House Republicans to Tackle Ambitious Budget

[sofa king]

5. Ha ha ha!

Folks, those of you who are looking to pare down your information intake over the coming months may wish to take note of this rule of thumb:

Any headline that says "House Republicans" in it can be ignored.

To illustrate my point, the grand list of controversial Republican-authored legislation which has been signed into law by President Obama since 2010 is: effing NONE.

No Republican budget has passed, or will pass, in the Senate. No Republican spending recommendations have been followed or even considered by the Senate. Since the GOP has played hide-the-ball since President Obama's inauguration, the penalty is that House Republicans get none of their own pet projects passed. We put Plexiglass up over the Republican baboon cage and now their special brand of politics--poop flinging--doesn't work at all.

There are about a thousand Latest Breaking News headlines over the past two years that say something like "House Republicans say you cain't have nothin' nice," and the outrage bleeds across multiple pages. But not a single damned one of those shitty ideas has survived long enough to be vetoed by the President.

So just laugh and move on, reminding yourself that if you and your pals just go out in November and vote straight-D all the way down, in two more election cycles you may never have to see a Republican on the ballot again.

That's how close we are to driving the stake through their heart.
