I just thought it was the obvious.

I mean, who are they fooling?
It just makes them look petty and shallow.

Default propaganda alert!

The original post is an excellent example of propaganda.

No detail is provided so no meaningful discussion can take place.

We are all aware that as bills go, they include 'riders' that have nothing to so with the intent of the bill. This allows the rabid partisan minions to claim a legislator voted against saving speckled puppies by intentionally failing to mention the law also included the rider that the current president can hold the position for life.

The propagandists truly believe the electorate is stunninly stupid, prejudiced and short sighted. Misreading the reason Obama was elected, they continue forward with a false belief we all find unforgivably insulting.

Of course it's propaganda, that's how the dems roll. The OP is simply posting garbage but we all knew that.

So, please, follow your conscience, VOTE DEMOCRAT for a better America.
Thank you. GG
Tsk...those rascally Republicans. Imagine being the Opposition Party and being serious about it...just like the Democrats when GWB was in office.

Did you complain about the Democrats blocking bills?

Congressional Bills: Main Page

Since some folks here apparently want to read the bills, above is the government website that contains every word of every bill considered by the current 111th Congress and some before that. But really, it's simple enough at the original post's link, if you check the links below each listed bill, those are news articles explaining each situation from various points of view, and there is no talk from Republicans about frivilous pork stuff being attached to bills that would prevent them from passing.

As for the above Post #15, there's no need for me to complain about the Democrats. I am a Democrat. Why would I complain about Democrats? That doesn't make any sense. I just thought some folks just might want to know some FACTS before they voted. See, the truth is sometimes hard to see, but it is always there. I'm just putting it out there in plain view.
