I see where John Boehner is back on the its our way or shut the country down road. It has been common knowledge that some of the new Tea Party group were not going to vote to increase the debt limit. You have argued for the raising of the debt limit in the past so we know you can get the between 78 and 100 of your own party votes you will need to get it done. You and your party are in a no win spot. If you don’t raise the debt limit your actions will increase the deficit by accelerating the time our interest rates will go up. If you raise it many of you will not get through your own primary.
Please keep up your rhetoric about Medicare and Medicaid going. Your party has really missed the reason the country sent you to power this time. I will explain it to you The country wants jobs. It felt that the Democrats weren’t doing the things they promised during the election, like removing the tax benefits for companies sending jobs overseas. They felt that they tried to push their extreme agenda while they were in control. Your group has created the fear about the deficit even if China who just by its size will pass us eventually.
Every argument the Republicans give starts out with the people sent us here to take care of the most important thing to them, Jobs! Could you explain to me where the jobs are in all the anti abortion actions. All I can see is eventually this road will only lead to more people to be unemployed.
I love this one “We don’t have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem.” We can’t afford food medicine or education. We can however afford an extra engine for the b30,oil subsidies,tax deductions for private jets. If we give these things up how many jobs would be lost? Lets go back to Reagan era taxes and fix this mess. We could also reinstate the draft and fire the outside contractors doing the jobs our servicemen and women did for a couple of hundred years.
Eric Cantor did you do as bad when you were on the debating team. Did you make something up and then keep repeating it hoping someone would believe it? The average family not only controls their spending( what is the credit card debt in America, what protion of the collapse was caused by continual remortgaging, In many households the wife is working to increase revenues, your party allowed the housing to get out of control because it made it look like the economy was ok even though no job growth was a tell it wasn’t. You want to stop kicking the can down the road and put it back in the same sewer it just escaped.
While were sitting around the table. (If you live in a 1950′s setting TV sitcom) When we bought our house and we borrowed the money what was the amount of every dollar spent that was borrowed?
I awake most mornings to watch c-span. I have an open mind as long as you agree with me. If you have read any of my prior posts you already know Fox News is not my favorite place to find any sanity. It has finally passed the credibility of the floor speeches in the house. Last year the Republicans screamed that they had no input into the bills that were passed. We who watched know that this was false. In committee they did get to input and like they are doing now it was their way or the highway. Having no power they not only lost while the Democrats worked like an eger beaver and passed a multitude of laws that helped both Republicans and Democrats . Now we get to the don’t waste my time part. This group is also moving at a fair clip their cry is “Reduce the deficit” but their actions are everything else. This congress is telling the public that all the secondary things that if they had run on them wouldn’t have gotten them elected are most important. If they think a bill might get get through the Senate they fill it with amendments that will surely stop it. They will tell you they are the good guys because the other side can stand on the house floor and complain knowing even if a couple of their members vote against it they will still win. Here is the best part they are working on this year’s budget. When we get to October we won’t have had time to change anything for next year. Then we can complain how bad the deficit is again.This next video may not be your exact subject but in the long run it sounds like all of you. After you listen stop wasting my time or like the teachers you are attacking vote yourselves a paycut and an extra penalty for doing nothing with my money that pays you. You may want to turn the volume down
unseen by twistedxstarz If you want to be reelected come to the floor with a true plan. Lets start with real tax reform. The republicans real problem isn’t the Tea Party. Sarah and Michell will take care of them. They will keep opening their mouths ,tweeting and ghost written face book pages and prove to the sane voters that a good mother and a beauty queen looser have good qualities but really can’t lead a country. Their group will vote republican. Michale Moore’s followers will vote Democratic. Ratchel Maddow’s watchers will vote Democratic even if the gay bars don’t open until after the polls close. Glen Beck’s watchers will vote Republican if they dare leave their homes with all of those dangerous people out their or they didn’t run out of depression pills. That leaves forty percent of us for them to get out to vote. The Democrats think were all poor the Republicans think we can be bought.
Paul Hardcastle don’t waste my time featuring Carol Kenyon
It would make things easier if all of us were thinking the same way. Of course you know we don’t so in only a few months you will be out to get our votes. Both sides will will follow the advice of this next video even if you don’t mean it. Now we know the problem and a we know you are not the answer. So keep on what your doing and either we’ll fail or our forty percent will figure it out
At the beginning of this congressional session the constitution was read on the floor of the house of representatives. Each incoming Senator is given a pocket copy (a tradition started by Sen Byrd). They along with everyone else elected to a federal position pledges to uphold the constitution.
