"If you have been watching those kinds of things for years you will have seen that the tactic of nonstop talking was first used by the Democrats."

I disagree with most everything you say, anyhow, but usually your opinions are stated in an intelligent manner. This is not one of them.

First of all, your assertion is impossible to prove. When did the first Democrat do this? What year? During what debate? Even if you can provide a link that shows a Democrat from, say, the 40s who engaged in nonstop talking during a discussion, you'd have to somehow prove that not a single Republican had -ever- done it before that moment. Good luck with that.

Second, this amounts to nothing more than a finger-pointing cry of, "He started it!" A mature adult does not continue the back-and-forth ranting of a child, they rise above it. By saying that the Republicans are doing it because the Democrats do it, you are openly admitting that Republicans can be just as immature and petty as Democrats.

And that would be the first thing you've ever said that I completely agree with. 8)
