I had a friend call me this Am, bitching and moaning.
He doesn’t vote.
so after I got done with him I told him. “This whole problem is because people like YOU don’t vote. You don’t vote, you don’t get to B***H. Now everyone else has to clean up the mess.”
“Dreier...told reporters yesterday that he is not a constitutional expert and that he had not spoken personally to any constitutional experts about the issue. “
So why didn’t he keep his dam* mouth shut!!!
Drier has been on a daily slide from conservative to socialist for the last 40 years!
Is the healthscare thing getting in the way of a cocktail party for Drier, or is it that he just doesn’t care? I’ve never heard a more defeatist, wussy attitude in my life!
If you really hate those Republicans more than anything, vote third party or Democrat.
If you are a clever closet troll, vote third party and encourage other to do likewise, then vote Democrat
If you oppose like the conservative movement, vote third party or Democrat
If you believe in conservatives and you’re sure you can win the lottery tomorrow, vote third party
If you think that third parties have done well throughout American history, vote third party
If Ross Perot, Bull Moose party, Know nothing party are examples of great movements in American history, vote third party.
If you want to promote the conservative moment, get involved in the Republican primaries
Then he has no business holding the job he's holding. If your job is "making sure that Congress follows legitimate rules of procedure", then you DAMN WELL BETTER be an expert in ALL the rules, including and most importantly the SENIOR RULES, namely the Constitution.
Take a good, long look at the GOP and tell me again that "conservatism" will be ruined without it. If the GOP is the only thing that can salvage whatever you view as "conservatism", it needs to be ruined. The GOP bears quite a bit of responsibility for the situation in which we find ourselves at this point in time and the patience of the people is wearing thin.
They must be.
They must assume that 40+ years of Great Society-Welfare-Divorce-Feminazism-Men Suck-USA Is Bad have taken the will of the real Americans to fight out of us.
I called the office and the cutie answering phones has said the article is incorrect, he’s been taken out of context, and they are not rolling over.
“I think people are over reacting. I believe David is correct in that it will be come law until the moment it goes to court...”
Agreed.
However, this comment is bothersome:
“(Drier said)...he is not a constitutional expert and that he had not spoken personally to any constitutional experts about the issue.”
These are the folks that constitute our first line of defense in our efforts to defend the Constitution. It cannot be unreasonable to expect them to take whatever political and legal action can be taken to avoid this socialist tsunami.
They arguably ignored the Constitution by sitting on their hands during the Jan 2009 crowning ceremony and now appear to continue to sit on their hands. Some of us are displeased.
If laws don’t need to be voted on ... why do we need congress at all???
They better think this through.
Good for you!
Where are you coming from? Cybercast News Service has as its parent organization the Media Resarch Center which is well known for accurate research and reporting.
The author of this piece also had researched the Constitutionality of the issue, more than Rep Dreier ever bothered to do.
Your statements are not at all consistent with the facts of the article and the background of the CNS.
I agree. The Republicans simply have no power available to them to stop the 'rats from doing this. Only after the deed is done is there an actual issue than can be taken to the courts -- the courts will not preemptively stop this.
What is he trying to do? Except to say he doesn’t know the Constitution?
Stupid Party rides again
1.That David Dreier is a limp wrist Rino. I remember when he was on ‘spouting’ about supporting the Normalization of Trade w/China in the 90’s. He is another slick haired rino.
2.Mitch McConnell said this is NOT Unconstitutional? What the hell is the MATTER WITH THESE PEOPLE?!
If he means he can't stop the Dems, that is one thing; he CAN fight it to the last ditch and beyond
I'll bet there are a few Dems who won't want to do this.
vaudine
What's he supposed to do? Shoot somebody? Immolate himself? Like he said, the 'rats make the rules.
Can someone disagree with the substance of what Drier is saying?? The Dems have the votes to control the Rules committee, so basically....they make the rules. In that sense, there’s nothing that Drier or the Republicans can do to stop it, except try to sway public opinion against the Dems. They can try to force a vote to stop the process, but again, they don’t have the votes to win that either.
Can someone say Drier is wrong?
