“Meaningless with a President who will veto, but the Congress will not do what he must to fight back.”
It is not meaningless to pass the legislation and force the President to veto it. Make him cast veto everyday and scream to the high heavens about him being the obstructionist president. Force his Democrat allies in Congress to have a voting record on which to run. Make them vote against their constituents.
To do nothing is pathetic, negligent, and foolish. It also represents acquiescence to tyranny.
There’s no funding allotted to to Southwest Mississippi A&M for research on homosexual mating habits of the lesser wood slug. That would have been on page 178. Page 193 would have had a new turn lane in Sedalia, Colorado.
I wholeheartedly agree, but when the Republicans pass a bill that they know they will not fully defend with all of their resources, it creates the idea that Obama is invincible, or that the Republicans are powerless.
Don’t fight unless you plan to win.
Th Republicans refuse to use all of the powers granted to them in the Constitution and never explain why, so I conclude that they are in agreement with the policy, but wish to be seen as an opposition.
Which is worse?
We know them by their actions when they do act, and by their inaction when they sit silently.
Vetoed.
Next.
I’m pretty sick of this crap. Etch-a-sketch would do the same thing, but it would have been done with full support of the Republicans.
“Yep...and Mitt Romney would be doing the exact same thing...right?”
I did hold my nose and vote for Romney. The truth is he would be enacting most of the Obama agenda, just as the Republican Congress under John Boehner and Mitch McConnell is doing today.
I’m not sure where Romney stands on net neutrality. What I do know is that Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi seem to call the shots on the legislative agenda whether or not their party has a majority of votes. Is there any difference in how Congress behaves with the Senate under the control of Mitch McConnell than it was under Reid? When Boehner took over the speakership in 2011 did he thwart Nancy Pelosi or simply allow the Democrat agenda to pass?
Would President Romney, the architect of Romneycare in Massachusetts really have sent legislation to Congress outlawing Obamacare? Would President Romney be fighting amnesty or joining with John McCain to support legalization and a pathway to citizenship. On net neutrality where would Romney be if the Democrats were demanding it and entrenched media companies with big campaign donations were supporting it? Romney supported stiff gun control measures as a governor. Would he really change as President?
Even though I voted for Romney as not as bad as Obama, I was under no illusion he would even give lip service to conservative principles or issues. There is no evidence in his past of doing so. When evaluating politicians I look at their behavior, I don’t depend on the words they mouth when running for election. Mitt Romney is a liberal from Massachusetts. He has more in common with the professors on the Harvard campus than he does with any average citizen in a red state. Romney would enact the agenda of Wall Street bankers, multinational corporations, Ivy League academics and social liberals. If the CEO’s of Comcast, Time Warner, and Google told him net neutrality was a good thing he’d support it in a heartbeat.
I’m pretty sick of this crap. Etch-a-sketch would do the same thing, but it would have been done with full support of the Republicans.
And I’m pretty sick of the A$$hats that stayed home in 2012 bitching about what Obama’s doing!
And please spare us the bullshite that Romney would be doing the exact same thing. The idiots who stayed home are desperately trying to justify their unconscionable actions.
Is that you, Jeb?
Is that you, Jeb?

Nope; it’s an American who tried to stop a known Marxist from having another four years to finish their “fundamental transformation” (aka: destruction) of America.
I voted for Etch a Sketch, but I’m not voting for the GOP anymore. You enjoying your GOP legislature? Wait, wait, I guess all we need is the presidency then? I thought just having 1/2 of 1/3 of the government was the problem. Now they have all of 1/3 of the government, and who appointed all these judges anyway?
Nope, you’re just flat wrong, and frankly, the reason the GOP is able to keep running over us.
I wrote my congress woman, a Boehner stooge, and told her to come on home.
Sort of like the DHS funding bill? The Majority leader in the Senate; Harry Reid, will not allow it so it will go no where and the Republicans will look like fools again. I am beginning to think the Dems wanted to lose the Senate so they could expose the weakness of the Republican party!
If enough people quit paying taxes we could defend them.
Well good; at least you did the right thing in 2012 by doing your part in helping to remove our Marxist president. I frankly believe it’s too late now. We had a chance to remove him in 2012, and we blew it.
I held my nose in 2012 as well; Romney was my last choice. But I can wake up each day and know I did the right thing. Those who stayed home in 2012 helped Obama secure a second term. They are not patriots; they are selfish, immature children who saw Mitt Romney as a bigger threat than our Marxist thug president. They have NO right to bitch about what Obama’s doing!
Thanks again for doing the right thing in 2012.
Send him something to Vero everyday. Hopefully the next dem candidate will have support it or not.
Congress needs a to take back their right to legislate. These agencies don’t have any rights in the constitution, they are supposed to carry out the laws as written.
If the stupid party shoves another squish like Dole, McCain, Bush or Romney into the race the same people will stay home again. A big government republicrat is actually worse than a democrat.
We see right now just how useful republicans are - useless.
So you're saying, along with all those who stayed home, Romney would have been worse than 0bama?
He may not be the ideal conservative, but he would not be trying to destroy our country!!!
I am from the government, I am here to help...
And that great GOPe victory of a few months ago was a nation saver, wasn`t it? Take your stinking party and F-off, the both of you!
