired by Kent Conrad, has completely failed to even present a budget resolution to the Senate to vote on since 2009, and that failure falls directly on the Chair, who doesn't need even one vote from the Republicans on the Committee since the majority has an additional vote.

The House Committee, on the other hand, chaired by Paul Ryan (R), has produced budget resolutions consistently since 2007. The House Committee also doesn't need bipartisan agreement, since the majority has six additional votes.

The Senate, frankly, has no excuse other than political gamesmanship for not producing a budget for 3 years.

That's funny, I never thought that you considered yourself to be a conservative.

If you don't think that Conrad isn't taking orders from Reid to stall budget resolutions in Committee, then you are as clueless as Axehole.

"If you don't think that Conrad isn't taking orders from Reid to stall budget resolutions in Committee, then you are as clueless as Axehole."

If you didn't understand the prior statement and retort, reread until you do.

Dforth-

Nice deflection, anyone reading my prior responses would understand how desperate your #9 looks.

Keep trying, however, your contined failure is almost endearing.

"anyone reading my prior responses"

Yeah...suddenly it isn't the Constitution any more, it's the backroom deals the guy was referring to....

"your contined failure is almost endearing."

Fat talk from someone who had to deflect from fact to conjecture.

While you are as clueless as Axehole as to how things actually work, let's focus on the fact that Duncan (for whatever mysterious reason) has not gotten a budget resolution out of the Senate Budget Committee, which he chairs, for over three years.

If, as you clearly believe, Reid had nothing to do with it, then why hasn't a simple budget resolution made it out of committee in the Senate for this long?

Yeah...suddenly it isn't the Constitution any more, it's the backroom deals the guy was referring to....

And it's not the Constitution, it is the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921 and the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 that dictate how the budget process works.

Maybe you should take your own advice.

"let's focus on the fact that Duncan (for whatever mysterious reason) has not gotten a budget resolution out of the Senate Budget Committee, which he chairs, for over three years."

Of course. Whatever we do, let's not focus on the fact CJJ was wrong, and let's pretend the issue was a different one.

"If, as you clearly believe, Reid had nothing to do with it..."

Who said that? Oh, I get it...you have nothing, so now it's 'put words in the other guy's mouth' time.

" it's not the Constitution, it is the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921 and the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 that dictate how the budget process works."

Not according to you: it's backroom deals and delays, remember?

Whatever we do, let's not focus on the fact CJJ was wrong, and let's pretend the issue was a different one.

You are the only one focusing on that (which is a deflection from the article, which is the issue), and won't answer my question, which is par for the course.

Getting back to the article, do you have an answer for why "Duncan (for whatever mysterious reason) has not gotten a budget resolution out of the Senate Budget Committee, which he chairs, for over three years?"

Not according to you: it's backroom deals and delays, remember?

Don't worry about me, what do you believe?

*waiting while Dforth frantically searches demunderground, dailykos and TPM for what he "believes"*

"You are the only one focusing on that'

Because that's all I addressed. Since then you've wanted to change the subject, even to the point of pretending I was commenting on other subjects.

Regarding the budget, I think it's shameful of the spineless Dems, and it makes me wish even more Huntsman had stayed in the race and gotten some traction.

But that wasn't what I was commenting on, if you noticed.

Just to nitpick, Dan, the question was whose responsibility it was to "bring it to the floor," not draft it, in which case Capt was totally right and you were just being degrading.

That said, if the Dems don't want to draft or pass a budget, whatever. The republicans had budgets, but they sure as hell didn't stick to them (see: Bush deficits). The Dems started with budgets when they took over in 2007- which only brought on even more debt than the republicans. With stopgap measures, overruns, debt ceiling extensions, and the like, any budget is just a facade of responsibility, which we all know Congress has none of.

"The President's Budget for Fiscal Year 2012"

The issue is passing a budget, not presenting one Danni. Besides, isn't the one you reference the same that got voted down, 97-0 in the Senate?

Dems not doing what is required of them - typical. NOW, if the dems actually did what they were supposed to do --- YES at would be a BIG surprise!!!!

Danni,

he does not even submit them to congress.

"It's been more than 1,000 days since the Senate has passed a budget"

That's true leadership.

Obama: budget? what the fuck is a budget? I thought we just take the money and give it to the banks and such so they don't have to print anymore money!!!
