I am not trying to be 'clever' at all. And I am not talking to anyone in specific. I am generalizing to people whom feel it is ok to blame the republicans for everything and whom feel it is ok to take from the 'rich' and 'spread the wealth.' No personal attack here.....can you say the same???

What a bunch of lazy, crybaby, do-nothing, time-wasting, load of blood suckers. Keep your fat azz in D.C. until the job is complete. They earn six figures, but complain if they have to stay and work.

Why should the GOP work to pass another $1T pork bill for Harry Reid, and even worse, why the hell are you thanking him for trying to put the nation another $1T in debt?

They should stay to make sure the funds are spent correctly? News flash, if they go home, its not spent at all..

p.s. they arent taking an extended vacation on the taxpayers money, they are paid a salary..

They dont need to stall legislation, they can simply go home. Why would they want to pass a stupid pork bill ?

You celebrate even more debt and wasteful spending, while blaming the GOP for not wanting to spend to increase the debt, while you pretend to care about the debt

I can understand the labeling of the Dream Act as controversial, but the Start Treaty certainly isn't controversial.

Yowza, Obamacare is pretty unpopular.

New Low in Support for Health Care Reform - The Numbers

"The law’s never been popular, with support peaking at just 48 percent in November 2009. Today it’s slipped to 43 percent, numerically its lowest in ABC/Post polling. (It was about the same, 44 percent, a year ago.) Fifty-two percent are opposed, and that 9-point gap in favor of opposition is its largest on record since the latest debate over health care reform began in earnest in summer 2009.
More also continue to “strongly†oppose the law than to strongly support it, 37 percent to 22 percent."

The Start Treaty is very controversial.

New Start Treaty Advances in Senate - NYTimes.com

Mr. Alexander said he planned to support the treaty but said that the Democrats were wrong to insist on a vote in a last-minute fashion before the Senate adjourns. “This is not the way to do it,†he said. “This is not the way to get 67 votes. And it’s a reckless way to consider the treaty.â€

And this is from someone who supports the treaty.

Nope as I said the American people have voted this group of merry morons out, they should pass a budget, pass the tax bill and go home. They should not try to cram their agenda down our throats since they have been so soundly rebuked.

Do you get paid if you do the job wrong?

Willing to bet so.

They have had 4 years to do some of these things and they wait until after they get their butts kicked to do something.

Amazing.

A little late dont ya think?

The GOP doesn't want to follow the system of government our forefathers set up. Therefore, they try to sabotage the progress of our government. They are anti-American!
