HOUSE OF CARDS ABOUT TO FOLD?


There they were, in the waning hours of this Congressional session, charged with the duty of doing what is right for the country. Yet, while they were having top-secret negotiations of the so-called “fiscal crisis” in the back room, they failed to deal with the disaster Sandy left behind and they failed to deal with a renewal of the Violence Against Women Act, two top-priority pieces of legislation that could have been handled in the front room while the bull was going on in the back room.    

COMMENTS:
The House Republicans proved beyond a reasonable doubt that they are not up to the tasks of getting the things done that this country needs to get done.  It’s obvious that, should they control both Houses and the Presidency, they still don’t have the skills or the desire to do the job.  After being faced with a totally ticked off America of both parties and a rancorous outcry from party stalwarts, the House leadership reluctantly agreed to deal with the Sandy issue today.  How dumb can you get?  And nothing about violence against women?  The House Republicans are outflanked and irrelevant in all respects.  The worse thing is that they all believe it’s Obama’s fault. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I understand that Al Gore sold his Current TV Network to Al Jazeera, the Al Qaeda network.  Can’t he be jailed for aiding and abetting the enemy?  How can they broadcast in the U.S. anyway?  I’m outraged.  (Jeremy ~ Costa Mesa, CA)
A. The Current Network is a cable network and there is nothing in the U.S. law that prohibits foreign ownership of a cable station.  Al Gore, like his left-wing liberal friends, doesn’t care whether you are outraged or not; you, sir, are a pissant.  And now that the left-wing progressive liberals have succeeded in totally taking over the government, they can do anything they want; and they will.  Al Jazeera says it wants the venue because there are hundreds of thousands of Muslims living in the United States and it has the right to broadcast to them.  Somehow, I don’t believe they intend to broadcast Patti Paige music.   

Q. I believe, as you do, that we should have a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution.  How do we make that happen?  (Darvon ~ Redding, CA)
A. I could supply you with that answer, but you should already know where to find it.  This tells me you have not read, at least recently, the Constitution.  Look it up on the Internet and see what it says about Amendments.  It’s several paragraphs before “condiments.” 

Q. The Republicans keep saying that Obama wants them divided and ruined.  Is that true?  (Harley ~ Hurricane, UT)
A. Let’s be honest with ourselves.  The Republicans have been ineffective and in disarray since Reagan left office.  George H.W. Bush rode in on his coattails; otherwise, he never would have been elected to the Presidency.  Clinton took advantage of GHWB’s blatant ineffectiveness while the Republicans continued to disintegrate.  Bush 2 came along and won squeakers against Gore and Kerry, both very weak candidates.  Bush’s win was an accident, as far as I am concerned; he never should have been nominated.  And when he was President, the Republicans garnered control of both houses of Congress and could not accomplish diddly-squat.  As the party continued on its path of self-destruction, it put up McCain and Romney, two very weak candidates and both against the wishes of the party membership.  And even with control of the House, just what Obama agenda have they been successful in stopping?  But, Obama didn’t do “it” to the Republican Party; they did it to themselves, because they lost their values, they lost their loyal membership and they lost their resolve to stand up for both.
