The Democrat Senate and House are threatening to postpone any controversial votes until after this November's elections, during the lame-duck session before their replacements are sworn in in January.

Question: How can we Americans prevent the Democrat-congrolled Senate and House from conducting these votes? Can we prevent them from returning to session, so they can't hold the votes?

Nothing short of martial law and a lockdown, and even that is iffy. Those that are voted out have nothing to lose between November and January, so they can vote their true, socialist beliefs, and our President will sign them into law.

Elections had consequences; making a statement against RINOs put us in the position we find ourselves today.

The leftists do seem to be afraid of the TeaPartiers. But, I’m guessing the TeaParty folks won’t be willing to camp out on the steps during the winter months.

Short of armed insurrection? They don't really seem to let the law stop them from doing whatever they want.

Short of martial law, nothing. The truth is that you really wouldn’t want it any other way. If there were, it could be used against a congress you approved of as easily as it could be used against a congress that you don’t like.

What can prevent Congress from meeting?

Irate armed citizens equipped with a stout length of hemp rope with a notion to convert congress critters into wind chimes.

Hookers, booze, and pizza are the only sure roadblock.

Can't.

No.

Here are some possibilities:

1. A good beating.
2. Spray urushiol (the “active ingredient” in poison ivy) into the Senate and House chambers.
3. Spray the excrement of actual elephants and donkeys into the chambers.
4. Inject members of Congress with ketamine to induce comas until after January.
5. Put them into comas by showing them pictures of Nazi Pelosi BEFORE she puts on makeup.
6. Give them IQ tests. It’ll be January 2011 before they get past the 3rd question.
7. Put them into comas by showing them pictures of George Soros before HE puts on makeup.
8. Go up to them and tell them you believe in them. They will drop dead from disbelief.
9. Put them in round rooms and tell them to pee in the corner. It’ll be January before they figure it out!
10. Tell them the 16th and 17th Amendments are being repealed, and watch them have nervous breakdowns.
