After 250 years haven’t we thought up enough laws in Congress to meddle in the lives of American citizens.
What a blessing to have a “least productive” year.
It’s way past time for the Republicans to sh*t or get off the pot in this matter. A good start would be to defund the EPA, first thing tomorrow morning.
Amen, JS
Defund the EPA, the Energy Department, The Obamacare, impeach Eric Holder and Obama, and censure Nancy Pelosi for a start.
As the House’s top Republican, Boehner has been accused of bringing to the floor a litany of bills that have no chance of passing the Democrat-controlled Senate.
The leftwing media is reporting on this as if its a bad thing.
The less Congress does the better. Republicans weren’t elected to advance Obama & Reid’s agenda.
And why, exactly, is this a bad thing?
Unbelievably the EPA was created by EO and congress does not have the legislative authority to rid the country of this beast.....defund it....yes....kill it no...
Considering the House pubbies couldn't find the courage to defund the worst, most oppressive, least popular social justice fantasy ever imposed on a once free people, there is absolutely zero chance any sort of meaningful reform will emerge from the denizens of Washington, DC.
Thanks Cincinatus’ Wife.
Congress should be in session twice a year for 45 days each session and live the rest of the year in their district or state...
They need to live like the rest of us peons....
<><> Rep. Raul Grijalva (Dimwit-Ariz) on Republican inititives: “Everything is still in.”
<><> Ex- Obama advisor, David Plouffe on ABC'S This Week: "The $600 billion healthcare-gov web site (that was supposed to be up and functioning Oct, then Dec 1), “will work really well by 2017."
<><> Nancy Pelosi (Dimwit-Calif) egging-on Congress to pass Obamacare "so we could see what’s in it.”
<><> Sen Mary Landrieu (Dimwit-LA) in the well of the Senate: "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan." Landrieu's O/care vote is popularly called the "Louisiana Purchase." Her state got $4.3 billion when she voted "aye."
<><> Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Dimwit-Calif): “I listened to the president and I believed him when he said,' if you liked your plan, you can keep your plan.' I didn’t realize there were all these codicils attached to it."
<><> Ex-Pres Bill CLinton eyeing 2016: “Even if it takes a change to the law, the president should honor the commitment the federal government made to those people and let them keep what they got.”
<><> Harry Reid (Dimwit-Nevada) "Under Obamacare, my insurance costs me about $4,500 more than before." But that's OK b/c the increase is "age-related.”
<><> Pres Barack Obama (Dimwit-WH): "We fumbled" the healthcare roll out." (Nominated for Understatement of The Century).
Democrats have given us a Liberal/Progressive Police State.
>>While House Republicans have pinned the blame for Congress’ anemic legislative output on Senate Democrats,<<
They don’t get it...the more anemic they are, the better off we are.
The wrong part about this is that it is not really about Obama. The unconstitutional powers taken by the POTUS over the last 100+ years is the problem.
This is why every Republican candidate for POTUS needs to be asked the question: “How much power should be surrendered by the office of the presidency, to rebalance the federal branches?”
I imagine the answers to this will be telling. Only the fourth answer is acceptable.
1) “Why, none at all! In fact the president needs even *more* power!”
2) “The current level of power is fine. I am not like all the other presidents. I can control that power and use it wisely!”
3) “Well, maybe some power, but *each* president must decide that on his own.”
or:
4) “I will work with congress to reduce the power of the office of the presidency to constitutional levels, as the first phase of significantly reducing the size and power of the entire federal government.”
“After 250 years haven’t we thought up enough laws in Congress to meddle in the lives of American citizens.”
I thought the same thing.
Amen. Congress was designed to be slow and ponderous. The worst injury the Democrats gave the nation is the delegation of legislative authority to the executive. Take it back, please.
Now we are half staffing American Flags for Terrorists.
Not 1/1,000 the damage you and your buds would do if you got your way, Waxman.
We fumbled"?? That must be the first time in Obamunism that he ever referred to his administration as we. It must have something to do with assessing blame/taking responsibility. Normally it's I, me, my ...
