Congress Overreaches

Often the most difficult things to see are those hidden in plain sight. Though rarely reported, the violation of checks and balances attributed to the executive branch by the Democrat-led Congress is actually getting perpetrated by the accusers themselves. They're like an intruding neighbor who charges you with trespassing because you leaned into his yard while throwing him out of your own.

It seems that our Congress has forgotten the rudimentary rules of the Constitutional Game. Since when do they get to move the goal post or play in someone else's sandbox without an invitation? It's time they take stock and stop walking around like puffed up roosters.

Yeper.

Congress Overreaches

Again?

[upchuck]

IMHO, way back when this was threatened but before the RATS took action, President Bush should have requested 5-10 minutes of air time, explained in simple, plain English terms what was going on and then put the RATS on notice that neither he nor anyone else in his administration would have anything further to say about it.

Cut ‘em off at the pass.

Instead the RATS are getting away with spend hundreds of hours and thousands and thousands of our dollars chasing a ghost.

I know there are those that say this (chasing a ghost) is a good thing as it keeps them out of trouble.

Yes G8, AGAIN!!!! Should we be surprised? Don't even get me started on the raise. Isn't it funny that as soon as the Congress passed the minimum wage hike, the Dem's, patted themselves on the back and said "Since we put our raise on hold last year, we are now deserving of it." Loved the cartoon. The only problem is, there are degrees of Mental illness. Is it fair to generalize?

Remember, dem-o-rats are exempt from rules, law, whatever, as long as it leads to power for them. (welcome to FR!)

Chasing Ghost’s are a good thing? Wow..haven’t heard that one. Right now Congress is not chasing they are spending. Over 300 investigations in this adminstration, thousands of useless hours and an untold amount of money. Yet, they don’t want to listen in to the folks that want to do us harm. Can SOMEONE please tell me what is wrong with this picture!!??

[taxcontrol]

While I understand your feelings, I think it is better to let the Dems have all the rope they need to hang themselves. Let this boil and come to a head .... then cut them off. Shows the Dems to be the petty people they are.

[voicegal]

I must have missed that class! Somehow the inmates are running the asylum, that’s a wee bit scary! If American’s don’t get off their collective asses and voice there concerns on what is happening in Washington with our laws or I should say the lack of, we have no one to blame but ourselves. To much is still on the table.

[G8 Diplomat]

The only problem is, there are degrees of Mental illness. Is it fair to generalize?

Congress most likely has the highest degree of mental illness: "Let's give ourselves a raise, lose the war on terror, raise taxes, kill the unborn, and let illegals become citizens!" I think that qualifies.

[G8 Diplomat]

Oh yeah, I forgot socialized medicine. More evidence.

[voicegal]

“kill the unborn”
I agree G8, the only item in your statement I have a problem with is that. Keep women’s rights out of the government.[except partial birth abortions, that must be not happen]

[darkangel82]

so you think abortion is a “right”...you won’t make many friends with that statement here.

[darkangel82]

haha, zot
