Really? Show us where. Your side LOST the US House. Your side has a slim but not filibuster proof majority in the Senate. That means our side in effect owns the Senate as well because any bullshit the dems try to scam through will be blocked. And before your knee jerks and hits you in the jaw here's the thing. The Founders set up our government this way on purpose. To limit the power of the federal government. Ever wonder why the Upper Chamber has each state EQUALLY represented? Sheesh. You people have no clue or maybe you do. However, you are pros at bitching and whining when things don't go in your favor..Deal with it.Uhh, fraid you might hafta. The "losers" are still in charge of an overwhelming majority of the government.
Have you asked yourself why the media and the DC democrat establishment has been bellyaching about bi-partisanship?
Not this time. The GOP tried playing nice nice with the democrats and they got stabbed in the back.
So now you people will just have to step aside. Tough shit.
so youre taking the obstructionist role again. if we dont get what we want, you cant get anything either? and you wonder why our government if so messed up right now. this is like a two year throwing a tantrum because they didnt get what they wanted. now im not saying that the dems ideas are full proof or perfect. but what is the rebuttal from the repubs, well i dont like it so we all vote no, no matter what.
why cant you offer solutions instead of simply no's?
why couldnt they vote on the tax cuts individually instead of holding everyone hostage. simply hold a vote for the tax cuts on everyone who makes below $250k and then hold a subsequent vote on the cuts for everyone making above $250k. thats a compromise, let the house hold a vote and the senate. what passes passes, and what doesnt doesnt. thats a good bi-partisan agreement. the vote may not be bi-partisan but an agreement to vote on them individually would force the hand of people on both sides of the isle to see whom them really represent and really support.
this bullshit of Mitch McConnell saying that he will hold up every piece of legislation until the tax cuts is resolved is also akin to a child throwing a tantrum. youre suppose to be an adult, so start acting like one.
As far as the term "hostage" in this instance...Please....Spare me the talking points of MSM and liberals in DC.
I heard soundbites of Sens and Reps on the floor use the word "hostage" 38 times.
THIRTY EIGHT!!!! Jesus Christ!!!
this is whats wrong with the people we send to washington. they dont necessarily represent the people anymore. this is a great reason why we need term limits. we limit the president to a maximum of 2 - 4 years terms. but a senator can be in govt for as long as they get re-elected. that could be upwards of 20-30 years.
Don't talk to me about bi-partisanship.
If what you call "obstructionist" is in other words limiting the power of the federal government, so be it.
In as far as term limits, I agree 100%.
Senate two terms. House 6 terms. No pension and a 50% reduction in pay for both.
Citizen legislature. You serve. You go home. The way the Founders planned it.
