Why is a pissant like Kucinich, who will never be more than a congressman, allowed to attack a governor? It was ugly to watch.

I noticed this on Fox. I thought Republicans won the house, and I still see rats conducting their Nazi interrogations that appear on national news. Yeah, this would be the stupid party.

On the bright side. Card Check is pretty much dead.

With 60 Senate seats, majority in Congress and the Presidency, the one piece of legislation that would have saved the unions never made it to the Presidents desk.

Why?

The dems show whose side they are on: commie union thugs and NOT the taxpayer.

Dems view taxpayers only as a meal ticket and a sugar daddy and other than that, they disdain taxpayers.

That is why dems always raise taxes instead of cutting spending because that is their go to default position.

Did they beat him with billy clubs?
Did they smash his head against the pavement?
Did they kick his back with their jack-boots?
And did they get away with it, scott-free?

US Congress doesn't have to balance their budget so they could care less about a balance budget.

On the bright side states like Ohio because of Unions Dennis will lose his seat in two years

Ohio loses a seat.

I watched parts of this fiasco and I was so impressed with Governor Walker.

The left will do what it does. Insult, ignore, and outright lie.

Sickening display but not unexpected.

1) dims deity is their power and control. This is evil so its source is satan.

2) dims will do whatever they have to do to remain in power and they never stop stealing property from hard working Americans and using it to buy themselves even more power and control.

3) Card Check would have made the unions too powerful... they must keep even their strongest soldiers dependent... just like they have done with 45% of all of Americans... those classified as leeches and parasites.

What I don’t understand is why people don’t get up and walk out. Tell them “I don’t have to sit her and be insulted. So stick it!”

Or tell them “When this hearing is over, Mr. Kucinich, you and I will meet outside. I want to give you the opportunity to talk to me like that when I’m within arm’s reach. Are you man enough?”

Wasn’t Kucinich mayor of the first American city to declare bankruptcy?

Yes. He was our mayor here in Cleveland. We used to call him “Dennis the Menace.”

Walker wasn’t complaining, I was. Walker did great. I don’t think that little of a creep of a congressman should be allowed to act like that.
