Healthcare repeal fails

Yet we're paying for that. Nice, big fat salaries, $140K/year, plus super benefits. Thanks, Speaker Boeher - wouldn't want actual Congressional work to interfere with your golf game or your lobbying on the floor of Congress, passing out checks from oil companies.

The GOP was elected to help the economy and jobs, and so far have nothing but two failed bills, trying to achieve big government control over other people's lives, to show for it.

I'm surprised you support that type of big government interference and control, Dell - I thought you said you were small government?

And then there's Boehners huge mistake yesterday, and again today, of calling for votes the wrong way, and not having enough votes to renew the Patriot Act. Surprise! You guys don't have a clue what you are doing!

This should make you feel better. "It's important to do what we said we were going to do," said Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz. "The new plan will build upon a partial roster of cuts released Wednesday that targeted school aid, the Environmental Protection Agency and would kill off a high-speed rail program that Obama wants to significantly expand"

Now get out of the way and stop interferring. And if they continue on this pace they deserve a week vacation for every two worked. Dems should stay in DC and work in defiance.

the last thing we need to cut is school aid

[Riot]

BTW the steel workers who would be put to work would have last names like Hsu, Lee and Lu and if they were allowed to have pasports they'd be in chinese. Maybe you meant 'iron worker' as they will at least have to build the bridges. The actual track laying is done by guys just starting out with the railroads, guys that aspire to 'ticket please' type of jobs. The elite of the class get to drive. And that steel used for high speed rail must have some detailed specifications and that means even more FOR CHINA. Now if somehow Dems could get other countries to build high speed rail or anything else using American engineers/workers they may be on to something. It's easy RIOT just come up with ideas that DON'T SPEND THE PEOPLES MONEY! Then again that would be far too unregulated and to close to private enterprise, ie capitalism for DEM comfort.

All the projects require American-made goods and workers.

"This pace"? The Republicans haven't done diddley yet, except two failed bills, and three resolutions - THREE - attacking women's current Constitutional health rights!

LOL!

Apparently the Republicans most important, major, immediate focus isn't jobs, isn't the economy, wasn't even the budget - it's to take away women's Constitutional rights by a big government takeover and intrusion.

Yeah, these guys are really the "small government" types.

Boehner doesn't even know how his own caucus is voting, and they apparently can't count. They didn't go over things with the caucus. They need to get it together, and fast.

The Tea Party is going to kill the GOP if they are not careful. Sticking to a particular dollar figure (the Tea Party refusal of the rest of the GOP budget in the private caucus) out of sheer stubborn demagoguery is silly.

Trying to take that huge dollar figure out of only 14-17% of our budget, attacking only the most necessary and helpful services (education, EPA, etc) while completely ignoring budget cuts in defense and entitlements is naive.

That type of thing may make you personally happy, but I doubt it will fly with the rest of America as they lose those services. We'll see.

Do you still need to be reminded THAT THE DEMS STILL CONTROL THE SENATE? My hoipe is when Nov gets here the voters send the Dems another message. If that happens im sure Obama will exercise his power of veto.

I guess you need to be reminded that we're not talking about the Senate. We're talking about the House. All financial bills originate within the House. We are talking about what is happening within the House. That has nothing at all to do with the Senate. Yes, the Dems control the Senate.

no one deserves a week off after two weeks of 'work'. especially not members of congress, they barely 'work' as it is...

altho, one has to wonder if we might be better off with pols gone for longer periods.

I guess all bills quit going through the Senate if it passes through the House?

What I said about Nascar and his VA benefits was that he deserved them, and I was happy to pay for them.

No, that was not brought up "in direct retaliation of who pays NASCAR's va beni's." it was brought up in response to the contention that those nasty illegals are getting benefits that citizens do not.

Aren't the illegals getting free medical care?

Probably not best for you to post at all, not having a brain that is. I would be willing to bet you that Riot has a higher IQ than you. I am so confident that I would bet 10000 per IQ Point. Her being a doctor and you a failed accountant working as a security guard and all. It is the lock of the century.

Not sure about IQ's but RIOT has the common sense of a horse trying to get back to her stall while the barn is on fire. A former GOPer who admired Carter.

Ridicules a Christian group building a creation museum/theme park yet supports the building of a mosque at ground zero.

Ridicules the Tea Party and its violent rhetoric yet supports the takeover of a country by the muslim brotherhood pointing out how peaceful they are.

She is all over and everywhere. And a proud Obama spokeswoman. Strike her theme song....

Nobody is talking about the legislative process. We are talking about how the House leadership is acting, what our Republican Representatives are doing in the House.

Dell opines:

Ridicules a Christian group building a creation museum/theme park yet supports the building of a mosque at ground zero.

Because things are the same. Well, I guess in your simplistic-minded brain they are. They both involve religion?

The only true similarity, which you missed, would be allowing both to be constructed, and I support that.

Ridicules the Tea Party and its violent rhetoric yet supports the takeover of a country by the muslim brotherhood pointing out how peaceful they are.

Stop lying about things I haven't said Dell. Either you are that stupid: you really cannot read - or you are lying deliberately. Pick one.

No, I do not support the Muslim Brotherhood taking over Egypt. I never said that. And I never said they were peaceful. I said that in Egypt only they have been non-violent.

Face it, Dell - you don't appear bright enough to be lecturing others on matters of IQ.

I would love to take that bet. Enjoy your Saturday night meeting. You dont know anything about accounting yet you voice an opinion. Im not wasting all day here like you are. BTW I make pretty good money as a security guard. Maybe im happy being a security guard. Im sure your happy wasting your whole day on this site. Do you even have a job? You dont know the circumstances as to why im not in the accounting field but you want to talk your trash being the horse manure that you are. Just curious why are you putting Riot against me and not you? Are you afraid of this Security Guard having a higher IQ than you? It doesn't take much of a IQ to clean a toilet.
