GOP hacks like the loathsome Mitch McConnell and Weepy John Boehner seem to think the GOP needs to show it can govern by which they mean push various pieces of crappy legislation through their respective chambers before voters will trust them with the keys to the White House. Meanwhile, the public keep screaming: STOP OBAMA!
The new Republican-led Congress is drawing harsh reviews from the public including most Republicans. Just 23% of Americans say congressional Republicans are keeping the promises they made during last falls campaign, while 65% say they are not. Nearly four-in-ten (37%) say the new Congress has accomplished less than they expected, while 4% say it has accomplished more than expected. About half (53%) say its accomplishments are in line with what they expected.
On both measures, the publics views are far more negative than they were of the Democratic-led Congress in March 2007, after the Democrats regained control of both chambers following several years of Republican control. Views are also much more negative than they were in April 1995, shortly after the GOP had gained control of the House and Senate for the first time in four decades.
The new national survey by the Pew Research Center, conducted May 12-18 among 2,002 adults, finds that just 22% approve of the job performance of Republican congressional leaders, little changed since the summer of 2011. Ratings for Democratic congressional leaders are somewhat better (33% approve).
Ha ha ha ha ha! Suckers! The Permanent Bipartisan Fusion Party doesnt care. And certainly not the wing led by the twin dullards, McConnell and Boehner, men of limited intelligence and zero imagination. But then, thats what happens when politics becomes a profession: it becomes all about process.
Snot-nosed McConnell is a closet commie.
And yet, we keep sending Mammoth Cave McConnell, Boo-Hoo Boehner, and their minions back, election after election. Point the finger of blame, you point three back at yourself. The state of the nation is our fault.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
They want the same things as obola does. Why would they try to fight him? The R’s are nothing more than a 2nd side of the same liberal coin.
Glad to see I'm not the only one saying this!
I tried to tell everybody that we would be better off with the Democrat. It would have sent a message that there is a limit to conservative tolerance of Establishment rinoism.
The GOP helping Obama is the same as the GOP riding a large python. First there will be the bite; then the squeeze until death.
RE: And yet, we keep sending Mammoth Cave McConnell, Boo-Hoo Boehner, and their minions back
Hey, Kentucky and Ohio did.
They are not going to stop him, because they are him.
Government is government.
There is not some faction within government that is somehow opposed to government.
It is a given that nothing Obama wants or does will be of benefit to this nation. Oppose everything!
That's not why. It's some sort of sleezy backroom deal that either helped them get elected or is promising even more unearned wealth. They know all too well that the majority of voters don't want Obama's agenda yet they push with all they have to get it.
It has nothing to do with the people.
If voting made any difference they wouldn't let us do it."
Mark Twain -
Hopefully every FReeper has called their Senator...I just called Rubio’s office..got a nice response.
Now, they can't wait to make deals with him!
They’ve funded every single thing they campaigned against.
That should tell everyone everything they need to know about the rino party.
We are a stupid nation, we are our own worst enemies.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
