..."Congress doesn't have much to show for it's year of work"...Oh yeah, you dumb-fuck sonofabitch? What have YOU done lately?

He's whining about an imaginery tax hike...and how much it costs per day...conveniently forgetting how much his illegal war is costing PER HOUR....

This fucking moran is at 25% yet he is trying to bully congress into giving him what he wants...When are we going to get Dem leaders that will stand up and smack this Connecticut Cowboy in the mouth?

4. Looking back at the past 6 years of the Bush league lapdog GOP congress...
I would say that inaction is a very good thing.

This is the little game they've been playing since January: Congressional Republicans roadblock at every turn and Junior vetoes whatever happens to make it past their obstructionist gauntlet. Then they blame the slim Democratic majority for not getting anything done.

How transparent.

6. I much prefer a do-nothing, gridlocked congress. i hate when they do ANYTHING,
On either side. Of course, junior's left quite a mess to clean up so I guess we'll need to do some things once we sweep in 2008.

5. How can anyone not vomit while watching him?
He is really the most loathsome asshole on the planet right now. I thought his dad had a thin skin and could whine. He has nothing on his spawn.

7. What has dumbfuck done lately
Let me tell you, trashing a perfectly good constitution that had held up for 220 years is a pretty mean feat. Even better than trashing daddy's house on a drunken weekend.

Democratic-Led Congress Breaks Record For Highest Number Of Roll Call Votes In History

Conservatives have repeatedly criticized the Democratic-led Congress for not passing enough legislation. “I don’t think they’ve gotten anything done,” House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) said in March. In July, he added that “Congressional Democrats” have “failed to deliver on any of their promises and have almost no accomplishments of which to speak.”

But a new Politico analysis finds that this 110th Congress has had more roll call votes this year than any other Congress in history, almost doubling the number under the previous Congress overseen by Boehner and House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL):

<snip> more info at link

Much of the lack of progress can be traced back to obstructionism by conservatives. Approximately “1 in 6 roll-call votes in the Senate this year have been cloture votes,” noted a July McClatchy report. “If this pace of blocking legislation continues, this 110th Congress will be on track to roughly triple the previous record number of cloture votes.”

It’s interesting that Boehner is criticizing the 110th Congress as doing nothing. After all, the House, under his leadership, met for just 101 days during the second session of the 109th Congress, setting the record “for the fewest days in session in one year since the end of World War II.”

on edit: Or maybe it is just the coke talking again :evilgrin:
