1 Week Later: GOP Senate Says 'Screw You' to U.S. Voters

[BluesLegend]

Define "liberal".

Personally I'm careful to distinguish "democrat" from "liberal" they are two distinctly different things imo.

 

[Billy000]

Yeah I agree democrats did contribute to their demise. I don't defend democrats. I don't like many of them. I defend liberal policies. That's all I care about. However none of that justifies going full retard and voting in republicans who are so much worse.

You seem disconnected from reality. Seriously, your analysis is that the nation rejected liberals and their policies because they are stupid? lol

They rejected democrats not liberal policies. Look at the facts jack. The majority of Americans favor the following liberal policies:

1) Raising the minimum wage
2) raising taxes on the wealthy
3) background checks for buying guns
4) extending unemployment benefits

Again, define "liberal".

There's nothing "liberal" about leftwingnuts/Dems. They're trying to force their stupid ideology on everyone else just the same as those they accuse.

Why do you refuse to understand that the voting booth trumps opinion polls that say what you like to hear?

You mean them voting republican? That's because Americans are unaware which party promotes those policies.

On Bill Maher they were interviewing people on the street about the election. They asked a guy his opinion on those same liberal issues and he was for all of them. When asked what party he was voting for he said republican. Derp derp derp.

 

[TheIceMan]

Can I borrow your M14? And does it have a 10x Unertl scope? I'm looking to make some new "friends".

 

[M14 Shooter]

Can I borrow your M14? And does it have a 10x Unertl scope? I'm looking to make some new "friends".

You can, and it has a Leupold -- but I require a $3200 deposit.

Quote the contrived web you weave.
Amazing what people will do when their version of reality comes crumbling down.

LMAO. I'll go the deposit on the scope alone.

Got serial numbers on the lower receiver? You probably don't want this coming back to you ....

Senate Republicans signaling shutdown threat over immigration

Likely incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) may be talking nice and promising comity and common sense in its dealings with the Obama administration. But the tea party wing of the Senate? They're having none of it and making noise about a shutdown over the president's intention to use executive power on immigration. Case in point? Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), in an op-ed for Politico:

And it cannot be implemented if Congress simply includes routine language on any government funding bill prohibiting the expenditure of funds for this unlawful purpose. This is the same way we prevented the President from closing Guantanamo Bay. Such application of congressional power is ordinary, unexceptional, and used thousands of times.
Congress has the power of the purse. The President cannot spend a dime unless Congress appropriates it.

Karl Rove, who himself has advocated for amnesty, urged Congress to use its spending power to block the President’s fiat. He said Republicans should “use every tool available,” and put “riders on appropriations bills that say no money shall be spent to execute this policy.”

Yet reports have surfaced of plans to pass a long-term lame-duck spending bill through Harry Reid’s Senate that contains no such prohibition. This would be unthinkable.
​

Now, Sessions and his fellow ideologues like Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) are being very careful about not using the word "shutdown" and are in fact claiming that using appropriations bills to shape policy is standard procedure. Yes, except for one key aspect: trying to use appropriations bills to defund one of the president's key policy priorities will likely lead to a shutdown because, well, the president is not likely to sign a bill that undoes a signature achievement (think back to Sen. Ted Cruz and his unsuccessful shutdown over the Affordable Care Act).

Yes, Lads and Laddies, (and morons), the new GOP Senate is lubing up the arse of the American Voter.

No... they're "LUBING UP THE ARSE" of YOU PROGTARDS, because that's what the MAJORITY OF AMERICANS SENT THEM THERE TO DO.

Deal with it, and stop whining, you pathetic little imbecilic creature.

Yes, Lads and Laddies, (and morons), the new GOP Senate is lubing up the arse of the American Voter.

Republican disapproval ratings are already at 75% but for some insane reason republicans still get elected. It's American stupidity at its finest.

Republicans don't give a shit most Americans are against a shutdown of the government. They just do what ever radical, destructive means to get their warped self interested agenda across.

What about the only thing that got shut down was a war memorial. Shut down to veterans, but not to illegals holding a rally. Why do you hate America?

16% of the federal gov was shut down. Thousands were placed on furlough including my sister.

It's the GOP who hate America apparently.

The government shut down for two weeks....
Get over it already.

Well we will never get the 24 billion lost to the market now will we?

A month from now the Libs will say we lost a trillion...

All of us here know that you are a leftist hack of the highest order. Not only by your posts, but by your AVATAR. Talk about an oxymoron- liberalism/ Islam and Homosexuals. You'd be the first to get decapitated by Muslims once they found out you are gay or support gays you idiot.

They have a mandate by the people to lead. Americans don't want Obama in charge anymore.

In fact, they want the GOP to take charge and Obama to back off.

ETA: sigh. the C&P shows up big again. apologies.

Nation backs Republican agenda in new poll: Majority want Obama to play second fiddle to GOP

A new Gallup poll shows that the majority of Americans don't want President Barack Obama calling all the shots anymore.

Americans say by a large margin that they'd rather Obama back off and let Republicans take the lead in the new Congress than the other way around.

The poll supports Republican claims that last week's midterm elections were in fact a referendum on the president - an assessment the White House has forcibly denied both before and after the president's party was walloped at the ballot box.

Americans clearly want Obama to follow Republicans' lead and not the other way around, a Gallup poll released this afternoon shows

Great article. More at link:

Nation backs Republican agenda in new poll Daily Mail Online

Lol I love how you cons feel the need to use a ridiculously large font to get info across. I can read it just fine with a normal font assclown.

Well I already made the point that Americans are stupid so you going out of your way to show me this poll was pointless.

The truth is, regardless of whether or not Americans are smart enough to realize it is that the GOP has no plan. Nothing. They have put forth no other agenda besides obstructing anything Obama does. Their economic polices have been proven to be useless. They also ignore popular opinion on basically anything. They are corrupt, self interested scumbags and you are all too dumb see it.

Yep, they were stupid enough to put the ass clown Obutthurt in office, twice. Libtards claim popular opinion backs their stupidity up when just the opposite is true. Idiots.