Even though the ability to read is not a requirement for the job I don’t believe we have any literate dependents at work here. If that is true it must be that they have forgotten the definitions of some words. This should remind them. (although this is written to the conservatives it may pay all to read)
Democracy Government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system. The common people of a community as distinguished from any privileged class; the common people with respect to their political power. Congressional conservatives most have missed the second definition
Capitalism An economic and political system characterized by a free market for goods and services and private control of production and consumption. Can someone show me where this is stated as our economic system in the constitution
Freedom The state of being free Exemption from external control,interference,regulation Power to determine action without restraint political or national independence frankness of manor or speech I know freedom of speech is in the Constitution, but can you show me freedom of platform? I think we could allow political spin and still ban it from the airways and floors of congress. I remember when we thought our politicians were telling the truth now we’d like to find one who does.
Lie A false statement made with intention to deceive an intentional untruth a falsehood Something intended to convey a false impression While both parties employ the second definition the Republicans have made it a mainstay of their platform.
Public Service Government Employment How come everyone else is a government worker while your in Public Service?
Insurance A means of protecting or safeguarding against risk or injury. I wonder why this is not for government to do but nation building is?
Representative A person who represents a constituency or community in a legislative body, especially a member of the U.S. house of Representatives or a lower house in certain state legislatures. Represent To stand or act in the place of, as a substitute, proxy, or agent To act for or in behalf of (a constituency, state, etc.) by deputed right in exercising a voice in legislation or government To present, produce, or perform, as on a stage To impersonate, as in acting This one both parties get right if you use the last two definitions And also the first two if those they are representing are not those that elected them but the party they belong to.

The Republican double talk has been fooling the very people their way of thinking hurts. Basically what they are very good at is changing the language. They create new definitions by twisting anything they want to do into a personal plus.
The latest example of this comes out of the obviously large spending that has happened this year. “We are passing the debt on to our kids”. Now that would be a noble statement if they also weren’t for “Lower taxes so the American public can decide how to spend it”. Can you tell me how you pay off the debt incurred buy the wars we are still in if you bring in less money? Wouldn’t that be passing the debt on to our children
I am also amazed at their “Right to life” comments while they are for the death penalty, no gun control,and of course those lower taxes will definitely hire more police. Let’s not forget their passion for the poor objecting to any welfare spending like food stamps and health care. I was also thinking we should legalize bombs because “It isn’t bombs that kill people. People kill people”.
The one I really love is we are for small business because that is what made America great. That really goes along with their push for trade with Columbia stance. Let’s add another country who doesn’t pay their
workers to our preferred nation status (don’t we send them enough money by buying their largest export Drugs?). Lets deregulate so larger companies get away with both figuratively and literally murder. This will help our small businesses stay in business because those larger companies will regulate themselves and not cheat to steal the small businesses customers. These large companies are such angels that they wouldn’t even do anything that might jeopardize the whole worlds economy not only sinking small business but taking its real estate too (including the owners house). Just an observation-Don’t more corporate mergers occur during Republican administrations “increasing competition”?
“They want to make us like Europe”. How dare they when we are trying to make us like South Africa pre apartheid” .
“We are a Christian country from the beginning and the Democrats are trying to make us atheists. Christ fed the poor with fish and wine, but we are against welfare. Christ healed the sick for free but we are against a one payer system, and Christ said “give unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s and give unto God that which is Gods”. I have to get a copy of the Catholic Bible I couldn’t find give unto Exxon or Walmart anywhere in my copy. I did find Christ going into the leper colonies to help. Maybe that was a misprint. Many believe that their bodies are Temples and health care is a moral issue. Christ tossed the money changers out of the Temple, don’t moral issues come from the heart?
“The only government program that works is the military”. If you think they really believe that then why are there 1.43 to 1 civilians in Iraq and almost an even split in Afghanistan. It wasn’t good enough to pay a zillion dollars for a toilet seat. Now we don’t pay our forces until they quit and join a private company?
It isn’t that I don’t believe that the Democrats don’t redefine their positions. They do, but they are just not as outrageous and in their actions are really doing what the Republicans say they are for.
