GOPer Laments Budget Inaction: We Just Simply Dont Know How To Govern

Source: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/steve-womack

Rep. Steve Womack (R-AR) on Tuesday bemoaned House Republicans’ apparent inability to bring a budget resolution to a vote on the chamber floor amid internal differences and higher-profile policy goals.

“We just simply don’t know how to govern,” Womack, a member of the House Budget Committee, told the Washington Post. “It’s almost like we’re serving in the minority right now.”

Lets get something straight Womack, your leader Paul Ryan is a jerk and so is McConnell

We are going to do this until September when your party is going to have to make a decision to either pass legislation to fund programs or you are going to be forced to shut down the government.

Second, your party has no clue as to what a 65 million member's of the resistance can do to jerks just like you and your party, that are out to harm not only us, but the human beings that can't defend themselves from your ilk, like the disabled, the poor, we are coming...................

The question was asked by both Democrats and traditional Republicans back in 2010 when the Republican Party rode the teabaggers back into power. "Sure, they have their majority, but now can they GOVERN with this bunch of whack-a-doodles?" We can now see the answer. Clear majorities in every branch of government, and they still can't do a damned thing. I'll bet Boehner is sitting back somewhere puffing on a Camel and sipping scotch, chuckling to himself.

but we still have to get Joe Sixpack to turn off the goddamned television and AM radio, and start voting in the best interests of his family and himself.

James Wigderson correct, taking over (right Wisconsin).

Do you folks go down and protest this "firm"?

I just went to there site and it looks like it just like the press clown show being held by the sexual predator, is there any left and I am proud to say left wing media outlets?

I was thinking of getting a small radio licences and start broadcasting out of my home, just to combat this right wing smear.

What are your thoughts?

"We should have just rammed this through both Houses regardless of the millions of people it would of hurt because now our big money donors will be pissed at us for not giving them those big tax breaks like they bribed us to do."

That is such a load of bullshit. They are in the majority and are throwing that weight around and pushing laws that are harmful to us all. They have a psychopath in the WH signing the greatness of this country away with a sharpie.

That dumbshit doesn't even understand the protocols for signing anything in public. Since cameras were allowed into signing statements the President has used a pen for every initial to give to people that made the event possible.

It is all about him and all about the enrichment of 400 families and nothing to do with us. The Rethugs are doing everything in their power to make money and tear our 'democracy' apart. They are succeeding.

They like the "every man for himself" way to live.

They like the IGMFU agenda - "I Got Mine, F-U."

They like the "watch me get all holy and sanctimonious and wrap myself around the Cross of Christ (while I completely ignore and dismiss, and even scoff at His teachings)." Hint: Check out Matthew 25:35-45. The one about "whatever you do to the least of these..."

They like the worship of the false gods of power and money.

I hope they face a Voters' Apocalypse in 2018.
