Another "historic vote."

There's obviously no other serious problems to worry about, which I'm thankful for.

[lightman]

With “Standard Time” running barely five months (early November to early March) it is clear that “Daylight Savings Time” has become the new standard.

Don’t like early morning darkness? Run your school or business on a one hour delay during the winter.

[airborne]

We have to pass the bill to find out what’s in it.

[Cobra64]

” Any single senator could have blocked the daylight saving bill from passing but many didn’t know it was even happening.”

Sorta tells us what these jerks know what they’re voting on. Huh? Pathetic.

[SamAdams76]

Consider me a clock-changing enthusiast.

In fact, I would propose to move the clocks 10 minutes forward for six months and then 10 minutes backwards for the next six months so that we get or lose our Daylight Savings more gradually.

[ClearCase_guy]

Does our political class know what it's doing?

Manifestly not.

[Da Coyote]

Our founding fathers were brilliant and wrote the Constitution assuming a population of reasonable intelligence and good morals.

They did not allow for the left.

Does anyone really respect either house of critters?
Really?

Whan will the tipping point law occur? When we tell them to shove it up their rear end.

[Afterguard]

I for one don’t really care if it’s daylight time or standard time as long as it’s one or the other but not both. The only disgusting thing about daylight time is that is a creation of Woodrow Wilson, a demented democrat pig and the worst President in the history of the Republic.

[yesthatjallen]

While I support using one set time all year I don't like the fact this was done without public discussion as to which time to use.

What I like even less is how quickly this was done. Our government is supposed to be a deliberative body. I don't like the precedence this sets about changing laws on a whim.

[Rufii]

I hate daylight savings time. It doesn’t save any daylight. Now when we get up in the wintertime, it will seem like the middle of the night.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

So I guess it goes without saying that they didn’t read the bill before they voted on it.

[Organic Panic]

It took a republican to bring unity. It isn’t much right now, but it is unity. It’s a start.

[SaxxonWoods]

The best part is that a group of “experts” immediately said, “No, Daylight savings time is unhealthy, Standard time is closer to human circadian rhythm, and so on." So the Science says congress did it wrong. Somehow it figures.

[adorno]

Now, with more daylight, the sun will cause more global warming, and the climate change hoaxers will be trying even harder to stop fossil fuels. ;)

Or, they could have the sun shine less brightly during the summer months. ;)

[Blood of Tyrants]

The same people complaining about it getting dark so early are going to be complaining about it being dark when they go to school or work.

[dkGba]

Now I’ll never get that damn hour back!!

[quantim]

"...and keeping the government funded..."

Why yes, while they produce nothing and spend your money in redistribution schemes.  I'll give you 30,000,000,000,000 reasons why they suck. Too bad fixing DST is the best they can do.

[unlearner]

This will cause lots of needless deaths.

When changing clocks it is customary to replace smoke alarm batteries.

Women and children will be hurt the most.

[KittyKares]

Sorry, but I’m confused. Does that mean we won’t have to change the clocks twice a year in California? One time is permanent? This is the first I heard of it, thanks to Free Republic.

[Tupelo]

A wise Indian once told me that only a politician would think cutting the bottom off a blanket and sewing it to the top would make it longer.
