Maybe not a bad thing
« on: April 21, 2007, 12:32:47 AM »
The Most 'Do-Nothing' Congress since 1948
The current Congress -- the 109th -- is set to spend the least amount of time in Washington of any Congress since 1948.

The House of Representatives is projected to meet for only 99 days this session, nine days less than the Congress of 1947-48. The Senate is projected to meet for 129 days, tying the sixth fewest days a Senate session has met since 1948.

To some, style always trumps substance.

But what they have done has sure given you fascists fits and that in itself is enough for me. They work schmarter, not harder as an old boss of mine once said to do.

I'm not sure that should be the goal of responsible governnance. You mileage may vary.

It is when fascist warmongers  are in charge . The first duty of a patriot is to fight that.

Let me know when they get past the rhetoric and to the action part.

You must still have your head up your ass. Voting a time for withdrawal is about as much as they can do now. Cutting off funding will be next.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. I think this is the first time a Congress has ever denied a Pres in war time. There is much more coming, but not in the simplistic terms you shallow folks think.

The consensual  blowjob that the Repub congress always gave him when he asked for money for his false & illigal war.

Did they cut his money, or just load the bill with pork and symbolic deadlines?
