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.
