Just. Farking. Beautiful.

So much for transparency. Heckuva job there, Nancy.

Holy shiat cakes batman.

Before we were just lubing up and bending over.

Now we lose the lube!

♪ if there's a new way ♪ I'll be the first in line ♪ It better work this time ♪

Two words, Darth Pelosi.

Dancin_In_Anson: Just. Farking. Beautiful.

So much for transparency. Heckuva job there, Nancy.

You're aware that it's not Nancy's job to be transparant, and that the Senate and House are both composed of Republicans AND Democrats?

absoluteparanoia: and that the Senate and House are both composed of Republicans AND Democrats?

Factions. George Washington warned us about this shiat. You still want to side with one of these factions? I'm ready for some pitchfork and torch action.

GaryPDX: Two words, Darth Pelosi.

The Democrats add a trillion (as pushed by the President) to the the debt...

Republicans add 2 trillion (as pushed by the President) to the debt...

and you single out Pelosi?

wtf are you smoking Gary????

FTA: "The deadline for approving appropriations bills is the same each year, September 30, and if the Democrats had done their job over the past nine months, this legislation could have been deliberately considered, reviewed, and publicized. Democrats took over Congress promising greater transparency; this is completely contrary to that claim."

Wow, sounds like this guy could be a Fark Independent™.

GaryPDX: Factions. George Washington warned us about this shiat. You still want to side with one of these factions? I'm ready for some pitchfork and torch action.

Oh do shutup you closeted (with the door WIDE open) neocon...

40yoVirgin: wtf are you smoking Gary????

It's all those evil Dems fault. If there weren't any Dems around, everything would be all happy and good and nothing would ever, ever go wrong. Just ask Gary or any other of the Fark Independents^TM.

You're calling me a neocon? hahahaha. I guess if I don't suck Obama's dick, I'm a neocon.

It's both factions playing us. And yes, that makes me Independent.

Democrats aim to open the next Congress in January with a new rule that identifies lawmakers who use legislative "earmarks" to help special interests

40yoVirgin: Republicans add 2 trillion (as pushed by the President) to the debt...

Well, that makes it OK!

GaryPDX: You're calling me a neocon? hahahaha. I guess if I don't suck Obama's dick, I'm a neocon.

Nothing to do with Obama's dick, everything to do with your lockstep following of neocon talking points. Face it, you outed yourself with your own comments.

Dancin_In_Anson: Well, that makes it OK!

Not really my point there, but if you'd like to assume that's what I meant, have at it.

40yoVirgin: GaryPDX: You're calling me a neocon? hahahaha. I guess if I don't suck Obama's dick, I'm a neocon.

Nothing to do with Obama's dick, everything to do with your lockstep following of neocon talking points. Face it, you outed yourself with your own comments.

What are you talking about? I'm against this bailout.

Dancin_In_Anson: Democrats aim to open the next Congress in January with a new rule that identifies lawmakers who use legislative "earmarks" to help special interests

Is it January yet?

40yoVirgin: Not really my point there

So why even bother?

GaryPDX: What are you talking about? I'm against this bailout.

And the Democrats are all for it! I guess they're wanting to get up to the neocon's approval ratings.

And now to take a position I never thought possible:

Leave DIA and Gary alone here, folks. They've not said a damn thing yet that isn't 100% on-point and accurate. Give 'em shiat when it's due.

/brb, long hot shower and tears.

SpeshilEdjukashin: 1.6 trillion dollars? 1.6 TRILLION DOLLARS?!

/And they said the Republicans were bad...

Keeping in mind that this will run the federal government until march... (6 months), that's about right, given the estimated 3.5 trillion dollar annual budget...

40yoVirgin: wtf are you smoking Gary????

republican cock.

absoluteparanoia: Is it January yet?

Why wait? If it is that important (remember the promises in 2006?) why wait? The time is NOW...not January.

Dancin_In_Anson: absoluteparanoia: Is it January yet?

Why wait? If it is that important (remember the promises in 2006?) why wait? The time is NOW...not January.

I think they can only do rule changes at a "changeover" of Congress (ie: This rule shall take effect with the next Congress)

Occam's Chainsaw: And now to take a position I never thought possible:

*Blink*

Respect level +10.

Dancin_In_Anson: remember the promises in 2006?

I recall a promise in 2000 that Bush would restore "honor and integrity" to the White House.

He has nearly 8 years to work on that one.

40yoVirgin: Nothing to do with Obama's dick, everything to do with your lockstep following of neocon talking points. Face it, you outed yourself with your own comments.

You must be new here. GaryPDX is a conservative, not a neoconservative, not a Republican. He's a true conservative. Take a picture, they're an endangered species.

40yoVirgin: I recall a promise in 2000 that Bush would restore "honor and integrity" to the White House.

He has nearly 8 years to work on that one.

You must be assuming that just because DIA and GaryPDX biatch and complain about Democrats, that automatically makes them Bushb0t Republicans.

How sad.

I think we need to face facts: Washington really is broken right now, and it has been for a lot longer than just 21 months ago. We need well planned, fundamental changes.

And the first one on my list is reform of the congressional committee system. Personally, I'd love to see them do away with the "chairman has to be from the majority party" rule.

Secondly, we need a bill passed, signed into law and acted on (ASAP) that ties the budget directly to the expected revenue, and states that any yearly deficit has to be made up the following year, in total. Now, for all you "deficit spenders," you don't have to worry about paying down our outstanding debt if you don't want to, but you will not add to it. And for all you "pay down the deficit" folks, if you can do it, have at it; but you should at least be happy that no one is able to add to it.

KaponoFor3: You must be assuming that just because DIA and GaryPDX biatch and complain about Democrats, that automatically makes them Bushb0t Republicans.

I have been on record many many times about how I can't stand how Bush (and the post 2000 Republicans) blew it with the wild assed spending AND I am completely against the bailout.

Can I has guillotine?

benlonghair: Can I has guillotine?

We let the elections run their course, and give the next guy a fighting chance. No dice? Then we set loose the wolves.

Occam's Chainsaw: We let the elections run their course, and give the next guy a fighting chance. No dice? Then we set loose the wolves.

I'm fine with that. The problem is, no matter who wins it'll be the same bullshiat. It'll be support my cronies, keep the status quo and make sure that workers can't get ahead.

1) It's not 1.6 trillion dollars worth of earmarks. Earmarks were in a 1.6 trillion spending bill.
2) Typically, earmark spending is less than 1% of government expenditures, so all this biatching about earmark spending is pretty stupid.

benlonghair: I'm fine with that. The problem is, no matter who wins it'll be the same bullshiat. It'll be support my cronies, keep the status quo and make sure that workers can't get ahead.

We'll see. We should still give the next guy a chance before we give up on the republic altogether.

Occam's Chainsaw: We'll see. We should still give the next guy a chance before we give up on the republic altogether.

I'm not talking about giving up on the republic, i'm talking about putting the iron bakc in the forge and beating it back into shape.

Occam's Chainsaw: They've not said a damn thing yet that isn't 100% on-point and accurate.

GaryPDX: Two words, Darth Pelosi.

Yes, defend a complete farking tool.

Well done.

This country is about to fall apart, and it's not because one party or the other messed up... it's because the average citizen; Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative --- is magnificently ignorant.

40yoVirgin: GaryPDX: You're calling me a neocon? hahahaha. I guess if I don't suck Obama's dick, I'm a neocon.

Nothing to do with Obama's dick, everything to do with your lockstep following of neocon talking points. Face it, you outed yourself with your own comments.

Since when the neo-cons worry about spending, shiat for brains?

savage henry: Yes, defend a complete farking tool.

Well done.

Kindly explain to me how Pelosi shares no burden for allowing $1t in budget proposals to pass the House, considering she's the Speaker? Especially in a time when we're talking about assuming hundreds of billions in public debt.

Looks like Biden added $51.5 million all by himself.

You're skipping the six-year-old style insult and finding information in that two word posting?

This is bad news ... for America.

Now where is my local gun shop.... I just want to browse... Any NRA members in here got any tips?

Why do politicians get away with this?

Because they know there are idiots who will spend more time defending a political party than criticizing what they did.

Go Team!

You can put lipstick on DIA and PDX but they will still be pigs.

Hint: Earmarks are often what pay for local roads and education.

This is a bill that HAS to be passed in order for government to continue functioning. They pass a bill like this EVERY quarter. Unbunching of panties would be appreciated.

Wisconsin: Our guys actually care about people (now).
