Now We Can Get Congress Going

Americans have entrusted Republicans with control of both the House and Senate. We are humbled by this opportunity to help struggling middle-class Americans who are clearly frustrated by an increasing lack of opportunity, the stagnation of wages, and a government that seems incapable of performing even basic tasks.

Looking ahead to the next Congress, we will honor the voters’ trust by focusing, first, on jobs and the economy. Among other things, that means a renewed effort to debate and vote on the many bills that passed the Republican-led House in recent years with bipartisan support, but were never even brought to a vote by the Democratic Senate majority. It also means renewing our commitment to repeal ObamaCare, which is hurting the job market along with Americans’ health care.

For years, the House did its job and produced a steady stream of bills that would remove barriers to job creation and lower energy costs for families. Many passed with bipartisan support—only to gather dust in a Democratic-controlled Senate that kept them from ever reaching the president’s desk. Senate Republicans also offered legislation that was denied consideration despite bipartisan support and benefits for American families and jobs.

These bills provide an obvious and potentially bipartisan starting point for the new Congress—and, for President Obama , a chance to begin the final years of his presidency by taking some steps toward a stronger economy.

These bills include measures authorizing the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, which will mean lower energy costs for families and more jobs for American workers; the Hire More Heroes Act, legislation encouraging employers to hire more of our nation’s veterans; and a proposal to restore the traditional 40-hour definition of full-time employment, removing an arbitrary and destructive government barrier to more hours and better pay...

This “document” is a GOPe piece of cra*. There is no mention of impeachment.

The first order of business should be to send Obama a bill that ties repeal of Obamacare to government funding. Obama will cave after a week of government shutdown (It was working last year until McConnell and the GOPe stabbed Ted Cruz in the back).

After Obamacare is repealed, then draft Articles of Impeachment, hold a trial, and send him packing.

Then watch Ted clean Biden’s clock in 2016!

Yep, the new Congress takes office on January 3rd.

Until then, Obama will do things with Harry Reid such as forcing through a new radical attorney general confirmation through the lame duck session of the Senate.

Remember the Democrats repealed don’t ask don’t tell for the military in the lame duck session in late 2010. They will take some other radical actions in this lame duck session too. Having nothing to lose, they will do something liberals would love on their way out the door.

We need new heads at the helm with new strategies. You can’t follow parked cars and these two are out of gas and have flat tires.
