I hope Harry Reid looses his election.

[Mad Dawg]

Silly headline. Their job is to represent us. They’re job now is to lay down a record of well placed objections and obstructions so that when the Dim’s plans blow up in their faces our guys can be clear about what they and we stand for and can point to a record of standing for it.

[pnh102]

I’d rather have no representation and an impotent Congress than have representation with a Congress doing things I don’t want.

[swatbuznik]

No, they do need to be there. Even if they’re losing on every bill they stand against, just get their voices out there.

I just posted this on another thread but have to say it again...
This is a travesty. The hag, the IRS pick who didn’t pay taxes, the socialist woman and her global warming crap...this is absolutely sickening. And that is just the beginning. Gene Robinson, Al Franken, that anti-Israeli advisor, Frank and Dodd and Rangel all running roughshod! I am sickened. And there is nothing we can do about it because the democrats have complete and total control now to take corruption to an all new level.
The republicans who are left make me sick. They are wimps.
Frankly, most of us here have ZERO representation anymore.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Pelosi did change the rules to block “Republicans” from being able to amend bills, make changes or negotiate terms.

Given the fact that they will throw the doors wide open at the borders and allow the 30 plus million illegals already here, a free pass, the Democrats will rule again for decades.

There is no doubt that those Illegals are Socialists and Democrats by nature. Plus that, they will pour across our borders for all that free health care and free housing that Obama will give them. And they won't pay any significant taxes because they will get a special rate, or they will scam the system and send most of it back to the country they came from before declaring it as income.

Harry Reid is a boil on the butt of the Legislative branch of government. He needs to be lanced...

Idiocy like this, along with SanFran Nan’s push to seal the LibTard lock on the House, may ultimately lead to the next revolution.

I am shocked and dismayed that more people aren’t up in arms about this hijacking of the legislature.

[joe fonebone]

now this is a plan of action I can agree with.

[Carl from Marietta]

I thought this was the case even when they controlled both houses of congress. Congressional republicans haven’t done their jobs for a long, long time.

[Between the Lines]

I look forward to watching one of my Senators, Jim DeMint, giving the Dems a very hard time. OTOH Graham will capitulate with everything they do.

[trebb]

Despicable though both Reid's and Pelosi's actions are, they are entitled to try them. As is President-elect Barack Obama to dig us out of a projected $1.2 trillion deficit by spending an additional trillion dollars more. (What's next, a skydiver escaping gravity by taking off his parachute?)

I love this guy's sense of humor.

That said, why should the Republicans show up now, after being absent for so long? They dug their own hole and dragged us in with them. Now the Dims want to throw the dirt on top and the "Republicans are lending them the shovels.

[lady lawyer]

Hmmm. Could the Republicans keep the Congress from having a quorum by not showing up?

[dforest]

Its a damn shame they didn’t show up when they were in charge.
