Stop begging. You know only a drunk does not sound drunk to another drunk.

The only time I know I'm drunk is when I start accidently breaking shit in people's houses. That's when I know it's time to stop. :) Otherwise... I'm not drunk.

[quote=saden1;648204]If you've seen past Maxy speeches or his committee work you would conclude that a) he isn't drunk or b) he is always drunk. If you have the Interweb you have access to C-SPAN archive...do try to use it people...I beg of you.[/quote]

After watching a couple of YouTube videos of Max, I go with not drunk. I didn't realize what an utter buffoon this clown is. Maybe he should drink, at least that would be an excuse. The people of Montana must be proud...

So here's the question. Is it better to sound drunk all the time or get caught once giving a speech drunk? Talk about two evils.

[quote=dmek25;648162]i think what he is saying is instead of just ripping every bill to shreds, look at it, take the good parts( if there are any) and try to reach a middle ground. don't just bitch for the sake of bitching( which is what is going on right now)[/quote]

Well, not exactly what I was trying to say, but part of what I believe. A lot of arguing is for the sake of just that, to argue and oppose. Most of what these crooks are doing in DC should be criminal but there's not the right type of oversight and not everything is so cut and dry to prove intentions.

Many politicians care more about their party, corporate sponsors, favored lobbyists, etc than the greater population. Many voters care too much about the party that only cares about their vote and money and much less about their actual issues. It's a wonder anything ever gets passed through Congress.

Republicans said that Obama would be a pushover for the terrorists; he takes a few months to make a decision on Afghanistan and he's accused of neglecting them and causing further losses by not sending additional troops off of the bat. Then we he announces plans for a surge he's criticized again for that. This goes both ways with each party, but it's a glaring example at the time. I usually don't even mention that I'm personally conservative because I don't want to get grouped in with these neo-con wackjobs that've ruined the Republican Party.

[quote=FRPLG;648182]I did watch it and he did seem drunk to me. In fact I find it hard to argue that he doesn't SOUND drunk. Not that he was drunk but that he didn't sound it. I find it pretty weird that you don't think it at least sounded like he was drunk.[/quote]
Try watching more floor debates man, that's all that I can recommend to you.
