Oooh- a letter of objection form the House GOP “leadership”
THAT will get her attention
s-a-r-c
Frankly, why don’t the GOP lawmakers grow some stones and just GO HOME if we are no longer to have a bipartisan legislature? The “people” have spoken. Now is the time to let the democrats get all the “glory” for the gory mess Reid Pelosi Barneyfrank et al will make of what remains of the US government
ya know, that is not a half bad idea.....keep half the chamber empty...
I would love to see that...
In fact, that's probably the best idea I've heard so far on how to deal with these dreadful and dangerous people! "Re-write this, Madame Speaker...!!"
“why don’t the GOP lawmakers grow some stones and just GO HOME “
I think that would invite an election disaster even worse that what just happened. I can just hear the demos crowing during the next campaign, “Your elected Republican congressman did not even show up? Is that the kind of representation you deserve?”
I think that voting “Present” might at least sound better. But,,, really,,, voting “No” is still probably the wisest thing to do.
“Frankly, why don’t the GOP lawmakers grow some stones and just GO HOME...?”
I concur. At least they should vote against all Dhim measures that are not beneficial to the country, instead of “working with” them so that legislation is only slightly less offensive.
If they insist on staying, they should draft sensible counter-legislation, publicize it and make the dhims vote it down.
And if Pelosi and Reid get any more fascist, then they should all just leave. Show up and vote “present” just often enough to make sure they get paid.
You know, back in August of 2008, the republicans stayed in chambers...in protest.
Now, if these rule changes pass...I would back them all leaving Washington D.C. and returning with their constituencies with torches & pitchforks.
