We are three months into the Republican Congress.....Why haven't they accomplished anything yet?

[tinydancer]

You should all be embarrassed not to investigate your own government and watch it in action.

For shame I'm looking at many bills that have been introduced and passed.

I knew that some of you weren't up to speed except to be partisan hacks but I thought some of you might know how to track your government.

Well, the stock answer to why Obama hasn't gotten the economy turned around is that it took Bush eight years to fuck it up... so it will take a while.

So, it took Obama 6+ years to create this mess, so it will take more than three months to fix it.

Haven't passed a single piece of legislation

How are they going to fix the "Trainwreck" that is the Obama administration if they don't do anything?

 

[rightwinger]

The Republicans celebrated the demise of Obama

They had turned him into a lame duck President while they now get to call the shots

Meanwhile, Obama has

Extended Immigration Reform
Recognized Cuba
Formed an international accord to dismantle Irans nuclear program



What have Republicans accomplished so far?

[chikenwing]

Republicans promised so much if they were elected

Repeal Obamacare
Pass Keystone Pipeline into law
Balance the budget
Stop immigration reform
Stop gay marriage

Three months and they have accomplished..........um...um

Nothing

Not to mention dealing with all those Constitutional violations they constantly attribute to the President. If Obama has violated the Constitution, why hasn't the Republican controlled Congress done anything about it? What's stopping them?

So the slap downs he has gotten from the courts don't mean a thing right?how did his edicts about immigration work out for him?

I can't believe that they don't know what the government is doing. I consider my provincial and federal conservative reps my employees.

After all we truly are their bosses. I'm always checking up on what's going on. That way I can see waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay in advance if they are going to slip a new tax on us up here and try to head it off.

Welcome to politics 101. Now, really, you honestly didn't think that anything in Washington was going to change, did you? FYI - Washington politics hasn't changed in the past 60 years, so why would you, or anyone, think that it would suddenly change now? A much better question would've been, "when are voters going to wake up and smell the coffee"? Hey, figure this one out, if you can: "Why do voters continuously elect and re-elect professional politicians to serve in government, yet expect a different result each time"? I don't know about you, but to me, it seems that they would've figured out the problem by now and corrected it.

Everyone knows that professional politicians are all about egos, self-service, influence, power, greed, and climbing the political ladder at all cost. Everyone already knows that once elected to office, they exert their will, and not the will of the people. Everyone knows that we have a Lobbyists controlled U.S. Congress, and that our representatives are mere puppets dancing to the tunes played by the wealthy, the powerful, and the influential. Everyone knows that votes on the floors of Congress are bought and sold. Legislation and policy is a commodity, and each has a price for those willing to pay. We also know that by the time they are elected to office, they owe many favors, and they pay back the ones they owe.

Why do you think that we have growing poverty, a lower standard of living, an astronomical and rising national debt, rundown infrastructure, pretend wars where our soldiers are sacrificed for the benefit of corporations and greedy government contractors, cities going bankrupt, the largest prison population in the world, wealth accumulation at the top, economically devastating illegal immigrant issues, a tarnished reputation and lose of respect from our friends and allies, and taxation without fair, equal, and just representation?

Have you noticed Main Street America over the past several decades, and the many changes for the worst? Have you considered our loss of privacy, the power and authority granted to members of law enforcement, the injustices in our judicial system, and the unquestionable power and takeover of this once great nation by "The Washington Brotherhood"?

Hey! Your butthole buddy said we ''haven't passed a single piece of legislation''

Which was a lie. So now you want to move the goalposts after we PROVE that dimocraps are lying scumbags?

Single out a piece of legislation that YOU think needs passed and I'll tell you why scum of the earth dimocraps are fucking up the works.

Or just make sweeping, general lies. It's what you do best

Where is the Lynch vote?
Where is the impeachment of Obama?
Why do I ask so many questions?

[Lonestar_logic]

They have done a lot!

Refused to raise min wage
Refused to become one of the last countries to give women paid maternity leave (we remain one of 4 countries to NOT have this)
Bitched and moaned about obamacare
Conspired with right wingers in Iran to derail peace talks

I am sure there is more.

Name the 192 countries that have paid maternity leave and please link to your source(s).
