Remember when Teabaggers promised to "take America back" ?

[Decepticon]

Did you really think that coming on here and accusing the GOP controlled House of being a "do nothing" body was going to fly when it's common knowledge that Harry Reid has over 30 House bills sitting on his desk that he won't let go to the floor of the Senate?

Your screen name is rather "apt"...

Right now the GOP controls the House...the Democrats control the Senate and the Presidency. The House IS sending bills to the Senate. The Democrats ARE being obstructionists. That isn't "whining"...that's simply pointing out the reality of the situation.

Isnt the OP a true representative of the dems best and brightest?

The OP is a representative of the Dem's belief that they can use their stranglehold over the mainstream media to frame what is happening with legislation since the 2010 mid-term elections as a Republican "do nothing" thing even though it's patently obvious that it's now the Democrats that are the obstructionists.

It's the "Big Lie" theory...based on the premise that if you repeat a lie enough times, some people will begin to believe what you're saying.

If we hold the Presidency AND one house of congress and CONZ hold one house of congress, it seems that the reason things aren't getting done is you guys.

But hey, lets look at the major legislative proposals, shall we?




Cut, Cap and Balance Act, H.R. 2560
No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, H.R. 3
Protect Life Act, H.R. 358
Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act, H.R. 2
American Jobs Act, S. 1549
Respect for Marriage Act, S. 598, H.R. 1116
Stop Online Piracy Act, H.R. 3261
PROTECT IP Act, S. 968


Gee...two abortion bills, a marriage bill, an attempt to repeal the healthcare bill, SOPA and PIPA and trying to cut social security on the backs of recipients.
THE ONLY JOBS bill was SPONSORED BY HARRY REID
S.1549: American Jobs Act of 2011 - U.S. Congress - OpenCongress


Yeah, we're obstructing your VERY IMPORTANT WORK of denying gays the right to a union recognized by the state and stopping abortions.


Man, it must be EMBARRASSING to be kneecapped with a swift blow of facts like that. You went down like Joe Theissman.

Taking America back implies that they once had America.

The TEA PARTY movement and OWS both got about half of it right.
