Re: Senator Lindsay Graham to drop immigration reform
 
Dude, what is wrong with you? How can you post an article from Friday with such a title for the topic? It is the same thing Graham has been saying for a while and you are trying to pass it off as something that has been said today after the Democrats locked in the HCR vote.

There is a responsibility that comes with posting in this section of the forum, it is not to discuss ideas and opinions or to misinform.


There should be a rule for this forum that if an article is old then there should be a note for it in the title, like an asterisk or something. Otherwise people will go "Oh God, Obama just killed CIR with his HCR stunt" and what not.

It is just the title of the article. If people started clicking on the source and reading the entire article before posting then they would know what its about and the date of the article. Some people don't even read the article and then go on to ask questions and make assumptions that could easily be answered/corrected by reading the entire article.

Graham was surely bluffing. He is the "daddy" of CIR.

O really? I hope you have links and articles to back up what you saying.:roll:

Uhhh, the Senate does have a large Democratic majority by historical standards. Do you really need articles to back that up? Here

In any case, even if Graham goes all teabagger on us and shit (I don't trust self-hating, closeted gays so totally possible), there are plenty of Republicans who are safe yes votes on CIR, they're just not willing to co-sponsor.

Yes, but anyone took the time to look through the News section topics titles they would see that this has been posted already in like at least 5 different topics. When you post an article in this section, if you can't be sure about the source or even the message you have to at least be sure that it is still news.

There are many articles with the same information. Many articles mention previous events and information gathered.

I agree with you here.

When I replied I was mainly directing my comments at this:
