The Democrats thwarting the will of the people

Big deal, it is the same for the republicans.


And yes it is a big deal but until we overcome the partisan blindness it will not change.

If the people are divided then somebody's will is gonna get thwarted.

The goal should be to unite not divide.

Seems Obama and the Dems want divisions.....which means they are Anti-American.

Yea, let's look at that. Republicans ---> 90% white. Democrats ---> everyone else.

Let's spell that out. One side 90% white and mostly the same.

The other side. White black brown straight gay scientists uneducated employed unemployed feminists conservatives liberal Christians Muslims Hindu atheist.....

But it's the Democrats who want to "divide"? Seriously? I think it's the Republicans who want to "bully".

You might want to rethink your position. The facts say something else entirely.

Don't get mad at me. Get mad at the facts.

Why are you spelling that out in terms of racism when you brand conservatives as racists for every single thing we believe in that has nothing whatever to do with race. I'm starting to think of you who always point out race as the only ones interested in racism.

Who has a chance to bully someone in the White House who imposes the charge of racism to cover his butt on every thing that comes down the pike, no exceptions.

The story of the little boy who cried "wolf" one too many times comes to my mind when I hear you or President Obama charge others with the repetitive and meritless "racism" rant.

It is not racist to demand that things be done properly, according to the rule of law, and considering all people equal in the eyes of the law.

It's just that simple.

Followed usually by the full House or Senate voting on the bill.

Funny, given that Senate Republicans have made votes on final passage of legislation nearly impossible.

Yeah.....sure they have. The minority is the only cause of this.

That's an intellectually lazy argument.

Only the misinformed among us will fall for it.

That's ever so true, and the Washington Democrats are doing precisely that every day of their fib-filled lives.

 

[kiwiman127]

The OP is right, the Dems are really doing nothing.
The GOP is producing legislation, unfortunately a majority of the GOP legislation doesn't represent the "will of the people", instead the GOP's legislation has been for the "will of the few".
No wonder the goings-on in Washington has generated so much disdain to the point of the lowest approval ratings ever.

In 2010 republicans ran on jobs, the fools who voted believed them, the rest cynically stayed home or didn't even care. So the republicans win the house and did they work for jobs? Of course not, they legislated to remove the freedoms Americans have fought for.

The following wouldn't be so hypocritical if republicans cared for living breathing beings.

"Republican legislators have introduced a wide array of laws designed to either outlaw abortion outright or to discourage it by making ridiculous and sometimes humiliating requirements of women who might consider having a pregnancy terminated. These include so-called TRAP (Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers) regulations."

The Consequences of Evil - Republican Legislation Since 2010

"Having ensured that children will be born through their anti-abortion legislation, House Republicans have now ensured those children will be deprived of proper nutrition once they come into the world, ensuring that 300,000 millionaires will have more money in their pockets at the expense of nearly 500,000 women and children. Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee approved the appropriations bill which reduces WIC funding from $6.73 billion this year to $5.90 billion in 2012. The bill will also cut $38 million from the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSIP), as well as $63 million from the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAB). If the Republicans had been truly interested in slashing the federal budget they could have saved more money by ending tax cuts for the rich or slashing subsidies to the oil companies. Instead they starve the infants and elderly. Why do I say that? WIC could be fully funded at the cost of just one week of Bush’s tax cuts for millionaires. According to the Center for American Progress, “one day’s worth of millionaire tax cuts would feed needy families for a year.”"

If there was ever any doubt that the modern republican is as dumb as a door post and lacking even a smidgen of heart and soul, the above reply should correct so erroneous an assumption quickly.

Private sector jobs have grown for the last 20 months. Government has lost 500,000 jobs since Obama took office.

Oh those pesky facts. Always getting in the way of Republican talking points. And then they whine for us to prove it over and over and over again. How many times do you have to show the same facts before it sinks in to their tiny brains? The facts don't change, only right wing lies. They just get bigger and more outrageous.

Yes we should all fall for the bleeding heart stories. After all you cant think only emote.

It's not the government's job to feed children. Those benefits shouldn't be slashed but ended, terminated completely.

Yes we should all fall for the bleeding heart stories. After all you cant think only emote.

Curious that you can only emote as you assume these are only 'stories' and you're too rigid and controlled for stories. I realize this is over your head, but if you thought rather than reacted emotionally you'd wonder. Reason is lost you ideologues. You belong with the hand raisers here: http://www.usmessageboard.com/congr...ing-the-will-of-the-people-2.html#post4370219 Thought eludes you ideologues. You're too predictable.

Jesus, Allah, your Messiah, or at least your mom still love you even though you are a sad example of humanity.


"When we survey our lives and endeavours, we soon observe that almost the whole of our actions and desires is bound up with the existence of other human beings. We notice that our whole nature resembles that of the social animals. We eat food that others have produced, wear clothes that others have made, live in houses that others have built. The greater part of our knowledge and beliefs has been communicated to us by other people through the medium of a language which others have created. Without language our mental capacities would be poor indeed, comparable to those of the higher animals; we have, therefore, to admit that we owe our principal advantage over the beasts to the fact of living in human society. The individual, if left alone from birth, would remain primitive and beastlike in his thoughts and feelings to a degree that we can hardly conceive." Albert Einstein

I TIRE OF THE CONSTANT DOUBLE STANDARDS OF THE LEFT.

So I will continue to mock such blatant hackery. You havent posted anything I havent read somewhere else. Yawn..................

 

[Katzndogz]

The left is convinced that it is government's job to feed and clothe children. Parents should not be so burdened.

End those programs completely, send the responsibility back where it belongs.

Funny when right wingers talk about responsibility. Then try to force women to have unwanted children.

That responsibility thing went sailing over your head.......

 

[whitehall]

To listen to whiny lefties you would think the Tea Party controlled the entire federal government. That's the power of the left wing press. Which party actually controls the federal government? You don't need both hands to count. There are three branches of government and for this argument you can eliminate the Judicial. The executive..Barry Obama, and the legislative which consists of the senate and the house of representatives. President B. Hussein is as far left wing as you can legally get. He sets the agenda. Democrats have the majority in the senate and by all indications the senate majority leader is a couple of cards short of a full deck. So the republicans hold the majority only in the House and the left can't stop whining about it.
