GOP Majority Struggling To Get Things Done

[mikegriffith1]

Your stuff is simply Orwellian. The House has passed all kinds of bills, but they're stalling in the Senate because the Democrats keep blocking them, since Republicans do not have a fillibuster-proof majority in the Senate.

Yes, the Keystone XL bill took a long time--because Democrats kept holding it up.

You are an utter, blind partisan who does little else but spew rabidly partisan propaganda.

Passing partisan bills is easy....anyone can do it

Getting legislation into law takes compromise, something Republicans are incapable of considering

That is why the Republican Congress is the worst in history

And?

 

[thereisnospoon]

So to you, productivity is just haphazardly passing laws? There is more to it than that. I am not a (R), but as long as they can successfully neuter this empty headed president and his ilk, that is as productive as you could be.

No. Congressional productivity is sending only those bills Obama wants on his desk.

 

[thereisnospoon]

Fuck Obama, he's an obstructionist.

There was an election: he lost. He needs to shut the fuck up and pass the laws the people want

We don't pass the laws the people want here. We'd have gun control and sex ed here if that were true, but it isn't.

Define 'gun control'....
Sex education has been around for at least 4 decades...
Now, what else would you like to discuss?

And?

Bills are getting passed

 

[paulitician]

Why are Democrats obstructing so much? That's 'BAD' for America, ain't it? They lost, now they need to make way for the winners. Their time is up.

Democrats are not obstructing

President Obama is the only one in Washington getting things done

Bwahahahaha!

That's funny.

Oh wait. You were serious?



That's even funnier!

Immigration reform, recognition of Cuba, environmental accord with China

What have Republicans accomplished in the last six years other than shutting down the government?

Well see, therein lies the problem. You as a loyal programmed Obamabot, live in blissful ignorance. All the Republicans need to do is reverse some of your Dear Leader's awful debacles. That's what they were elected to do. The People have spoken. The People are behind them. So stop obstructing and get out of the way.

The inept Republicans are incapable of accomplishing anything.

70 million Americans voted for Obama, slightly less than 30 million voted for Republicans in Congress

The people have spoken

The reality is, the Republicans own the U.S. Congress. Your Dear Leader's reign of terror is over. The Republicans only need to do the few things they were elected to do. And those things are, reversing your Dear Leader's awful healthcare and amnesty debacles.

Other than that, i'm fine with a 'Do Nothing Congress.' They just need to do what the People want them to do. If they don't, they'll be gone. The People have spoken. They're behind them.

 

[HenryBHough]

Isn't it grand to see the emergence of the Democrats as the new party of NO!

 

[thereisnospoon]

Fuck Obama, he's an obstructionist.

We don't pass the laws the people want here. We'd have gun control and sex ed here if that were true, but it isn't.

Knee Grow Please!!!!

Only you Progressive Mass murderers want that shit and sane people aren't fucking interested in your nonsense

Read the polls, dummy.

It should read..."polls are for dummies".

 

[thereisnospoon]

We don't pass the laws the people want here. We'd have gun control and sex ed here if that were true, but it isn't.

ughhh what? The people don't want gun control and we already have sex ed.

Real sex ed and real gun control, and yes, they want both but they get neither thanks to you little morons.

Define "real sex ed"( why you obsess on this is kind of creepy) and "real gun control"....
BTW, neither of which are viable campaign planks.

 

[thereisnospoon]

Read the real polls, you asshole. You know. The one recently decided where the HOUSE went even deeper into the GOP realm and the Dims lost the Senate.

The People SPOKE. Obumbler LOST.

Lost? Funny, he's still in the White House. And in two years you lose again, it's a cycle.

Well, good for you. You figured out that Obumbler wasn't personally running in the MIDTERMS.

On the other hand, you are either too stupid or too dishonest to realize (or admit) that the midterms that WERE run became a proxy fight. Obumbler was effectively ON the ballot in most races. It was a referendum on HIS policies and his positions.

And his Administration and Party got their collective asses handed to them.

You know why? It's because he and his polices suck major ass and the People wanted no continued part of any of it.

The libs love to make attempts at trying to convince us that a loss is actually a win.
They do so with every election cycle in which their side does not make gains.
On the other hand. Liberals will try to make a recount victory by a dem into a mandate.

 

[thereisnospoon]

So a thread about The Obama vetoing republican bills is titled 'GOP struggling to get things done".

So who is the OP blaming?

It's the screaming from the child's table....

 

[hortysir]

Isn't it grand to see the emergence of the Democrats as the new party of NO!

To them that's different, tho

 

[thereisnospoon]

They're doing it on purpose, I think it's because they hate the USA.

You're right....You are blind.

 

[CowboyTed]

Isn't it grand to see the emergence of the Democrats as the new party of NO!

The President has done more than Congress since January...

And by the way you are calling the president with the record low amount of Vetoes as the 'No' guy.

Look at other Presidents... Obama is like two vetoes in 6 years... He could Veto everything for the next 2 years and his number would be still low.

Why so low vetoes? Well one might ask the GOP Congress...

Wow I really can't believe what I just read. I think I have to credit this insane comment to you, by eventually making it my sig line.

 

[Interpol]

Funny to hear GOP trolls on here decry Democrats as the party of no when it's the Democrats who are FOR funding the Department of Homeland Security instead of using it to play games.

GOP has said they want tax reform, but still they offer nothing but more tax cuts across the board while wanting war in like 4 different places simultaneously.

GOP's big idea on Obamacare reform is eliminating the tax on medical devices without offering how to PAY for that cut in revenue.

GOP is clearly the Party of Stupid. You wouldn't know they won big in the midterms because they've acted like total fucking losers for 6 weeks now. I don't recall any other newly-elected one-party-control of the entire Congress being this aimless and stupid and right from the get-go.

It's Boehner and McConnell who look like the lame ducks right now, not Obama.

 

[Chris]

Worst House of Representatives in American history.
Thanks to Republican gerrymandering.

 

[HenryBHough]

And all thanks to Democrat Elbridge Gerry who invented it.

You guys created it now live with it.

Just as you invented ways to screw over America with "new" senate rules. Rules that, if Republicans have any agates, will be used viciously against those who adopted them.
