If the Dems lose Congress....

If the Dems lose Congress

If???

and become obstructionists just like the Regressives have been, will the Rightwingers on this forum bitch about it?

Of course. That's the way it works. It won't matter if the Congressional Dems obstruct or not, though. Obama will veto everything the GOP tries to do.

no he wont
just like Bush didnt

When the Republicans win the House and come within 3 seats of winning the Senate, after 2010, not much will happen. That's why Obama is trying to get as much through as possible now.

Of course cons will bitch about it as if it were the first time in history such a thing had occurred.

The whole point of our system of government was to be obstructionist! The less power those gubamint types have to fuck us with National Obama Care or Cap and Tax the better.
Our representatives aren't supposed to "get together in a bi-partisan manner" to fuck us over with idiotic legislation that they haven't even read!

You might have found some better words to say it, but the meaning is spot on and the message is perfect.

That will be interesting to watch. So far, we know that the Big 0 has poitical leanings, but he really hasn't done too much except watch.

He's been voting "Present" since he got into the White House. Luckily, you can vote "Present" in the White House from any vacation venue.

A veto would mean that he has to come down on one side or the other of any legislation. Maybe a pocket veto. That's more his style. Clean hands and no action. Voting "Present" by not voting. The Big 0 acts by inaction.

Bush was a Big Spending Neo Con being sent legislation by big spending Neo Cons. At the end, the Democrat Congress was so busy trying to impeach him that they didn't do too much. Not much to veto.

This Congress is going to cripple and dismantle everything that the Big 0 has done. He'll have to either veto it or watch it go away.

This will be good TV. With the NFL on strike next year, it'll be the greatest show on Earth.

amazing how the GOP can block things with only 41 seats in the senate where the DNC couldnt with 49 seats

The GOP is Just THAT Good!

Cripes ~ we haven't even cast the first vote, and the dim-progressive-libs are ALREADY whining about how they're going to get their asses handed to 'em!

You do realize that Republicans havent had any power to obstruct, right?

You guys control both chambers of Congress and have had a filibuster proof Senate for most of the last two years. What the heck can you possibly blame Republicans for? Not encouraging your own guys to vote for your crappy pieces of legislation?

That's not true. They employ all sorts of delaying tactics, parliamentary maneuvers, roll calls, and any other obstructionist bullshit they can think of to thwart the will of the people.

 

[Synthaholic]

synth, for the rest of the people here

please list all the bills the GOP has held up and how the fuck they could with the minimal numbers they have right now?

Health care reform and Financial reform, to start.

Both of those PASSED dimwit

Just because the Democrats claim something is or was blocked, does not mean it actually was.

And both of them were held up. HCR took over a year.

People with such faulty memory cannot be trusted with power.

You asked which bills did the Regressives hold up.

But neither were held up. They both passed.

First off you have to beleive the bullshit lie from the dems that the republicans are obstructionists. Maybe they just want to slow down the socialistic spending of the dimboob socialist idiots.

Another brain surgeon.

Are you aware that slowing down IS obstructing?

No, I guess not.

You had 60 votes for a while, and 59 before that. Could have passed it instantly at any time. The GOP would never have bothered to fillibuster for real. Woulda just taken calling them on their bluff.

Why didn't they?

Because the Senate is dysfunctional, and puts more importance on their rules and their clubbiness than they do on any issues before the country. Reid knows that if he makes THEM filibuster, some day they will make HIM filibuster.

As for the bullshit meme about Dems having 60, that was in name only. Nelson (D) of Nebraska is far more conservative than Collins (R) of Maine.

If they use the same back room deals, payoffs for votes, total disrespect for what the American people want, if they have no transparency, if they make a habit of lying to the American public about legislation like the Democrats have, sure I'll bitch about it...

That isn't even close to the OP, but thanks for the deflection.

No it wasn't a deflection Lumpy was using examples of why we will bitch and protest and remove them from office. Hows the hopey and changey thingy working for ya?

That's not true. They employ all sorts of delaying tactics, parliamentary maneuvers, roll calls, and any other obstructionist bullshit they can think of to thwart the will of the people.

The sad truth of this is:

It isn't dums NOR repugs.

THEY aren't the one's in control.

Do you think ANYONE, in their right mind, would promise things to folks,

and THEN,

once the peeps put their trust in them,

BETRAY EVERYTHING PROMISED?

At our hearts? I just can't believe anyone would Set Out to do that to us.

It defies logic.

I mean, what?

I'm going to invest myself in chumming you up, just to make you have to HATE me for being a liar?

Does Not Compute.

On a basic level, humans don't do that to each other.

We're "pack animals," as it were.

We NEED affirmation, and we require love to SURVIVE.

(see : Failure to Thrive)

I call Obama ObOZO, but it really isn't a "personal thang" ~

I believe HE was duped, too. I think he actually wanted something better for all of us. It was the attacks that lead to his defensive posture. I think he was as betrayed as we were.

Libpocalypse Now says : "Make 2010 COUNT" at the end of each of his posts, and we truly need to do that.
