Seems like a lot of liberals on CD just can't stand the fact that that 1/2 of a branch of government isn't voting their way. The Congressional elections of 2010 were a landslide for a reason, they were voted to obstruct, obstruct, obstruct and stop Obama's out of control presidency.

Really, they were voted in to obstruct? LOL..Somebody should have told the voters that. Maybe congress wouldn't have a 9% approval. All they're doing with there obstruction is assuring another 4 years of Obama.

Please tell me the cause of such a landslide victory? I'm waiting and remember that 9% approval rating applies to the democratically controled Senate too.

They are totalitarians at heart. This is why they praise Castro, Chavez and Marx, while deriding Jefferson. The basis of liberalism lies in tyranny and in the heart of Stalin. Stalin created modern US liberalism, and todays liberals are his bastard children.

The big picture.

The approval rating for the finance industry is? The confidence of investors is? The disapproval rating for Tea is?

There's something manifestly repugnant with elected officials using public trust to exercise war games inflicted upon the masses of my countrymen, and the whole of humanity. Reporting from rainy occupied WV having a coffee party. And my Pope agrees.

Balance of power? Shooting fish in a barrel is not balanced. It's sociopathic. Good thing Ron Paul is so heavily invested in gold. He's done wonders to inflate it's price into the stratosphere as children in his district are denied food stamps. No problem he'll encourage locals to deport them to a blue state.

Politics, money and medicine... don't seem to mix well without killing folks.

...and his out of control tax cuts.

And even the other Republicans told Boehner to stop being an ass and just pass the damn bill.

So you actually believe voters elected people to go to congress to obstruct. Voters elect officials to make improvements not stifle any and all progress. I've never heard anything that moronic even on CD. Tell me one positive thing the publican congress has done besides watch their approval TANK and deliver Obama a nice campaign feather in his cap.

If we're talking about hating balance of powers, should we assume you are not OK with Gingrich's comments about judges as well?

Most of America is really tired of Congress helping us to death.

Because they have no respect for our Constitution, nor do they want to. It goes against all of their aspirations.
