GOP 'squabbles' may lead to early adjournment, 'punting' of spending bills

RAW STORY
Published: Monday November 27, 2006

Republican "squabbles" may result in an early adjournment of Congress,
with spending bills "punted" to Democrats, according to a Capitol Hill
newspaper.

"A squabble among Republicans over spending bills makes it increasingly
likely that the House will finish its business by the end of next week,
with the Senate shutting down operations soon after," Emily Pierce
reports for Roll Call.

"Given that GOP conservatives have prevented their colleagues on the House
and Senate Appropriations panels from moving forward with plans to pass
the nine remaining spending bills as an omnibus package, Republicans
leaders are now expected to punt the issue to next year’s Democratic-led
Congress rather than take the time to piece together major spending
legislation," the article continues.

1. The GOP Will Soon Come Together On One Thing They Can Agree On

Impeaching and convicting Bush & Cheney. Keep your eyes open - it'll be swift and brutal.

2. Yep. They have to do SOMETHING by the '08 election...

IIRC it's called "Mutiny".

4. Since when do they actually do what they "have to do"?

They're utterly paralyzed.

[elehhhhna]

5. But so many will come up for reelection...

Bush is toxic as the plague and everybody knows it. Even his minions.

3. THE 'DO NOTHING' congress maintains their brilliant and stellar record...........

I hope the GOP backers don't forget the 'great accomplishments' of the 109th congress when the 2008 elections are upon THEM.
