Guess President Clinton was very persuasive at his Press Conference on Friday.
First off, the Senate votes on treaties per the Constitution. The House has no say.
Second off, Boehner is not in power yet. Nancy Pelosi is still Speaker of the House until the lame duck session is over.
First off, regardless of Pelosi still being Speaker, Boehner should be leading the charge to destroy this lard bill. How about showing some spine and guts? May I add, one of his current decisions to put Upton in charge of energy is an insult to everyone that worked on the last campaign. Secondly, regardless of who votes on treaties, everyone in DC should express the truth and their concern for our national security.
It’s past time for every patriot in DC to speak up and inform the American people of the truth and to tell the American people specifically who, by name, is out to destroy this country and our freedom. Politeness is over! That is, of course, unless you want to become a slave to the government.
Thank you for the clarification on who passes on a treaty.
I predict this week sees the DREAM Act, DADT Repeal, and START all pass as well as the stupid tax deal. This will be the worst legislative week for conservativism and the U.S. in years and the 111th Congress will go home happy and the rest of us will forget and go out to buy snuggies for our loved ones.
I just called Boehner’s DC office. It became instantly obvious that his staffer didn’t want to hear my comments about the tax bill. He cut me off and hung up.
These staffers know way less about what is going on in Washington than most of us on this site. It drives me nuts that I work 40 hours a week at a job that has nothing to do with what the Senate and House is doing, yet I seem to know more about where things stand and what the buzz is than Republican staffers. The GOP may as well have their calls go to India.
98% of the staffers I’ve talked to in DC are young, uninformed morons. I’ve complained repeatedly. Politicians should put staff on the telephone that know what is going on in the world. I’m disgusted that they think so little of their Constituents and their opinions. Staffers, for the most part, are arrogant and rude.
These same RINOS still cannot discern why they are loathed and held in lesser esteem than a pile of dog turds.
