"to do everything I can to see that we work to accomplish things.”

I love "things". Give me more "things!" That's exactly what I voted for, more "things" from Congress.

They won't, NOT IF the (present) GOP/e Ldrs. Class remain in power.
But; IF Ted Cruz et.al....

I don’t see an agenda, other than passing a budget, a budget which may or may not control spending.

Expecting Congress to do anything except line their pockets while in a state of near perpetual vacation is akin to expecting giraffes to become CPAs.

[rigelkentaurus]

what I expect, and what I get are sadly going to be two different things.

I expect Congress to pass straight-forward legislation to repeal deathcare and rollback other gov’t excesses like the EPA, slash all the budgets of gov’t agencies forcing large staff reductions, kill over reaches like shutting down coal plants. Stop all appointments especially to judiciary.

I don’t expect Obola to sign such legislation, but it needs to be passed and put demonicRats on record and show clear differences between GOP and demonicRats.

What I will get is a bunch of wishy washy appeasements and go-along nonsense blurring the differences and continued growth in reach and gov’t.

Looks like we may be giving Mary Landrieu the boot finally. Yep. It was a lovely day in the neighborhood this AM. Mary Landrieu even came to our church Sunday - I was at an earlier service. I wondered if my church walls were still standing. I have been a member for about 20 years now and NEVER have seen her show up. She had to be desparate.

The first order of business should be a budget that cuts spending and is passed as an omnibus bill. Make it stiff enough to have Obama veto it. Make him take responsibility for shutting down the government.

Do not fund Obamacare or any program that grants amnesty.

Do fund building the fence and deporting illegal aliens. Use violent / criminal illegal aliens to make compressed earth blocks manually and build the wall.

Then start the full on investigations of those around Obama. Impeach those that have broken laws (Holder). Do not waste time impeaching Obama. He is on his way out. Go after those that would try and run for office in 2016. Especially go after Senators and Representatives that obviously broke the laws and serve in states that now have Republican Governors.
