No just the ones like who constantly keep bashing Republicans are democrats just like you.

Where is your proof that I have ever done that? Either post it or STFU, troll.

YEA!!!!

It’s not worth responding to someone whose best argument is “You’re a democrat!”

Apparently, failure to scream loud enough in praise of the party is now an automatic excommunication. Democrat_media isn’t worth debating, until he (or she) grows up.

Meanwhile, we need to applaud the conservative actions taken in congress, like normal. Perhaps, in time, the GOP will figure out that conservatism works!

[TigersEye]

You’re right about that. It’s amazing that anyone would even try such juvenile argumentation.

Now eleiminate funding for the EPA and Energy Department!

...add to that Dept. of ED. (an State Function)
...and Dept. of H&HS. (an State Function)
...sharply cut back Dept. of AG. (an State Function)

80 hearings and briefings. What a waste of time. we would have been better served by 80 meetings where they just sat there and played with Lincoln Logs.

[Logic n' Reason]

Now....next on the list....the "National Endowment for the Arts"!

Quick now....like a bunny!!

Whack a mole.The fed can't stop oil development in ND because most of the land is private. Now F&W pushes the effort and wants to use offshore oil and gas revenue to fund this new program which will exclude land for resource development.

Of course, I’m not that interested in domestic drilling unless we keep the product for domestic consumption. The two aren’t the same thing.

Oil is a global commodity. Increasing the supply sufficiently lowers the price, even if some of it is sold overseas. And domestic oil drilling means more US citizens have jobs, unless "our" regime's policies lead to importing too many foreign workers at the same time.

"Republicans kill global warming climate change committee"

Next on the agenda is the "seasons change committee",

Then the "sunrise/sunset change committee",

And finally the "phases of the moon change committee".

Ditto , not drilling in the USA because the oil may be sold to other countries was a key Democrat argument to oppose drilling under Bush. It sounded good but it was a bogus argument,

Not only does drilling here create domestic jobs as DDDfD says, but it is the US exporting something. You know? exporting, to bring some dollars back here. Importing so much energy with such huge trade deficits is unstable, it devalues our dollar and further raises our prices (in dollars.)

[worst-case scenario]

Actually, that may be the plan of the Chinese, rather than our own government. They are #huge# consumers of energy now. Perhaps they are betting om=n calling in payment on their debts by taking leasing rights to extraction of all the energy resources on national lands.

They can’t actually take the land, but they can take everything of value from it.

Great idea. Not Tin-foil Hattie on your part.

[Theodore R.]

But will they be able to stand the media heat? They should defund Energy and Education departments for start and watch the American people squirm. The people actually believe those two departments are essential to their survival!
