RE: The house and senate, especially the Republican side ought to just go home, kick back with a shot and a beer and watch a little TV. They are hopelessly out classed in the governing department.

They don’t have the numbers to override the Veto pen. What other solution is there?

Unfortunately, it is probably time for the Canadians to stop wasting money on the US effort and build the pipeline to their East Coast or West Coast as necessary and sell to a World that doesn’t have the US in the way.

Once there was a democrat who only had the HOR against a GOP Senate filled with blue dogs dems and a popular President with the people. For six years he had this disadvantage but basically either nuked what he did not like or drove a wedge against the two opposing bodies to get some things he desired. He got his way/stopped his opposition by shutting down the government at least 8 times during this six year period.

There is your answer.

Dems will always stick together for the most part and you never hear of working with the other side , but then again after how childish they acted over Bibi then who is surprised.

this is beyond ridiculous

I still would've been furious about yesterday's pro-invasion vote, as I don't think the US can survive a country we'll recognize with the number of unassimilated people in the US. But you know what? They could've at the very least made a deal....get enough Senators to over-ride the Keystone vote, and the HOR would deliver the votes for funding DHS and the invasion of the US, until September.

It would still be awful, but not so ludicrous it must be a bad dream.

I know .. but they have a DNC person who can pull the rug out from under them if they don’t tow the line.

Rarely, but sometimes .. for some issues .. I wish we had someone who would do that.

Demodummies will take the side of odumbo 99.9% of the time. Rinos will support them.

I am DONE with the Republican party completely. We definitely need some new group to replace the Republicans completely, and I mean an entire purge. It needs to start by replacing Bone Head Bohner and the Kentuckian McDonnell.

If there’s no benefit to the party, the Democrat party then all Democrats will vote lockstep how the party dictates them to vote. Obviously no Democrat found their constituency of greater value than the party.

States need to get together and secede and withhold any and all tax payment to the federal. Period. Let them try and start a war. I am hard pressed to see liberals willing to be drafted in Obama’s war on poverty.

“Disolve Congress they are no longer needed.”

You’re wrong. This sham Congress provides useful cover for the change now underway.

They will be dismissed once the change is finished.

There was no battle here. No subtantive engagement by McConnell to flip a few more D Senators to get this bill passed.

The beltway GOP leadership and nearly all the caucus are going through the legislative motions. They’ve surrendered and checked out until 2016.
