So you think the Republicans are doing a great job?

have I seen a political party do a “great job” yet? The ‘94 Gingrich Republicans were supposed to enact the term limits that we all agree would have been great. They didn’t even try. There is no point of unilaterally disarming, although introducing effervescence as a concept might be beneficial over a decade or so. In the meantime, they’d get creamed every time out of the gate running virtual no names. It’s hard to get anybody to run on the Republican ticket for anything in many states.

Yes McConnell and the Republican MINORITY in congress have done a great job in stopping most of the Democrats' Marxist/Socialist economy destroying bills. Republicans even stopped Amnesty for illegals last year. Now McConnell is trying to lift the ban that Democrats put on a trillion barrels of oil in oil shale in the U.S. and the ban that Democrats put on drilling in the OCS.

It is those that don't understand the 60% majority requirement of the Senate to pass bills that like the liberal media put the blame on Republicans for not "doing anything".

It has been said people deserve the government you get. Enjoy the starvation , food riots, and chaos of that socialism will bring because you , Michael Savage, and your ilk and the Democrats have combined to destroy that which is the only thing stopping socialism, the Republican party and Republican Mitch McConnel in the Senate.

It is sad to see the greatest country and my way of life being destroyed by ignorance.

The Republican bill, the Gas Price Reduction Act needs to be passed by Congress. It in part will lift the Democrat bans on 118 billion barrels of oil in the outer Continental Shelf and it will also lift the ban on a trillion barrels of oil in oil shale in the Western United States which no one knows about. Democrats of course will try to stop this bill. Please call Republican Mitch McConnell to thank him for pushing this bill and please send these links to everyone.

Mitch McConnell:' Just before the July 4th holiday, 44 Republicans introduced the Gas Price Reduction Act, a series of proposals to increase American energy production' .

"The 'Find More' provisions(in the bill) include increased exploration on the Outer Continental Shelf, where states want it, and lifting the ban on western oil shale exploration.

"We should also lift the ban on oil shale development which the new Democrat Congress enacted last year. Our western states are sitting on a sea of oil three times as large as the oil reserves in Saudi Arabia. Yet, at the insistence of the Democrat majority, we aren't allowed to touch it. They've put a 100 percent ban on oil shale exploration. With gas prices at more than $4 a gallon, this prohibition makes no sense.

U.S. Oil Shale Resources Are Three Times Larger Than the Current Oil Reserves in Saudi Arabia( 1 trillion barrels of oil). YET CONGRESS RECENTLY VOTED TO MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO DEVELOP U.S. OIL SHALE RESOURCES

Shell had to go to dangerous Middle East Country of Jordan to develop a much smaller by orders of magnitude amount of oil shale but Shell can't touch the trillion barrels of oil in our oil shale in our own back yard in Colorado,proof:

Well, after we convince McConnell and the few other republicans with spines that they have no support, why don’t we all get together, hold hands, and throw ourselves out of that 18th floor window? That way, the people who currently run the congress and who might soon run the Administration can continue their record of stellar achievement with no opposition at all, at all?
