GOP infighting rises, poll standings fall

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Looks like that pep rally yesterday wasn't as successfull as the liberal media reported.

May 21, 2004 | WASHINGTON (AP) -- One lawmaker lectures a second about the need for sacrifice in time of war. A third accuses others of preening for television cameras rather than working on Iraq.

And that's just the Republicans, scuffling out of the Capitol for a 10-day break, legislative accomplishments hard to come by and their own election-year poll ratings in a slump that rivals President Bush's.


"They have no new ideas and no new answers for the American people," jabbed N.J. Rep. Robert Menendez, third-ranking Democrat in the House.

Republicans disagree strongly. And the Democrats have been fractious, too. Fifty-eight of them parted company with their party leaders on Thursday to support legislation making the federal child tax credit permanent.

1. I have nothing against the Federal Tax credit for children.

It costs a lot to raise a child today and it is getting much more expensive as long as the Republicans have control.

2. I agree..

What's wrong with the child tax credit?

See, for Republicans thpough, disagreement is a bad thing, Dems and even more specifically, liberals, I think are cool wioth not agreeing on everything. It's the "open-minded" thing. Conservatives see disagreement as a totally bad thing. Cna't be that way--not black and white enough!

3. This is a do-nothing Congrss, IMO.

Legislative accomplishments have been hard to come by, and when they come, they are rarely good for us, the regular people.

I think more and more people are realizing that now.

4. the one thing we can count on the 'do-nothing Congress' doing is blame

lack of anything getting done on Democratic obstructionism and gridlock. Cracks me up when they pull that one. Hey, GOP congress critters, you are the majority; what happens or doesn't happen is your own damned fault!

Guess enough of them are getting nasty-grams from their districts to give them second thoughts about Newt's lock step, assigned daily talking points approach to governing they all studied. Maybe some of them got enough mail suggesting they do the job of representing their constituents instead of kissing neocon junta ass. Maybe some of them see themselves 'outsourced' but public displeasure at their rubber stamp act.

My heart weeps.... NOT
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahah :evilgrin:
