I say Republicans! The Boehner/McConnell Republicans have made that clear since President Obama was elected.
I say that you are a fucking idiot. 287 bills are laying on Harry Reids desk. He refuses to bring them to the floor for a vote. YOUR liberal Nazi leaders hold sole responsibility for this gridlock.
So, do you expect Harry Reid to pass all that NaziCon shit that the House sent over? Get real...
Harry Reid doesn't "pass" anything you dumbass. It is HIS JOB to bring those bills to the floor of the Senate for a vote however. THAT IS WHAT WE SEND THEM THERE FOR you twit.
Doesn't matter. Harry "Howdy Doody" Reid will be the new "Cloak Room Monitor" after the Midterms and America will FINALLY get back to work.
Sure, Randy, sure...
Which political party is primarily causing GRIDLOCK in Washington?
Goodbye to All That: Reflections of a GOP Operative Who Left the Cult
By Mike Lofgren
Mike Lofgren is a former congressional staff member who served on both the House and Senate budget committees for 30 years.
But both parties are not rotten in quite the same way. The Democrats have their share of machine politicians, careerists, corporate bagmen, egomaniacs and kooks. Nothing, however, quite matches the modern GOP.
To those millions of Americans who have finally begun paying attention to politics and watched with exasperation the tragicomedy of the debt ceiling extension, it may have come as a shock that the Republican Party is so full of lunatics. To be sure, the party, like any political party on earth, has always had its share of crackpots, like Robert K. Dornan or William E. Dannemeyer. But the crackpot outliers of two decades ago have become the vital center today: Steve King, Michele Bachman (now a leading presidential candidate as well), Paul Broun, Patrick McHenry, Virginia Foxx, Louie Gohmert, Allen West. The Congressional directory now reads like a casebook of lunacy.
It was this cast of characters and the pernicious ideas they represent that impelled me to end a nearly 30-year career as a professional staff member on Capitol Hill. A couple of months ago, I retired; but I could see as early as last November that the Republican Party would use the debt limit vote, an otherwise routine legislative procedure that has been used 87 times since the end of World War II, in order to concoct an entirely artificial fiscal crisis. Then, they would use that fiscal crisis to get what they wanted, by literally holding the US and global economies as hostages.
The debt ceiling extension is not the only example of this sort of political terrorism....

More Nazi propaganda.
You should be an expert on Nazi propaganda.
Well what's 'appropriate' to you, may not be to me. Government is out of control. We need more Gridlock. In fact, i'd even say Congress should go home and stay home most of the time. They should meet very sparingly. Just a couple times a year. The less they meet, the less damage they can do.

Sure sounds like a HIT PIECE on Tea Party Conservatives by a RINO OPERATIVE.... but that's PROBABLY why it was done!

Yeah, Vaginalante, facts and truth are like sunlight to vampires.
Keeping the governor hooked up on DC isn't all bad,yes too much gridlock is bad,so somewhere in the middle is we we need to be. From the results of the last mid terms and last election,the people have asked for a measure of it anyways.Well what's 'appropriate' to you, may not be to me. Government is out of control. We need more Gridlock. In fact, i'd even say Congress should go home and stay home most of the time. They should meet very sparingly. Just a couple times a year. The less they meet, the less damage they can do.
Whatever helps you sleep at night, Brother... I'm going to disagree.
In my humble opinion 'gridlock' is not only not an answer, it's dangerous.
Gridlock actively benefits the already pampered investment class. Instead of celebrating the accomplishment of nothing, we should be calling for active collaboration on activities such as rewriting the complicated tax code that makes us look so fucking stupid from space that nobody visits.

My opinion:
The House GOP have shown to be a pain in the ass because I do understand passing a bill to defund the ACA is the House goal, but how many times can pass a bill, and be told no by the Senate?
Then you have Harry Reid refusing to take up the discussion on bills, and if it were me I would put it to the floor and let the Senate vote, and if it passed then send it off to the Oval Office, and let the President Veto it because I know the Senate will not have enough votes to override his veto.
So in the end it is both sides, and I am a Democrat writing this.

Again. Harry Reid was told the day Barry began his reign that "Nothing was to pass the Senate" and it hasn't. Reid has been Barry's "enforcer" for these last 6 years. Soon, very soon, he will be history.

Good point. But i feel Congress should go home and stay home most of the time. They should only meet sparingly.[/B' Government is doing too much. It's time to scale it back. They should just go home for awhile. It's about damage control at this point. I'm good with Gridlock.
I would almost take another dose of Obama to see Reid retired.My opinion:

Yeah, Reid's a corrupt piece of shit. Hopefully he will be gone soon.

There is an old saying ,the solution to pollution is dilution. More time at home sure would help with the disconnect that seems to form almost over night. Its like the invasion of the body snatchers.Well what's 'appropriate' to you, may not be to me. Government is out of control. We need more Gridlock.

The going home and staying home part I agree with. Congresscritters should be able to address whatever business they need to conduct in D.C. via technology, maybe meeting once or twice a year.
If that were to happen, pretty much all of the lawyers on 'K' Street would close their lobby shops and all the corporate and foreign users of their services would need to visit a LOT more states to buy more than one politician.
Yes... I like that idea. Kudos!

Couple of weeks. Again, I've made this challenge over and over and not once = NOT ONCE = have one of you assholes taken my challenge. If The Republicans do NOT take the Congress - I will leave here forever. If they Do - YOU leave here and never return. Well Big Shot? You want a shot at the title?

I like how you play ball, RF!
I've bet these wimps about 20 times on various stuff too......have been willing to lose a big chunk of money....but they run for the exits.
Keep tellin it like it is Randall.
Of course you would state that. Thread should be closed.I say Republicans! The Boehner/McConnell Republicans have made that clear since President Obama was elected.
