Boehner Takes Gavel in House With Pledge to Bring Change

Yep here is Republicans change...

Just hours after taking control of the House, Republicans passed a sweeping set of rules promising transparency and reform.
But the new majority is already showing these promises aren’t exactly set in stone.

1 After calling for bills to go through a regular committee process, the bill that would repeal the health care law will not go through a single committee.

2 Despite promising a more open amendment process for bills, amendments for the health care repeal will be all but shut down.

3 After calling for a strict committee attendance list to be posted online, Republicans backpedaled and ditched that from the rules.

4 They promised constitutional citations for every bill but have yet to add that language to early bills.


Hahahaha... suckers

Two thoughts. First, the thrown out speaker's speech should never be longer than the newly elected speaker's speech. Second, dude needs to stop crying. Seriously. Go to the lounge with a copy of Old Yeller, get it all out, and then man up.

This. I would expect a D to cry over everything, but a R, come on now!

All I can say is that I just wasted two minutes and 54 seconds of my life.

So now you know how most of us feel when wading through one of your anti-Semitic posts.

I saved that pic and uploaded it to Facebook... and it somehow captioned itself. How is that possible?

Quite the collection of angry liberals here

Way to add something meaningful to the topic. Yawn, it's really getting old....

Gallagher Gavel!

Change? More like change back to the Bush years. Deregulate! Deregulate! Cut taxes for the rich even more, start more wars, borrow billions to fund them, and make sure that only the middle class and the poor pay for it all. Yay!

Let me follow this closely:

1. Obama gets elected promising health care reform

2. Obama enacts health care reform

3. *magically* now (apparently) no one wants health care reform, even though when polled about the individual parts of the hca everyone wants to keep those

4. A minority of the country (40.8 percent turnout rate) elect Republicans to enact change

5. Reps go back to playing pollitics and wasting time trying to repeal a bill that will never get repealed

6. Business as usual in Washington


And we wonder why citizens don't bother voting.

I think people do want something to be done about healthcare, just not the piece of shit that was passed...

Good point.

Now, who do we blame for it being the piece of shit that it is? The Dems that caved in to the repubs demands to get at least something out the door or the repubs who tried everything they could to keep it from passing?

Get government out of healthcare. Get rid of medicare. Let people pay their own way. If you can't afford insurance, guess what? You can't have insurance! That's how it should be.
