have any of these farks read the constitution?
 
2011-03-30 12:27:01 PM
That is not how it works.
 
2011-03-30 12:27:38 PM
Also, wouldn't this bill have to pass the Senate? How dumb are these guys?

It's so wrong there's not even a word for how wrong they are.

And be signed by the President.

How dumb are these guys?

Dumb as a four pound box of dumb.

So does this go before or after "Defund Obama's teleprompter" in stupidity?

FTA: the American people want us to fight to cut spending so we can remove the uncertainty facing job creators

The GOP plan will kill 700,000 jobs, so I kind of see his point.

I'd love to see some Constitution-loving Republicans explain this one.

The bill, which Republicans calls the "I'm Rubber You're Glue Act"...

If it hits the senate they should switch it so if the house does nothing it passes and send it back to them.

Boehner is a pathological liar, but this one is easily his biggest, most obvious lie to date.

Don't look at me. This idea is farking stupid AND unconstitutional.
 
2011-03-30 02:44:39 PM
Is it me or was that article trying to paint that bill in the best possible light?
 
2011-03-30 02:45:29 PM
I'm very sure that the Senate leaders will look at this, say "aww, that's adorable" and table it until Haiti wins an Ice Hockey Gold Medal in the Olympics.

Doesn't Boehner have some poor poor woman's uterus to fret about?
 
2011-03-30 02:58:26 PM
Didn't the Republicans promise to review the Constitutionality of every law they voted on? That was this election, right?
 
2011-03-30 03:03:37 PM
Oh please oh please massa Boehner don't pass this law!

I love watching how long it takes the Derp Brigade to get into a thread like this. You can tell how hard it is for them to find their spin/marching orders by how long it takes them to show up.

Oh Boehner, how long does it take you to scrub the last remnants of your corporate masters' baby-batter off of your glowing orange skin every night, you day-glo little Sub you?

Hey, you've got to give them time for a break once in a while. They spend all morning filling the queue with "Obama is just as bad as Bush/Hitler/Mao/Stalin/Cobra Commander/Sauron" headlines after getting their daily talking points sent to them first thing. Then they have a two hour nap-time, then they get sent their responses as soon as they have finished all of their crackers and juice.

Not just review, but actually cite the Constitutional authority for every bill.

Nah, those are reserved for their REMF masters. We're talking about the front-line shills down here. The ones who take all the abuse we heap on them day after day, thread after thread. You know, the Core group.

Yeah you're right... just the Oxys.

We have two chambers for a reason, jackass and it ain't because the Founders were bicameral-curious.

These must be the same people who want to give the Senate back to the people by repealing the amendment to the Constitution which allows for direct election of Senators by the people.

That's right. I forgot about that part. FSM on a pogo stick.

Could you *possibly* have been bait-and-switched any worse, swing voters?

They love me. I just keep walking into doors.

No whining that subby spelled it "consitution" in the headline?

Wow, fark spelling nazis disappoint.

Fishy much?
 
2011-03-30 04:51:20 PM
Remember folks. When the GOP took the House, they took the power of the purse. They can dictate a balanced budget this year if they want, just by refusing to pass anything else.
 
2011-03-30 04:52:16 PM
So what did they cite as the constitutional justification for this law, or did they stop bothering to do that?
 
2011-03-30 04:52:26 PM
The Constitution does not work that way!!!!

This and wasn't this how regulation for deep water oil was setup? well we submit it and if you don't say anything it passes, meanwhile we republicans are going to defund the regulators so they don't have time to say anything...

the well if you don't deny it you dealt it clause...

Was the onus remarkable?
 
2011-03-30 04:56:36 PM
Oh holy jumping Jehoshaphat. Are you Congressional farkers really serious?

Keep this up, you douchecanoes. You'll have every Republican other than the 23%ers voting for the Black guy in 2012.

I'm already close to it.

They can change. If we show them we love them and just give them some time, we can change them and we'll live happily ever after.

House Republicans want politicians to follow the constitution now? When did that happen?
