Well, that didn't take long.

Just hours after taking control of the House, Republicans passed a sweeping set of rules promising transparency and reform.

But the new majority is already showing these promises aren’t exactly set in stone.

After calling for bills to go through a regular committee process, the bill that would repeal the health care law will not go through a single committee. Despite promising a more open amendment process for bills, amendments for the health care repeal will be all but shut down. After calling for a strict committee attendance list to be posted online, Republicans backpedaled and ditched that from the rules. They promised constitutional citations for every bill but have yet to add that language to early bills.

Surprise!

Seriously though, who here actually believes they'll do things any differently than they always have before?

Either do I, but the point is that they won, and I think as Americans we should all get behind them and support them no matter how ignorant they become.

No surprises there.

I like the title of the legislation proposed to repeal the PPACA - the 'Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act'.

I mean, seriously, are we not mature enough to resist the temptation to turn even the titles of legislation into overt political rhetoric? What are we, 6 years old?

You're an idiot.

It's an up/down vote on "do you support the health care bill the was passed"

What committee do you think that should be debated in?

Are you serious? :facepalm:

Heck, if they're going that route, I'm surprised they didn't fit 2 "Freedom"s and a "Liberty" in there somewhere.

You're an ###hole. So you win.

I'm not completely sure... but I think he was being facetious.




Think back to: "Obama won, get over it"... etc.

In context, his post is simply glistening with comic irony.

Seems Baz and Nono automatically revert to 'you're an #######' response. Makes one wonder if we're really dealing with a single keyboard, multiple personality situation.

Yeah. That's what I was going with.

Sucks when the shoe is on the other hoof, doesn't it, Lefties?

You might want to review the thread as aps was the first one to revert to the, "You're a #######" response.

The ebbs and flows of politicial power.
If the Republicans act like I believe they will, they won't have the house for long. Just long enough to help Obama get reelected.



It's not as if the Dems have been all that, either.

Interesting.
If the Republicans act like you belive they will, they will be acting like they did before the elections. (and they won because of the way they were acting)
But, if they act like you want them to, then they will act like the democrats did (and thats what made them lose)

So, to explain this, the American People voted and spoke, they do not want the democrat programs and socialist BS, what they want is the Republicans to keep the democrats caged up for the next two years until the illegal won in the whitehouse can be replaced, the balance of dem congressmen/women removed and the senate turned over the the American people.

You are just not getting with the program. I must admit though, Im almost soiling myself listening to the liberals cry for the last few days..
You just cant buy entertainment like this.

I see.


As for being entertained, that will wear off with time.
After initially finding it funny, over 2 years worth of Right-wing hissy fits have become tedious and mundane. It goes from to rather quickly.
