Don’t these people ever stop?

Am I going to have to buy a commuter book of train tickets to Washington DC so I can spend time each week in front of the Capitol Building?

[Envisioning]

They can have my vegetables when they pry them from my cold dead hands!

Like previously mentioned, why do we let people who have been fired back on the job? This makes no sense.

Self reliance ping!

Monsanto says it has no interest in the bill and would not benefit from it, but Monsanto’s Michael Taylor who gave us rBGH (recombinant bovine growth hormone) and unregulated genetically modified (GM) organisms, appears to have designed it and is waiting as an appointed Food Czar to the FDA (a position unapproved by Congress) to administer the agency it would create — without judicial review — if it passes.  S 510 would give Monsanto unlimited power over all US seed, food supplements, food and farming.

I think we were all expecting some Sneaky Pete crap from the ‘Rats before Jan 1.

So far, no card check, no amnesty (just Zer0 talking with some Hispanic “leaders” and Dingy Harry making some noise),
and no climate bills.

No Bush tax cut resolution either.

To me, the food bill was the limit. “El colmo” if you know some Spanish lingo.

Good test for McConnell...this ought to let us know if he has the backbone for the job.

[who knows what evil?]

...and people actually vote FOR these control freaks..?

[listenhillary]

I don’t think we’re allowed to criticize priggish moralists on FR. Looks like a very good book though.

[Scanian]

Really?

No influence from ADM?

[ctdonath2]

That’s what I was just wondering. WTH?

[ctdonath2]

The alternative is voting for even bigger control freaks.

At the beginning of October, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) announced that he had sidetracked Senate Bill 510.  The very next day, Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) announced that he would bring the bill up during the lame duck session because he had the votes to pass it.

el colmo - the height

[Scanian]

We need to jam the lines and raise hell about this, like TODAY!!

Let’s get Limbaugh and Beck on the the case...they ought to be hot to trot about something like this.

[hadaclueonce]

We sent the Memo on 11/2, apparently they did not read it.

[Scanian]

And commonly used to mean “the straw that broke the camel’s back” and this thng really is for some of us.

[Envisioning]

LoL!

[Little Ray]

They’re thinking “Conagra” and “Archer Daniel Midlands” wants me to vote for this bill, I’m afraid.

[dennisw]

More crap.....thanks for the ping

This guy with his family has built a wood chip powered truck. An alcohol still and made his own ammunition. Bought some goats too.

Quinn just said that they are going to attach the earmark moratorium to this Food Safety bill.

So if Republicans vote against the bill, they will be accused of hypocrisy on the earmarks thing.

[Scanian]

I presume this has yet to go to the House?
