Bacchus? The god of wine and revelry? The figure for whom the Mardi Gras Krewe is named? I'd rather be on Bacchus' side than yours, ye mewling gods of WHINE!

That said, did you just claim Max Baucus decided to retire because of his vote for Obamacare?

THAT'S UTTER BULLSHIT. You gotta link to that malarkey! And pull your head out of your lying ass.

He's retiring because there is no way he would be reelected in Montana. He was one of the main authors of Obamacare. And the law is unpopular in Montana, where the voters easily approved a ballot initiative in November that rejected the law’s individual mandate

He knows when the getting is good.

Exactly, and how many others may find that the choice is between voting to repeal Obamacare (even if symbolically) or retiring?

Baucus joins colleagues

Tim Johnson (D) of South Dakota
Tom Harkin (D) of Iowa
Jay Rockefeller (D) of West Virginia
Carl Levin (D) of Michigan
Frank Lautenberg (D) of New Jersey

in exiting the 2014 race....So far

Again, please provide links citing Obamacare as the reason for Max Baucus' decision to retire.

I believe it was for other reason.

As was Tim Johnson in SD.

Quit making shit up and provide some proof.

Max is just tired fucking with rightwingers ..

Served in the Senate since December 15, 1978, he is Montana's longest-serving U.S. senator, and the third longest-serving of current U.S. senators

Interesting choice of things to group together.

Hey, Perfesser MopBoy, what's the definition of insanity again?

Please share links for the "other reasons" then.
Perhaps they are leaving for other reasons, who really knows? The fact remains that several fairly big wheels have already announced they are out. And there may be some on the R side too. I can only see this as a good thing, fresh blood in Congress is always a good thing.
