" the house has done nothing"

The only thing the house can do is pass bills. Bills must be approved in the Senate, and be signed by the president. They've only controlled the Senate for 1 day, where there still need to be 60 votes to pass a bill that the Democrats don't like, as well as 67 to override a veto, the same number required to convict the president for impeachment.

They controlled the House, Senate AND White House from 2000-2006. We got the "Patriot" Act, Part D and the beginning of the "too big to fail"/bailout policy that was continued under Obama. No thanks. I'm tired of getting bent over by people that are supposed to be on my side. Screw the GOP. I'm done with them. Again, anyone willing to continue to vote for GOP candidates, as Patrick Henry so succinctly put it: May their chains rest lightly and may posterity forget they were our (spineless, traitorous) Countrymen.

If the house votes to not fund something it will not be funded. It has the power of the constitution.

We can do this all day and you’ll still support the republicans. It’s time to decide f your conservative or republican.
