McCain's history: make sure all of Obama's nominees are confirmed and then he says "leave issues up to the courts."

Convenient!

The courts can’t challenge Congress’s power of the purse, so they are just one avenue for telling Obama ‘no’.

Ah, the new GOPe meme. The last time we left Congress’ job to the courts, we got ObamaCare.

Yeah, leave it to the courts because you refuse to fulfill your responsibilities and duties as a legislator. What if the court doesn’t rule your way? Oh, well, you “tried”. Violations of Constitutional authority be damned.

McCain's got other more important things to do. Like starting WWIII.

And if it isn’t “the courts” leave it to the bureaucracy. Anything to not do your job.

Gutless bastards all of them. Nobody to stand up for America anymore. Just a bunch of’”Let George do it,” morons prostituting themselves to the highest bidder. FED UP WITH ALL OF THEM!

The country seems yo asking if Obama loves America, I wonder if our politicians love America more than their positions.

We were told that the courts would fix Mcain/Fingold. We were told that the court would kill Obamney Care. So let’s try it again? That is that the liberals do; keep doing the things that didn’t work in the past.

Ted Cruz filibusters a bill and the media screams from the hilltops that Republicans are to blame for shutting down the government.

Demonrats filibuster a bill and the media screams from the hilltops that Republicans are going to shut down government again.

Isn’t it time to tell the media to STFU with their biased talking points?
