I hear you SOL.
I think we’re in agreement: to quote you, “GOP should be crafting alternative conservative bills in the House”.
They should have been doing that in the Senate as well when they controlled that chamber.
Again, GOP = “The Stupid Party”. I read your posts, I see the results of the lack of leadership on “our” side.
In fact I have pointed out MANY times that Bohner passed the Senate tax bill and the VAWA as is largely because he couldn't get his own GOP caucus to agree on a alternative bill.
So I warn it will happen again, to those who keep posting ‘everything is fine, just go home house’.
Now in contrast Pelosi kicked butts when she ran the house, whatever she saw as the best for libs in the longer run she got it passed (for the most part)
Dole is just pulling a Powell, making trouble because of sour grapes.
