Election-year fears slow Senate work to a halt

It's like an echo. Every single person who speaks or gave a speech, and every government mayor, governor, government worker who speaks or gave a speech, are saying the exact same thing. Don't they have thoughts of their own? Can't they think for themselves? It certainly doesn't look that way. I'm surprised the women are being bamboozled so badly. It's shocking. Oh, and I love the way Debbie Wasserman-Schultz got caught in another lie and then lied about it... ...

In a long lifetime, I've never seen such a sorry slate of candidates on both sides. It's embarrassing to think the world is watching this farce. ...

Ten GOP Senators crossing the aisle to support civil rights is a lot these days. Of the 32 who voted against, through the entire process in the past days only one stood up to say why. No grandstanding for the electorate on this one. Speaker of the House Boehner, still in thrall to the deep red wing of his party promises to stop it in the House., although he has enough votes to pass it. “Anyone who is a student of history knows that our history books are littered with those pu ...

I thought is was bad when they changed the voting age to 18 because I don't think most 18-year-olds have a very good grasp of history and politics at that age, but on the Washington Journal this morning, a 17-year-old called in and stated she is registered to vote and will be voting in Nov. What next? Where will it stop? ...

"The last of the Reaganites: If Mitt Romney is elected, he will be the fourth Republican president in the Reagan regime. That regime is no longer in its glory days. Demographic shifts have weakened the Republican electoral coalition, while Republican politicians have grown increasingly radical and ideological." Why the GOP Should Fear a Romney Presidency By Jack M. Balkin (The Atlantic) At best, he would be hamstrung by the conflicting demands of a radicalized party. At wor ...

I am sick of you always thinking you are right. You posted down farther where I posted my reply to your irrational fears post that I was associating the picture with the fear. Not so. It was a horrible time then. Kids were all afraid we were going to be nuked and from Russia. This had nothing to do with a picture lady, but real fear. So stop thinking you are the all authority on this board. I have lived probably a lot longer than you have and don't disrespect me for my answers to you ...

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) Joe Jacobs, a 34-year old father of four who lives just outside of Denver, views the current dysfunction in the U.S. government as a sign of something much bigger. "I feel like the American government is collapsing," he said. "The American financial system has too much debt to pay back, and they can only delay the inevitable so long." ...

"A 2-year-old Kentucky girl was accidentally killed by her 5-year-old brother who fired a rifle he had been given as a gift, officials said Wednesday." Parents can be arrested for not reporting a missing child. It's not even legal to let your child drive a car without a permit. Yet, this sad, sad story is unfortunately way too common. We MUST start holding adults accountable for guns in the home. ...

Apparently, Obama's campaign twitter account is following a porn feed. Of course, a porn star endorsed Romney. Ya just gotta shake your head at all of it. DO NOT open the link if bad language offends you. ...

Our oven is broke and I don't have a toaster oven. The only thing I have is a slow cooker, foreman grill and waffle maker (the latter two of course will not work). LOL I am so craving some chocolate cake and I just found a recipe for mocha oatmeal cake, or brownies, cobbler or whatever. I've made cornbread in the slow cooker and it came out really good, but what about regular cakes? Has anyone ever done one and if so do you know how long you would cook it for. There ...

Obama not slow in his response to oil spill ...

I found a recipe I'm going to post below, but I have a question on substuting something for something else. It's Braised chicken with potatoes. Looks yummy. The recipe calls for frozen artichoke hearts (which I love artichokes), but as I was looking at it thought cabbage would taste good with it instead. But it slow cooks for 2 hours. Do you think that cabbage would go mushy? I have not used my slow cooker in probably 5 years now, but I want to start ...

Fox in charge. Lucky for me, I will be working. ...

Election after election they get shellacked. They've lost governorships, state houses, and control of the 2 branches of the Federal government, soon to be all 3. ...and they have no idea why. You can sum it up with three phrases: 1. "Identity politics." 2. "Foolish globalism." 3. "America last." It's pretty easy to predict that in 2018 more dirt will be shovelled onto the Democrat grave and that Republicans will have a supermajority in the Senat ...

take a few laps in the pool, lay out for a while and then take a dip when I get hot, only problem is that it is so hot outside a hot bath would be cooler ... no fun at all. Now, what to do with my time since I still have no work. Guess I could clean but isn't it too hot for that too? :) ...

Senate Health Bill - 1502 pages "It's important to remember that the bill won't exist in this form for long. Senate Majority Leader Reid and Sens. Max Baucus and Chris Dodd along with senior White House aides are merging the Finance and Health Committee legislation into one bill that will be considered on the floor of the Senate. The behind-closed-doors dealings have drawn criticism from Republicans, particularly because President Obama had promised a transparent process and ...

They voted on the Baucus amendment and the Schumer amendment and both failed to pass. I find some of the comments very interesting from both sides. I will not give my comments on either side's remarks although I saw some really hateful speeches. I decided to look for any news reports on this but it doesn't tell the whole story. BTW, Baucus' proposal was to let tax rates rise on Jan. 1 on incomes over $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples fell on a vote of ...

So it's not over yet. Washington (CNN) -- Now that the House has passed the Senate's health care reform bill and a package meant to reconcile differences between the House and Senate bills, the next step is for members of the Senate to sign off on those changes. That won't be as easy as it sounds. Senate Republicans have indicated they will use any and all legislative tactics in order to slow -- even stop -- the reconciliation bill from passing. President Obama is expected to ...

If GWB did this there would be outrage (rightly so). ...

step down after next year. He's way too conservative for me, but apparently entirely too responsible and independent to suit the teapartiers and their backers. "In his retirement announcement, Mr. Chambliss expressed confidence that he would have beaten such foes, even as he voiced his frustration that compromise was increasingly impossible in Washington. “I have no doubt that had I decided to be a candidate, I would have won re-election,” he said. “Instead, this is ...

Election-year fears slow Senate work to a halt

Congress/Senate - It is all a game to both parties/houses

They have nothing to fear from me, I've given up - on voting for any of these slimeballs.
